The skirts are part of the Toyota Neo kit. They are NOT TRD, just factory options. The air intake you have will likely decrease the engine performance. There's a load of info on forums about this, but the factory intake is actually better than most aftermarket options. I think it is just the Apexi intake that has shown to be better. For a deeper exhaust note, keep the midsection stock and go for a HKS HiPower Silent. It reduces the booming note in the car at cruise speeds and isn't too outrageous. Also takes away the rasp nicely. Going straight pipe is gross and not worth the rasp. If possible, brace up the chassis a bit. Makes it drive a lot better. I'm going the ITB route on mine, you can use 4AGE blacktop throttles on an adapter plate such as the SQ engineering one. A few other bits are needed with this, like throttle linkage relocation and modifying the clutch reservoir but it doesn't work out too expensive. You can then use an AltezzaLink ECU which is basically plug in and play.

i don't think that 12v plug you put in can handle that many amps, idk if you'll be able to run everything off of it. the charging on the phone might be extremely slow because wireless charging is inefficient to begin with. the original OEM socket can provide enough power but the plug you put in it is probably only rated for 3 amps i'm guessing?

Honestly if he Jz swaps it and goes for a massive amount of power it's going to be boring cause everyone else and there mothers are doing big turbo big power Jz and Ls builds.
