THIS.

Forget Forced Induction or suspension/tires. These mods will add an extra 230BWHP per gasoline mile. JDM yo.

I would keep it simple, debadge and then go for Scion FRS badges. Oh and I would change the front bumper assembly too so it looks a Scion.

1) sign the paperwork
2) pay for the car
3) drive it off the lot
4) get drive-thru
5) drive it home
6) wash it
7) drive it somewhere from home
8) drive it back home
9) go to sleep
10) figure out what you dislike, then mod the car.

Modifications, exactly as the word implies, is changing something on the car. What you like or dislike will be different than the next person. Figure out what your priorities in life are, then go change those you don't like.

Or if I were you, I'd take my college diploma and burn it.

Good wash, detail and wax.
Tint (legal of course)
Start looking at wheels and tires but don't buy any until you know what you want.
Maintenance if the car is used.

But the Scion badge is like the Jumpman logo. You know everybody wants Nike Air I mean Toyota badges.

You don't really know what you need until you spend enough seat time. It differs from a driver to another. Some may want to stiffen up suspension, some may want a stickier set of tires, some may want a little more power.

When you figure out what you want to change on the car, research the part(s) that you're interested in and save/don't cheap out on/settle for parts because something is cheaper or just "good enough."
