None of them look bad IMO. I think there's one being done for the Acura TL too.
And :love: his NSX in the background...

KINGxOFxSKA 01-07-2008, 03:59 PM I dunno.... I was just joining in on the fun. :P
Although it looks good, if I ever see anyone with that I'm gonna roast them. People always talk trash about tCs, but then they want to go and copy our design. http://i1.tinypic.com/7xcsqbr.gif

TeeCizzle 01-07-2008, 04:27 PM ^^ YES...The Poop-stang is offering a ALL-Glass roof...hahaha....FORD u biters!!!!
kld04g 01-07-2008, 06:09 PM I think they look good I won't lie. One thing I really like about the tC is the black roof in contrast with the color of the car, SW being my favorite of course :-D.
That Glassback mustang or whatever it is it pretty cool, but I keep thinking it would be too hot or too bright in the car (unless it has a shade or some dark a$$ tint)
Dakine 01-07-2008, 06:23 PM all the cars are nice with black roofs....
However honda should stay out of this. they dont deserve the "scion look"
WAlterEgo 01-07-2008, 08:07 PM However honda should stay out of this. they dont deserve the "scion look"
indeed... that nsx is hot.

toeveryhour 01-07-2008, 11:58 PM wow, that's crazy.
freakin' copy cats.
=(
tcridinclean 01-08-2008, 12:49 AM the benz E500 amg had a glass roof around when the tc 1st came out... that was maybe the 1st car i saw as a copy cat even tho its bad ___ lol

RnB180 01-08-2008, 01:41 AM civic si owners often bash tcs in the forums
odd that the glass roof look is actually sought after by them now.
either way looks good. that pic of the silver civic looks similar to a tc now.
not sure if im feelin the look on the g35 however.
Just ran across this video of a glass-roofed regular Mustang in action:

JOEinSD 01-14-2008, 06:08 AM Meh, still don't like mustangs..
kungpaosamuraiii 01-14-2008, 06:15 AM It's very ignorant of those who'd say others are copying the tC's style.
True, though, the tC seems to have brought the look back but remember the early 90's saw a CRX with an all glass roof. I'm sure there are other cars the precede the tC and have glass roofs too.
CRUZtc8 01-14-2008, 06:32 AM Just ran across this video of a glass-roofed regular Mustang in action:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XAlGb33Rpgto bad it doesnt opens.
ScionizedRide 01-14-2008, 06:35 AM that guy in the video is sooo hott LMAO! :rofl:... sorry.:doh:
but yeah, tCs have the nicest roof imo

HaYnSktC 01-14-2008, 04:00 PM whoa bluebat has an nsx too??

Chichum 01-18-2008, 12:49 PM So jealous - I've wanted a Viper since I was a kid.... Someday, someday. Maybe if I trade my Jeep and my Scion in I can get one!
Looks like the vinyl business pays well!
SW_08 01-18-2008, 02:25 PM ^ lol
atodak 01-18-2008, 02:45 PM scion actually scopied the same roof from Mercedes coupe. cant remember the model numbber though.
SW_08 01-18-2008, 03:05 PM ^ your talking about the c230 coupe kommpresser or whatever?
atodak 01-18-2008, 04:38 PM sounds like it.
bigwillystyle23 01-18-2008, 04:48 PM civics copying tc's is way worse than the TC copying a mercedes. they talk trash about us but deep down inside they want what we have.. haha. i heard the new ford edge lookalike..the lincoln mkx or whatver has a glass roof and it rattles really bad. it makes me feel better that tc's arent the only ones with that problem. and they paid like more than double what we did.
SW_08 01-18-2008, 05:09 PM ^^^^ AGREE
Blue_Batmobile 01-20-2008, 11:42 AM Looks like the vinyl business pays well!
eh, its just a part of a much bigger picture. I'm a full time teacher, I do freelance art and design, anf ofcourse vinyl on the side. 24/7 days are the norm for me. I dont get much sleep. Plus I have a 21 month old son and a 5 week old daughter!

Nick06tC 01-20-2008, 12:40 PM Pretty funny that people say others are copying the Scion tC, when there are cars before the tC with all glass roofs THAT OPEN.
Look at the Mercedes Benz C230 (and I think 330). They had a full glass roof in the 90s all the way til the mid 2000's.
So if anyone is copying, its Scion.

Nick06tC 01-20-2008, 12:43 PM Oh and there was the 993 Porsche in the mid 90s that had a full glass roof that flowwed back to the wing. Had a pop up sunroof in it.
scion copied the things with four wheels back in the 1920's too
f'ucking scions.
Nick06tC 01-20-2008, 07:12 PM and those darn steering wheels. Didnt a car before us have them? Or is the Civics copying us on them too?
lol, damn imitators. always up to no good and shiet.
bigwillystyle23 01-20-2008, 10:52 PM those mercedes are FUGLY

bBlover 01-21-2008, 02:01 AM cool! haha
bigwillystyle23 01-21-2008, 02:34 AM looks good on the inside but NOT on the outside.
so much for sun visors!
azureloki 01-21-2008, 02:41 AM wahhh i like the blue nsx!
Yeah, it looks totally awesome from the inside. It looks totally goofy when you are looking at it head-on though.
Rj661 01-21-2008, 03:14 AM what about this front bumpers who's the first and who's the imitator

i thought we went off topic.
but in reality, we are on topic. how coool
Nick06tC 01-21-2008, 12:29 PM The front end has already been done like that on MANY cars!!
So yet again, scion/batmobile is copying.
Not saying its a bad thing. But dont claim it as us being the first, until you know your cars!!!
