I think it's all cosmetic for her. Not performance. I think she just wants to see a huge rally blue bar across her motor

Agreed, blue and pearl white is a classy combination.

P.S. I'm in love with the Ground Control camber plate and strut bar combo. They do custom colors, but it's $$$ and they don't have a version for stock top hats yet.

What are your guys thoughts on TRD equipment? I just ordered a TRD cold air intake and was also thinking about the exhaust system for my next purchase but am unsure if TRD is the way to go.

I have the TRD intake. Its a lil pricey but I like it. The TRD exhaust is nice too. Its basically a magnaflow exhaust so its smooth and not too loud. Im thinking about switching my exhaust again, lol, to the TRD just to have it.

I like the TRD intake, mostly because some intakes have been causing problems with the ecu tune, and the TRD is covered by warranty. Plus the filter is massive! No restrictions there.

I think the exhaust looks pretty cool, but it doesn't offer much of a performance gain as a standalone axleback, and for what it costs it really should. Pick one up if someone offers you 50% off.

TRD in general is expensive for the actual performance gains, but worth it for some people when warranty coverage is factored in. And it can be pretty competitive, performance-wise. There's a all-TRD tC that kicks my butt pretty regularly at autocross (being a good driver helps too ).

TRD exhaust with a catless or high flow cat down pipe will flow good.
