Shinjitai's tC (9/2/09)
UPDATE 9/2/09
7/24/09 Crappy cell phone pic cause my camera broke. I effing love it though. I have a lot to do in these up coming weeks. I'll take better pics when i get around to fixing my fender. ENJOY!
7/23/09 Tire is mounted! Enjoy. Crazy stretch!!! I'll try to get pictures tonight of it mounted.
closer view
so sexy. you can see the others waiting to be built in the back.
7/20/09 So today was a good and bad day.
The good: I got all my camber kits today so im ready to go crazy Negative camber on this thing.
The bad:While going home from work i noticed a dent in my passenger side rear fender. In my mind I was a bit sad, but I guess it was a sign for me to start flaring my fenders. I went home and started to work and I'm happy and sad about the outcome. Its really hard to explain and i have really crappy pics because it was almost dark.
7/17/09 A small one. But i was able to finish up 3 more rims. Had to strip down the first one and i need to repaint it later because it wasn't to my liking. I love how the other 3 came out though. I will have a closer pic later of my paint job.
Also 1 tire came in. I'm hoping to get it mounted by sunday. Then from there i can start pulling/flaring my fenders.
7/15/09 Stickers? YAWP! I just finished sealing up the one of the rear rims and I was bored of waiting.(takes 2 days) I like the flush look so i got this idea from the VW forums. I would like to turn these into stickers because i think it would look sick! These are made by me of course and if anyone is interested, maybe we can get something going.
7/14/09:So i was able to finish painting one of the centers and came out great. I have 1 tire coming in on thursday and i need to finish and put together one of the rears to get it mounted. From there i can start working on my fenders.
Mock up of how it will look like.
Then i slapped em on my car too see how much work i need to do.
I have a lot of pulling and flaring ahead of me...
Thanks!
7/13/09 Just waiting on a few more things to come in. As of right now i am working on rebuilding my rims.
(note: I personally do everything that has been done to the car myself. That includes installing and painting.)
The New Rollers. Many have already guessed it, so i decided to just show everyone. I will be keeping the specs of the rear to myself though.
Enjoy!

Hey everyone,
This is my first time posting. I've known scionlife for a while, but i've never been active on it. I did every mod on the car myself and i love how she has turned out. Painting the Lip kit, installing it, fog lights, badgeless grill, suspension, etc. Anyway, heres my tC. Hope you enjoy.
Timeline:
The only pic i have of her when she was stock.
Homemade grill.
Lowered on Tein s-techs.
Hks hi-power axleback exhaust.
RS1 Lip kit unpainted.
Fogs installed, Painted lip, and Painted tC rims bronze.
