ScionTcGirl562 02-04-2005, 06:59 AM thanks guys.. i'll post some more pics tomorrow when i get to work!! ya i hear ya.. it would look nice with a FMIC but i dont wanna just put a fake one in... i hate that lol maybe down the line i'll get the greddy turbo... but they are already making another kit for me..so i might not need the FMIC :)
aireck 02-04-2005, 07:01 AM who's making your kit ...? Henry at importtrenz??
is that one they made??
English 02-04-2005, 07:13 AM like it but there's just something about the back bumpers sides that I don't like, they almost extend too much straight down?
ScionTcGirl562 02-04-2005, 07:26 AM like it but there's just something about the back bumpers sides that I don't like, they almost extend too much straight down?
lol u know what... i thought the same thing.. cuz one of the guys at work had taken pics of my car when it was finished then showed them to me on his camera and i hadnt even gone outside to actually see the car yet and i was like eww i dont like the rear.. but the pics dont do it justice... it looks sooooooo awesome.. it doesnt look as big and awkward in person as it did in that pic.. i really dig the rear actually... i'm gonna take better pics tomorrow cuz it was already dark when it was installed :) thanks for the input everyone!!

Mr_Rabbit 02-05-2005, 02:13 PM I like the kit and I think the rear looks good.
ScionTCTrav 02-05-2005, 02:33 PM Looks awesome..U need to paint it , But wait isnt it Carbon Fiber??
Very nice. Personally I like the big mouth but i guess thats just me. Carn't really see the back or the sides though. But it looks good.
ScionTCTrav- That doesnt look CF to me. I think your thinking of that carbon fiber wide body kit some one was showing on here.
tChick 02-05-2005, 04:37 PM Looks good girl...I saw those pix on ebay...;)
TeamMightyMiniz 02-06-2005, 01:09 AM am I misreading this, does the front bumper really weigh 45 POUNDS ???!!!! that's a lot of weight up front... on a heavy fwd car like our tC.
lriicelboy 02-06-2005, 01:38 AM hmm.. maybe when i get my car fixed from my accident.. maybe i'll go aftermarket instead of OEM
BigKid 02-06-2005, 01:59 AM Whats the kit run and how many pieces? Looks good!
ooopsij 02-06-2005, 04:45 AM nice, so you are going with the gold and black theme?
i hate graphic vinyls on the car but this one is actually really hot
smash 02-06-2005, 06:03 AM nice, so you are going with the gold and black theme?
i hate graphic vinyls on the car but this one is actually really hot
sorry.. really not feeling the gold stars and velvet revolver icon on the hood.. but other than that it looks really nice. diggin your rims, too.
its_ikon 02-06-2005, 04:19 PM it looks ok. i like the design, but i think it hangs too low for the tC.
Fujiz_xb 02-06-2005, 08:53 PM droooooll
SuperMario6582 02-06-2005, 09:50 PM Yeah it's pretty sweet. That kit...its incredible...its awesome.

You go girl!
the front bumper looks exactly the same as the kreative one, except for the upper side mouths. rite?
Somnambulated 02-11-2005, 10:18 AM Kit looks great... You've got an Audi thing goin on there.
Very nice.
What's up with the whiners in this thread? The gold girl on the hood isn't exactly to my taste, but your car still looks great!
Now get it painted, go out and turn some heads!
HeartBreaker 02-11-2005, 10:15 PM Looks good on your tC Gina. Anxious to see how it looks when you have it all painted.

I agree completely. You had a perfectly good car, now its just another civic looking ricer.
Sorry to be rude, but you asked for opinions, and I tell em like I see em.
DarkBoxJr 02-14-2005, 03:39 AM The front is nice, not really digging the back. Tell the paint shop to paint the entire car when they go at the bodykit.
Somnambulated 02-14-2005, 05:54 AM To much chicken wire
Drywall mesh. All kit grilles are the equivalent of drywall mesh.
If you want to see 400.00 drywall mesh, go to www.grillcraft.com
Kit still looks nice. Everyone stop whining. :blah:
ScionTcGirl562 02-15-2005, 11:23 PM just got some 19's on the tC... fills up the tire well better but damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn my car is still too low... here are a few pics of the NOW pic... and yes i agree too much mesh but its only temp... i'm workin on a lil somethin ;) kit will be painted this week if the weather permits :pray: and some new graphics... still keepin the star theme (haters lol) but its my car so :P haa anyways.. keep the inputs coming in.. i like suggestions and constructive critisism :eyebrow: here are the pics

lol man that tc looks AWESOME :clap: :clap: GJ
tCtunerZ 02-16-2005, 12:23 AM :no: Leave it as is , maybe paint mesh black and put something nice, big and chrome in there! :bow: :bow:
bubblemyster 02-16-2005, 12:44 AM looks slick. But the mesh silver stuff beneath the grill reminds me of all the civics running around in bakersfield. Maybe you can add something else to it? (Fog light, stickers, etc.) Just my opinion.
ScionTcGirl562 02-16-2005, 12:50 AM YA I WAS ACTUALLY GOING TO ADD MY STOCK FOGS TO THE BUMPER... NOT SURE IF I'M GONNA DO IT TO THE TOP PORTION OR BOTTOM... HELP?!!
KYBoy 02-16-2005, 05:59 AM i would say bottom.
do you have any more pics of the back?
Mr_Meaty 02-23-2005, 10:24 PM How wide are you tires? I love that kit, and want to get it, but I dont' want to go larger then 18x7.5 or 18x8 rims. That's why I'm not getting the widebody.
TJCCARDCO 02-24-2005, 09:54 PM Whats with all the god damn stars?
But the body kit is nice...
2tone_xB 03-02-2005, 03:42 PM Looking good, looking good.

