nice mods, love the hood and grill. whered you get the hood?

pretty clean. I like the fog lights with the mesh.

what grill is that? looks like the grillcraft grill

Got the hood from a dealer here in town. Have no idea what brand it is. The grill was home grown....gutter guard.

:bow:

the grille looks really good concidering its a gutter gaurd grille. good job :bow:

very nice girll. so how did you make it out of gutter guard? (besides cutting it. what did you attach it to(the top and bottom grill)?

good job man!

very nice girll. so how did you make it out of gutter guard? (besides cutting it. what did you attach it to(the top and bottom grill)?

The bottom was easy. Just pulled the plastic grill out and wrapped it. The top one was a little more involved. Took me about a day. Lots of prefab and cutting to make sure I cleared all the plastic pop outs. I had to dremel the logo out to make it flat and went from there. The key was patience.

how does the bottom one look upclose and personal wrapped with the original grill?

that's the nicest home depot style grill i've seen yet. good job.

nice hood.

very nice. any more pics?

very nice. any more pics?

I am at work right now, :lalala: so tomorrow I can post some close up shots of the grill.

feel free to post more of the whole car as well

Ok, here are some more pics. Face lift for the outside and a little lipo for the inside.

Very nice job on the grill. Overall good job on your tc.

Ok, this might sound dumb but what did you use to color your interior?
And how did you install the grill? I did mine and i get this bulge due to the scion sign area place......and makes my grill mesh thing stick out and almost comes off at the top.


thanks and your car looks hella hot~

looks very nice

Thanks! The paint was done by a guy in our group. It is auto paint and then he cleared it. I went with Viper GT pearl blue. I had the same paint color on my truck and liked it so much I thought I would do the tC also.

The grill was a drag. Took me a couple of days. Lots of prefab and cutting. I made 2 or 3 layouts of the grill before I did the insert. You have to dremel out the logo so the grill is flat. Once that is done it is just a matter of fitting and refitting the grill until it sits right. The bottum one was easy. All I did was wrap the stock black grill and mounted it back in place. If you have any other questions you can PM me.

Good luck.

I love the way the waterfall is painted that blue, thats hot! and the engine bay looks really good. keep it up.

hello! its been a while since i posted here. but i like your car so much ive decided to. like i said, you got a sweet ride but there's just one thing off for me. its the chrome ring around your grill.

now for quite a while now people have doing their grills over and i used to love the look but it never quite looked right on the tc to me. i just found out why! its the chrome ring, it needs to be painted. Either black but probably to match the paint.

I think if you do that itll look 1000x better.

well, thats obviously exagerated but, here's my logic behind it. the chrome on chrome clashes, also if you look at something (say the altezza) it has a mesh grill, yea the mesh is black but its clean looking because the ring around it matches the color of the car. i dont know if my facts are straight or anything. ive been jetlagged and havent had sleep in 24 hours so im not all here.

Good call. You know I never thought of that. If I knew I could take it all apart without screwing up the way it looks I might do that. I will have to check it out. Thanks for the input.

Now do us a favor.......get some sleep!!!! :rofl: :rofl:

what paint did you use to paint your engine cover? how is it holding up?

I beleive he used Sherwin-Williams Auto paint. Painted and cleared. It has been about 5 months in the Arizona heat and still looks as good as the day he did it. Ironically enough it came out to match my intake perfectly.
