IMO, cars look best stock..with the exception of wheels and tint. So, I would tint the windows and throw on a turbo/supercharger once available if this car ends up not being offered with one from the factory.

My first mod would be a radar detector.

First Thing I changed on my last car was a Flywheel and Clutch, but I'm expecting FT86 to come with a light Fly and a good Clutch ... Hoping it's an Exedy. I like Light flywheels because of how fast it make engines rev, but for my first mod here...hmm... if it's not Intake it's definitely wheels. I have this order of things I get, and I kept to the order for my last 3 cars.

leave her as she is for a bit then most likely tyres and wheels (summer mode) keep stock as winter mode
|
Come to think of it, I can't recall a factory shift knob a actually like. Also depending on the throw, a short shifter
|

lol, j/k. but that's the knob i have on my MR2 and i can't think of anything i'd rather have. |

That was the exact shift knob that came to my mind. I bought one a couple years ago for our old 98 Celica as it was what came in SS-iii Celicas from 98-99. I still have it sitting in it's original bag, never been installed. The Supra came with a similar one as well...but obviously had 6 gears instead of 5 on the top. |
Considering it's a Toyota...they better offer a good sound system anyway dammit
Will it even be stick? Could be shifters for all we know....stick is dying |

excuse the dirty interior, but there it is! TRD lever, brass base and cable bushings, 98 knob, redline boot. |
^ need to do some dusting of the dash there XD
|
wheels/tires
then coilovers then probably tint straight pipe exhaust |
Ya I know what they look like, I have never used one. But they do look great don't get me wrong.
|
Wheels. Tires. Tint. Will decided on coilovers after a few rides in the canyon and track *possibly*.
At some point.. I was also thinking of adding a little design onto my car so it looks different. lol |
Already voted. But "one" of my first mods will be converting to a Nardi steering wheel with boss kit..

In this order: Intake, Straight Pipes, Cams (if they come out quickly), SS brake lines and larger rotors, sways and coilovers, TWM shifter (already trying to get them to make a full replacement), tune to bring it all out.

Here's my ride and shifter setup. http://cobaltss.net/gallery/files/5/...9/still_4.jpeg TWM Stage II shifter. TWM Brass Bushings and cable adapter. I thought about upgrading knobs, but I like the leather knob and I can just switch to their Type-R knob that's in my other car if I really cared. |

Wheels aren't even on my list because I go for power instead of looks. I'm not a fan of donks, ty.

Voted for wheels.
I'm thinking Advans, more specifically TCIIs. I haven't decided what color though, but that completely depends what color I even get the FT86 in. |
Here the list:
-Volk lightweight racing rims -Nitto tires -racing coilovers front and rear -Brembo GTR brakes -CF cold air intake -free flow catless exhaust system (Titanium) -if OEM quality CF roof, hood, bootlid and maybe doors and inner pannels Probably more after knowing all details when the car is released. Maybe displacement increase but for sure no turbo. |
I'm going to wait until the weak points are determined, then wait until there is enough aftermarket support to select the best engineered solution. If no suitable solution exists, I'll get off my duff and make it happen with the resources I have.
|
Wheels, tints, and a nice Ti exhaust should happen pretty quickly for me.

Not that I'm actually going to get one, but it would be wheels, drop and flush (not, not "hella" flush) for me. Most important 3 mods for any car. :)
|
Tires all the way!
|
Will probably leave it stock for a bit until we get a good selection of aftermarket parts.
|
Hard to say right now....HOWEVER, I would go straight for new tires and wheels.
Perhaps a TBE + downpipe and CAI or short ram and aftermarket fogs and I'll make em my DRLs. Obviously I'll have to wait and see the complete specs of the car upon it's release. |
In this order
-Tint (and maybe doing the tails too) -Black badges/removing stupid ones like the dealer stickers -Short shifter/new shift knob -Winter tires (seeing as the cars 'supposedly' coming out in november of 2012) -Summer wheels/tires (some light 17's probably) -Tein coilovers -EDFC integrated into my console so it looks stock -Sway bars once there are some good ones out |
