    I know the different trim levels have different accessories and goo-gaws, but what extra fun stuff would you like to purchase for your car if money wasn't an issue?

    I'd like the rear bumper guard since we do use the back area to haul a lot of different things.

    The custom heat shield (that one i will get as soon as i can).

    Sun visor extensions.

    Engine block heater (not that i really need one, but i want one).

    UltraGauge or ScanGauge (again, not needed but definitely wanted).

    Better floor mats.

    That's all I can think of at the moment... anyone else care to chime in?

    I'd like to find a good auto upholstery shop to redo the seat cushions on the passengers side (bad back issues) .
    Block heater
    Better tires for the upcoming snow. Stock Turanzas have me concerned.
    Replace the stock speakers, add a small sub that doesn't take up too much hatch.
    Weathertech floor mats
    Yaris head restraints for the back seat

    Lots of good goodies here. Not all of them are things which I, personally, would want, but I can certainly see the attractions.

    In the OP you said "if money was now issue". based on that what upgrades have been posed you would just plain not want? Sorry to put you on the spot i'm just curious.

    What don't I want? Leather seats, not with our summer heat. Shark fin antenna, just doesn't appeal to me.

    Those are two things which if I was offered for free I would still decline. Everything else other folks have posted, if someone wanted to freebie them to me, I probably wouldn't turn 'em down. More/better speakers and/or better stereo is always a plus.

    I'm still tossing up if I like the cargo area carpet mat enough to order from the US or get someone here to import for me. Toyota Australia only offers the all-weather liner. I like the concept of the cargo net too (also not offered here) but am concerned about its positioning and likelihood of items slapping against the tailgate (especially as one of the key items I would put in there would be a tripod).

    ScanGuage is on the list too.

    I have the cargo net and can tell you it only hangs from each top corner, therefore, your concern about "slapping" would happen. I am disappointed over lack of bottom corner anchors.

    I thought of something else I'd like added to my C, though I have no clue if such a thing exists.

    I would like a not-too-loud back up beeper that is manually controlled. I don't want a backup beep that goes off every time the car is in reverse, and I don't want one as loud as most delivery trucks have. I've had numerous "close calls" in parking lots because the other cars or pedestrians around me did not realize my car was running. The horn (as pathetic as it may be) is more than I want (and i haven't readjusted to having the horn in the middle instead of being on one of the "spokes" of the steering wheel).

    It might be fun, but I'd be afraid of someone suing me for causing their heart attack!

    A small light under the dash in the center, where the cup holders are. I'd like a small light there, maybe activated with the headlights.

    I don't have my C yet, but I wish it didn't have power windows. I think the C is all about cheap. small, no waste, good mpg, etc. and it just feels silly to have electric windows, and bluetooth.

    For each his/her own, but for me, the C is all about being cheap, and I think it could go cheaper and better. by not having bluetooth or power windows.

    oh, I love the skinny shit tires. :)
