Default Scion tC gas door sticker

Hey guys and gals, its been a long time since I posted so here I go. I found these gas door stickers:

I think it will look good with the carbon fiber hood and trunk.
I also found these side body stickers, this one is my favorite:

Enjoy.

Ive seen those stickers on gas caps before of other cars and they look terrible, sorry, im not trying to be a dick, but dont get one! wait for the real carbon fibre gas cover,
As for me im waiting for the stainless steel or billet aluminum!

the side sticker looks pretty cool, but expect a lot of "haters" to blast you for liking it!

i did the same thing as you with my front lights (blue) anyways where did you get the TRD emblem?

Thanks for the advice zac they look good in the picture, but maybe in they do look like crap in real life. As for the side sticker, there is always going to be critics here about something. I got the TRD emblem at :

As for the fron lights, they were a must for me, I also swapped out any other bulbs I could.

It's only a matter of time before some one does make them, if you can fabricate one lets us know when you have, thanks.

Well I would like to get a CF hood for my Flint tC, I think with a CF gas door and hood it would accent it well and look nice. To top it off I just remembered that I have a good amount of NICE CF in my garage just waiting to be used. I'll talk to my local machine shop about the aluminum rim/edge and see what they could do along the lines of a brushed/polished one (im leaning more towards brushed myself) and if I do go ahead and make one (good quality for sure) I'll be sure to post pics of before/after for all the people who wanna see what it would look like.

I just got an e-mail from a manufacture that said a real carbon fiber fuel door will be available in about 1 week. Check the thread on XB real carbon fuel door.

i'm not a big fan of stickers... in fact i hate them, along with clear taillights... so ricey. if you must put a sticker on your car pick one that flows with the lines of the car better, that one wouldn't look all that great i don't think

I was at the Scion Winter Bash here in SoCal on December 5th... There was a car with a CF hood and CF hatch. It looked really good on that car though, because it was black to start with.

I would NEVER... NEVER put unpainted CF accents on a light colored car for sure. Then you're just going over into the rice and rediculous look. On a dark colored car, it can be tastefully done.

Just one more opinion... The CF fuel door would look best without the trim around it.

That fake CF vinyl looks awful up close. It doesn't even resemble real CF. Might as well just go with a colored trim accent instead of fake CF... IMO.

i rather have a full billet gas door cover than a wannabe CF overlay. It look like there's a big hole in the rear quarter panel.

Nevertheless... another tC product on the market
