For mag wheels I suggest you avoid replica mags or fake mags even though their price points are very low and they look exactly like the original ones down to the stamps, engravings and stickers. Since they are fakes, there is no public company behind these products to ensure their quality, reliability and most of all safety. For 60k your options are: a) Look for second hand orig Rays mags. b) Get the cheaper orig Enkei mags which are below 60k. c) Go with Rota, or Concept One mags which have models which are similar to the popular Rays models. These are established companies which stand behind their products and have passed international quality and safety standards. For 17 inch models price range is from 25k to 35K. For 18 inch models price range is from 30k - 45k. This should give you change to buy a new set of tires as well.

For a replica TRD body kit, in terms of quality, durability, fit and finish, original ones are still the best but the HC racing ones should be good enough since these are only cosmetic and do not pose any safety issues. Price range is at 38k - 45k depending on your haggling skills.

For exhaust, you can get the complete Stivo package for much less than 60k:
a) UEL headers - 11k b) Sport plus axleback - 10k c) Resonated test pipe - 10k. Good quality, decent gains and excellent customer support.

This will give you 29k+35k to spend for:
a) Intake - just buy a drop in filter either K&N or HKS as the power gains are the same or even better than most intake systems. Price is 3.5k-5k.
b) Springs - Tein H or S Tech Lowering springs 9k - 12k
c) Sounds - FlyAudio head unit (with GPS already) 28k, amp 5k, speakers 10k

Hope this help you out.

Wow this is like all the info i need.. Thank you so much..... As you can see i am a noob on these car set ups...

Too much spoonfeeding to ask but as i live 300km away from Quezon City, may i ask for some more suggestions?

The complete Stivo Package, any shop suggestions?

I am looking for Rota Titan, but i see Rays everywhere. Sportszentrium looks nice with all those wheels in display, do they have rota there as well?

Coilover vs Springs...... Should i just go for springs right now since it would save me a lot of money on doing so? Maraming humps dito samin. Is 1.3' drop ok?
