maybe if you lived with your mom a little longer, you would learn how to color match. Why did you do a orange interior with fuzzy side panels is beyond my understanding. Plus your ride would be much cleaner without the orange interior, spec decal, tC emblem on the grill, goofy stock spoiler, and tinted headlights.

LOL

<3 that there.


I like the off the wall interior, but I do agree the spec sticker is a little corny. But I also think the "VVT-i" stickers and what not some people have are tacky. Some people think the tc emblem on the grill is tacky, and I'm guilty of that. Its all opinion.

Also your wheels are a little too "hey look at mee" for my taste. If you had black wheels, get rid of the sticker, and paint the tc emblem black you'll have a better theme going. Then you will have clean and sleek outside and party inside.

Like a automotive mullet!

I just didn't like the black wheels cause they are played out, well I mean so is the tc emblem on the front. But the spec sticker is to show it is a spec, i got the last year the make them. At exposed yesterday I had 1 of 2 specs that where there. The judges thought it was neat to have a spec.

eh...why would people care if your ride is spec? Its like buying the lowest model of a car and then slapping an obnoxious sticker that screams I bought the cheapest model. Get it? If the judges were true scion enthusiast they would not need a jumbo sticker to tell them that the tC is spec.

Another example, say someone lost one of there nuts..do they then wear a badge that says I have one nut?

CSOCSO, this is his ride..a good example for you to look at. He gunned for a similar theme as you so you might want to take some minor tips or somehow grasp a better image of what your ride could look like. If you want to keep your funky orange interior then thats you but please do something about that spec sticker.

the sticker is a bit cheesy. I say lose it. Put the stock hood on and it'll be a little better.

Is that hood even carbon fiber?

I put the spec sticker on there to say "I did buy the cheapest tC, but it can look just as good as a regular one with out all the luxury items"

it can look as good, you just don't need a huge sticker to say it.

welcome though.

Welcome to SL!
1) The orange is going to get you a lot of comments.
2) Any sticker will get you a lot of comments (The "Spec" for sure)

I can't say that I would do orange, but you did a good job on the pieces.

I think sliver door inserts would look cool or something orange on the outside to tie it all together. My $.02

Don't worry about the tC badge on the front, I saw a tC with it done behind me on I-495 the other day.

Man you guys are brutal...so what if he has a spec sticker.....i've seen much worse.
If everyone on this planet liked the same thing it would a pretty dang boring place, and his favorite color is orange, to each his/her own. I think he's done a good job with what he has to work with.
