Toyota Accessories

[TitanRattler813]

Hey guys, I got a dilemma... I'll start with the background info.

Basically, when I bought my X, there was a combination of:
1. apprehension (cuz I wasn't sure if I wanted to hold out for the BSP)
2. irritability (cuz I was missing the freakin Super Bowl)
3. I don't know what to call it, but I was trying to hide my giddyness from the salesperson :laugh:

Because of this combination of awkward emotions, I forgot had just graduated from college a little over a year ago and neglected to bring up the college grad program in my negotiations. :frown: :banghead:

So I called Toyota Financial, they said they couldn't do anything. I called the customer service at the dealer, they said I was S.O.L. as well. So just when I was starting to believe I screwed myself out of 400 bux, I decided to give the sales manager a shot. (The guy that sold me the car quit, lol, so I went to the manager of his department.)

Anyway, to make an already long story not as long as it could be, I now have a credit to the parts department at Toyota for $350.

I dunno what I should get :dontknow:

This'll be my very first mod, and I'm not really a big TRD fan, but since I got the free money, why not?

So what do you guys suggest:questionmark: If all else fails, I could just get a homelink mirror and get that big ugly garage opener outta my truck... :biggrin:

TRD Short Shifter would be my pick. You don't realize how LOOOOOOOOOONG that throw is until you shorten it by an inch or so.

I agree, i have the TRD SS and i love it.

 

[XPC_XR]

TRD ftw. I wish I had a $350 credit to get one, haha.

 

[TACO LIBRE]

yea me too that would be sweet, the grad program was $1000 in december when i got my X

 

[X-Rizzo]

I would either get the SS, the CAI, or the seat covers.:top:

 

[Bobby B]

Floor mats
Air freshener
key chain
licence plate frame
a TRD hat and shirt
new light bulbs
sheep skin seat covers
the ash tray is cool, though I think it should have come with
the truck I had to buy it so I could keep my change in

what other crap do they have in the parts store
ha ha they have all the same lame crap that they do at the car wash

a soda from the machine in the waiting area.

oh yeah most important
the cashier girl's phone number
:biggrin:

 

[morcheez]

the seat covers arent a bad idea ...the s/s isnt bad either but they charge alot for thiers so it would probably eat up the whole 350

 

[DOGO X]

why not a DEPOSIT for the TRD S/C :biggrin:

 

[07xrunner]

:rolleyez: yeah like thats ever gonna come out :laugh:

Exactly... stoopid liars. :eviltongue:

These were actually 2 of my first 3 choices, along with a CAI, but I'm already planning on getting my interior decked out, so I don't think I want the covers. I guess it's a toss-up between the s/s and CAI :dontknow:

:biggrin:

Since the cashier person happens to not be a girl :thumpdown: , I went the business card route instead

 

[TitanRattler813]

:hahaha: It was funny how the salesperson thought the whole conversation I had with the parts guy was a different language. He had no idea what a s/s is, nor a CAI, catback... anything. You guys shoulda seen the look on his face.

Now why is it that not a single person in the Toyota Service department knew how much labor they charge to install a s/s? Most of them didn't even know that the heck it is... :stupid:

With that being said... did any of you guys do the TRD s/s install yourselves? How difficult is it? Even a link to a write-up would help.

Or Spyder327?

 

[07XR808]

I would go with the TRD S/S. It makes a big difference and is the best TRD modification out there at this point. Since I have the S/S, I would personally choose the TRD CAI. I really want one since I heard many good things about it

 

[X-Rizzo]

The install is pretty simple. Get it and all us AZ guys can get together and help you install it.:top:

I'm sure we can help you install it man.

 

[DOGSTOY06]

go for the s/s .the install is relatively easy and you have volunteers to help ya.

 

[TitanRattler813]

Ok, I'm now up to 85% sure I want the s/s.

The budget conscious part of me wanted to get the CAI and just buy the s/s from URD (since it costs WAY less and gets great reviews), but I won't be buying any parts for a few months or so and I'd much rather have a s/s now over an intake, so....

I'm almost sure, lol :rolleyez:

 

[X-Rizzo]

Let us know.:top:

 

[nxrunner]

TRD SS.....:top:

 

[morcheez]

s/s all the way...intake wont do anything for u ...except for a cool sound
