How would you custom configure your Scion tC?

I was configuring a Scion tC for fun on the website and there are many more choices than I thought. Some stuff is really simple like the cargo nets, etc. I mean I doubt there is a "best" cargo net out there so the factory ones are fine.

But some others, I am not too sure about. For instance, I wouldn't mind having a sub. The sub they offer fits into the side of the trunk. It's molded specfically to fit there. But it's a Bazooka. I am no car audio expert but I know Bazooka isn't that great or well respected. But it fits there so well. So for something like that, would it be better to not get it and wait til some other company releases a similar model? Who knows if that will ever even be an option.

What about other items like strut bars, etc? Can we be assured that some other companies will definitely make a strut bar for the Scion tC?

What are worthy upgrades? What are just a waste of money? How about factory options? Those are easier to decide on since there probably won't be anyone that makes a rear bumper protection product. So this is just deciding whether or not the item is a worthwhile uprade.

What about the LED upgrade.

Any insight would be appreciated. And LIST YOUR CONFIGURARTION!!!

I'd just like to point out that scion has only 2 factory options (extra airbags & something else), and the rest of the options are 'applied' to the car at the dealer, by the dealer.

So that's how they get you, eh? :Q

Yep.

"Yep, I want all this stuff, but just throw it in the trunk, I'll take care of it"

Most of the time factory accessories come with installation instructions anyway, so anyone with half a brain can install the stuff.

Good lord, the more I look at this car, the more I want one. It kind of reminds me of my dream car, the skyline.

don't know anything about the skyline, but this is the first car ever to have made me able to see myself in it(styling and everything, plus budget)