aireck 03-03-2005, 11:25 AM i like the one she is sporting compared to this white one.....
TougetC 03-03-2005, 12:00 PM hey girl it looks like someone kicked in your front lower grill. is it supposed to look like dat?? whoever did that needs to be fired!! other than that, im hi-fiving my monitor right now hunny!!
Mr_Meaty 03-03-2005, 01:50 PM That white one looks like the front sides are sticking out way too much. I don't like it anymore.
dmikon 03-03-2005, 05:06 PM What's with the huge pedestal thing at the bottom of the front bumper? Looks like you could easily stand on it.
I dunno, it looks alright, but I think it's a bit overdone. :eyebrow:
English 03-03-2005, 05:13 PM just like everything else from tctunerz
ScionTcGirl562 03-03-2005, 09:17 PM the white one isnt mine... and it doesnt have the side skirts on so it makes it look kinda unproportioned.. the kit is awesome and its painted!! I'll be showing at HIN this saturday so i'll have pics from there :)

elzy0000 03-09-2005, 02:01 AM damn Gina... its looking good. nice wheel choice too :P
VIP_tC 03-09-2005, 02:14 AM looks good, I think bronze wheels would have also looked real sweet with your bronze stars. Its kinda hard to see the lines of the body kit in black though. Looks good.
scionman05 03-09-2005, 02:32 AM Is it me or does the kit look like its another color than the car itself...? Definatly look a lot shinier..
But other than that. Car is looking good tho. Keep up the work. The gold stars are actually appealin on the car with the color and rims. Looks good.
Please post up some daylight pics outside to help us drool a lil better =)
blue_ink_tc 03-09-2005, 03:22 AM actually ur right ^^^^^^^^^ that is some pretty crappy ___ color matching!!!
English 03-09-2005, 04:03 AM ^^ what he said! Time for a new exhaust too, duals perhaps? Oh yeah bronze wheels woulda been tite too

umm, guys i think she's got a carbon fiber hood and hatch. that would explain the off color of those, but i do see some differences in the fender color. maybe they ran out of turtle wax before they got to the fender..?? :eyebrow:
smash 03-09-2005, 07:58 PM actually ur right ^^^^^^^^^ that is some pretty crappy ___ color matching!!!
agree 100%... did you have a colorblind paint specialist do that?! hopefully that's not the finished product... :pray:
ScionTcGirl562 03-09-2005, 09:01 PM the color is matched fine.. its actually factory pack paint.. but it hasnt been color sanded or buffed out because it was done way too close to the day of the show and the weather had been pretty crappy the days following it getting painted... and yes it is a cf hatch and cf hood!! remember guys it was at a car show, hot import NIGHTS... the lighting isnt that great.. if u see the car in person it matches fine... the light reflects differently on the fenders then the kit because of the angles.. so i didnt have a "colorblind paint specialist" (given the fact that a paint machine actually mixes the paint FYI smash... dont know how its done in VA). I'll post some pics of it during the day... so its not a finished product yet still gotta color sand and buff it out!! :)
tCholleration 03-09-2005, 09:12 PM why did you change the rims??
http://www.onlineshowoff.com/media/photos/o_13033.jpg
ScionTcGirl562 03-09-2005, 10:33 PM i'll be gettin the reverbs back... but in 18's... the 19's are cool but dont care too much for the rubbing when i go over bumps... plus i like the goldies better ;)
flintTC324 03-09-2005, 11:17 PM Hey Gina,
Good pics, personally I like the new rims even though they dont match, they still look good with the Carbon Hood and Hatch. And before they said anything about the color, they should have asked if you were running certain CF parts, i.e. Hood and Hatch. Keep up the good work, we know your car is a work in progress.
PS. Im gonna jack your pics for our site, lol.
lvnurs9 03-09-2005, 11:53 PM I agree with the color difference. I guess it wouldnt look too terrible but the CF throws in another color so ya....
Nice car though. I give you all the props!
And put the "goldies" back on lol
scionman05 03-10-2005, 12:58 AM The hood and hatch have nuthin to do with the color beeing different from the fender, door, and rear quarter!!!!Clearly you can see its a c/b hood and hatch. I already knew that just by lookin at it.
And also if you think that wetsanding and buffing it, is gonna make it look like a different color. I think.. in FACT.. I know thats not possible. The only thing your gonna do when its wetsanded and buffed is your gonna remove the orange peel in the paint ( which all paint has till wetsanded and buffed no matter how good you are. You always get a little) And it looks like the rest of the car should be wetsanded and buffed to get the swirl marks out from washing it.. ( the worst on dark cars) That will help tone in the colors a little better. Because the paint is fresh and prolly hasnt been washed yet or many times. Meaning there are not erally any swirl marks yet which will make it look like its a lot shinier than the rest of the car. That could be what we are MISTAKING it for. But im not sure. From the picture it def. looks a lot darker
But overall. Still looks hot and im not talkin crap. I was voicing my opinion. Just keep up the good work.
And as far as the angle stuff goes.. Where the fender meets the front bumper. They are the same angle. Therefore would make it the same color as the bumper. Which would in turn. fade the color as it got farther from the bumper, Since the lines change as is goes to the rear of the car. And that would be the same as for the rear bumper. EX: Take anything shiny that is breakable. Break it into 2 pieces. Then hold the 2 pieces like its not broke. The color wont be the same. And the angle will be the same.. Just like the bumper meeting the fender/ or rear quarter panel.
smash 03-10-2005, 01:44 PM the color is matched fine.. its actually factory pack paint.. but it hasnt been color sanded or buffed out because it was done way too close to the day of the show and the weather had been pretty crappy the days following it getting painted... and yes it is a cf hatch and cf hood!! remember guys it was at a car show, hot import NIGHTS... the lighting isnt that great.. if u see the car in person it matches fine... the light reflects differently on the fenders then the kit because of the angles.. so i didnt have a "colorblind paint specialist" (given the fact that a paint machine actually mixes the paint FYI smash... dont know how its done in VA). I'll post some pics of it during the day... so its not a finished product yet still gotta color sand and buff it out!! :)
that's great.. it could still be a different shade of black is all i'm sayin.
ScionTcGirl562 03-10-2005, 05:33 PM well heres a pic taken in the daylight... looks like it matches to me on here.

