Hello my fellow scionheads. I am writing up this post to get your input on the ideas i had for my 2007 super white tC (not going to put pics of a stock white tC to make this 56k friendly). I am thinking about a set of enkei evo 6 in anthracite(18"x7.5" 35mm offset with about a 215/30) for the shoes, a set of tein s-techs for the drop, jsp carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber lip kit (any suggestions of styles would be appreciated). I am thinking about getting the new '08 headlights for the projectors and putting a 5000k HID kit in it. About a 20% tint, including all the lenses for the lights so that basically everything but the body is blacked out. I also would appreciate any suggestion for different parts (as in instead of the ones that i mentioned) for the exterior and if anyone knows anything for interior that would follow the black/white look and is clean looking.

Lol, yea looking for the nice clean look as well? And i might go for coilovers instead since i'm going to end up dropping a turbo into, and am still hoping they will make a lift head for the 2az-fe.

im getting ready to do the lip on my sw08 and the wheels hopefully within the month, i already lowered it and did the few performance mods to it just for starters, dont want to bore you with pics until i get the outside looking different other then lowered...cant wait

Nice, i plan on doing the outside first, though i might get a turbo kit for free off this girl who bought a tC boosted but doesn't want the boost anymore. And i also want the looks first to ____ of my old car club that kicked me out cause i wouldn't put their damn ugly ___ sticker across the top of my windshield.

Paint the top of the CF. Sorry im not a fan of a car coming out of nowhere with this CF hood. Pop it and show off that its CF.

Well i wanted the CF cause it contrasted the white and tied in with the dark colored wheels i wanted and the darkness of the glass roof. Was going for the two tone black and white look.

Good ideas. Be sure to get the CF eyelids if you do plan on getting the hood and the new head lights. Get 6000K instead of 5000k, it looks better in my opinion because its super white with just a very small hint of blue and looks amazing when shown through the projectors

You may not want to run a 30 series tire if you get the evo6 rims. A 30 series tire with a width of 215 will be very narrow and you would have to be very careful daily driving. For an 18" wheen I'd recommend a 215/40 or 225/40. All of your other suggestions look great!

everything sounds good cept the headlights... I just don't like people putting bulbs in housings that arn't made for it. Regardless of how little glare people say there is the projector was designed for halogen bulbs and should be used with such bulbs...

Yea i was actually looking into that last night and i found that a 225/35 was actually perfect cause it was an ok sized sidewall and was close in size to what i have now (1.7% difference)

I might go with this suggestion because i had been looking into getting all the interior lights changed to mixes of blue and white instead of that tangerine type color.

Well i'm going to be running the headlights through like 20%-30% tints on the housing which will cut down on light and glare.
