I've had this car for almost five years now. She's seen her share of changes, good ideas and bad. I finally went ahead and compiled a bunch of pictures to show the evolution of my tC. Enjoy the pics (there's quite a few) and feel free to share your thoughts, you won't hurt my feelings.

These are mostly in chronological order.


Earliest pics I could find.

























Scraped tail light project-





Then the pinstriping era began.







And continued on into the interior.










Picked up a RS1 carbon front lip.









Moar pinstripes?!? Yeah.









Did some painting.









I had this silly idea.



And it turned out like this.









VRD foggies, Frankenstein grille and Kami carbon hood.







GFX side skirts.





VW/Evo/Audi bumper vinyl.






After wearing stockies for a while I gots baby some new shoes.







The clear on my OE style CF hood crapped out. I couldn't fix it, so I ratle canned it and then attacked it with a Sharpie.





That hood eventually faded. ~8 months of rain, sun, bird poo, snow, salt and dozens of car washes with no clear will do that. Didn't fade off completely, but I had been working on a new hood....


Somewhere in there I went to town on my hatch garnish....


...and then rattle canned the hatch. Haven't figured out what I'm going to do on it, but I'm thinking some stencil work.

 

Dude that picture that was on the side of your car looked kinda like hitler. do you know what the kanji on the seats mean? overall very nice looking good.

 

Hitler huh? Hadn't heard that one. I did get Steve Buschemi, Bela Lugosi, Edgar Allen Poe and Abraham Lincoln (wtf right?). The Kanji says Scion.

 

abe lincoln? they looking at the same pic? The kanji is pretty nice. wanna sell me them? lol

 

Yeah, I don't see it either. I've been contemplating selling the seats but shipping 'em to you would be spendy and a major headache.

 

oh thats actually the whole seats? i thought it was just seat covers.

 

They're stockies that have been re-upholstered.

 

oh..... then yeah that would be expensive to ship.

 

I'd say lose the tail overlays 'cause they're hideous but they actually look pretty clean on your car.

Car looks really good and i'm diggin the grille.

any plans for the future?

 

Yeah, I've thought about getting rid of them but there are so few tCs that have them. I like the pseudo-exclusivity.

Future plans include a rear lip, spoiler, some new ideas I want to try out with vinyl, and maybe some spacers.

 

You should do a LED gauge swap.

 

I was thinking yellow, but that's close enough to amber that it doesn't seem quite worth it.

 

who is that pic on the car?

 

Nice man!.....I give ya Props for trying different things!

Guess having a GOOD camera makes everything look Crisper & Cleaner!

 

those gold wheels are nice what are they?

 

very nice. did you get a new rearview mirror?

 

lookin good these days!

 

I have to be a smart ___ and say thats not kanji on your seats but katakana

Always liked your ride since I first started floating around SL. Very nice The gold interior is definitely my fav part of the car

 

Clean, you just really need a rear lip

 

looks good!