Fixtion 03-10-2005, 05:45 PM The kit screams intercooler! Turbo the bia. :P
dmikon 03-10-2005, 05:49 PM I think it would look 400% better if that lower portion of the front lip would be removed. (The one that sticks out at the very bottom...)
fastandcurious 03-10-2005, 05:58 PM I think it would look 400% better if that lower portion of the front lip would be removed. (The one that sticks out at the very bottom...)
hell yeah, that sucka looks like a snow plow! much better without it
ScionTcGirl562 03-10-2005, 06:26 PM well i never have to worry about going through some snow :)
flintTC324 03-10-2005, 06:27 PM I could be mistaken but I would guess the bottom portion of the bumper that protrudes forward is supposed to act as an air splitter. They just built it in. Personally I like it, I think it looks better than the ones that get added on with the rods. H&R has one on their TC, and I like this one better. It would look even better and not stand out so much if Canards were added, giving it an overall JGTC / Race look. Just IMO.
fastandcurious 03-10-2005, 06:44 PM I could be mistaken but I would guess the bottom portion of the bumper that protrudes forward is supposed to act as an air splitter.
yeah, but come one. this isn't Nascar where you need to get that front bumper as low to the ground as possible to give you an edge when you're doing 200mph. that lip will get torn up in everyday driving. can that thing even go over a speed bump?
flintTC324 03-10-2005, 06:59 PM did you say Nascar? LOL. Of course the car will never see speeds anywhere near 200 mph, but its just about style. Realistically how many aerodynamic parts on daily driven cars actually help? My guess is VERY few. Unless you are talking about a Bomex air scoop for an MR2, or a properly designed bumper that will allow more air to hit the Intercooler / Brakes / CAI, then we know most parts people run on any type of Import are for show. Besides that particular front is Urethane, and it will not get tore up, plus she has stated multiple times that her car is too low and she is going to raise it up. For the record I have the same bumper on my car, only in Carbon, which WILL crack if I am not careful but I drive all over the place and hav yet to scrape over anything. Of course, just to be safe I am putting the FRP version on this weekend for daily, but I dont plan on messing that one up either.
boostinmr2 03-12-2005, 05:49 AM Really, if you think these bumpers give a difference on REAL difference on the street, you're really dreaming. I Drive 160mph on a regular basis and ONLY at 140+ do these bumpers really make a difference. Let me tell you, you really do need downforce at over 140 cuz my car feels like it's going to lift off and fly. So Yes, if your Scion goes over 140, then definately get a kit. If you want an awesome looking car, definately get the kit anyhow!
-H
itimebomb 03-12-2005, 04:19 PM car looks good i think. i actually like the star touch, its interesting (and yes i like girls all you haterz). haha. when you put the gold rims back on are you going to space the back ones to be flush with the body? that's really the only thing i think the car needs (other than f/i for the gap in the front).
nice work
scionman05 03-12-2005, 10:23 PM I think it would look 400% better if that lower portion of the front lip would be removed. (The one that sticks out at the very bottom...)
Agreed!!.
Looks good outside. A different angle tho. But. still love the kit. Cars looks good.
