I'm very happy with the car out of the box, and yeah it is a great car with a clean canvas to customize. Id say a slightly lower drop, maybe just 0.5 inch

Few things that really should be from the factory and are free: clutch pedal height adjustment, clutch pedal spring removal, and better stock tune. The openflash stage 1 tune is unbelievably good. Everything else I've done in the car has changed it, but not made it strictly better.

No sound tube
Adjustable camber
Better brake fluid and pad material
A true stability control off mode (easy to access)
An "ABS off" button

I would have liked a quality 16" wheel and tire setup, although I think I would have upgraded from steelies if that was the option though...

Edit: Oil pressure and temperature instead of useless speedo needle.

I'm only asking one thing from the factory: BETTER CLIMATE CONTROL KNOBS ON THE BASE!

I agree 100% with you on this.

Whatever mods a person wants can be installed after the purchase for less money than Toyota or any dealership would ask for said parts and labor.

Unfortunately many aftermarket mods will void the warranty. Nice to have a factory option.

Well, unlike western states, eastern states have 100% humidity during the summer. My windows and mirrors are fogged up almost every morning. The heated mirrors are worth the extra money

That's only if the aftermarket parts cause the failure never let dealers put the screws to you.

I grew up in nasty humidity as well....never even thought of heated mirrors for that particular situation. Learn something new every day!

Yeah, I don't think I've ever been in a dry heat all my life. I've heard it's better than this humid heat in South Georgia :p
