i just purchased an 06 nautuical blue tc, and i got the pedestal spoiler and billet grille so far and was thinking of maybe putting some body graphics on the sides. im not sure what color would go good with the blue though. any suggestions?

silver metallic is going to look perfect

silver metallic is going to look perfect

i 2nd that.

or a lighter shade of blue.. makes it look ghost

i swear if you put stickers on the car (stock no less) I'll find you, why is it people have an itch to disgrace these cars and end up making a ____ty stereotype for enthusiasts as ricers.

^ A little brutal for my taste.....

But... I do agree that vinyl graphics on the side of any street car is a little overdone and now not the best way to go.... The worst I've seen is the samarai graphic in the tC commercial... makes me cringe everytime....

Subtle........Subtle........

hey hey now, getting alittle mean there lol. thanx for the input though, maybe that is why i haven't seen any TC's with vinyls, i just thought it would be unique on a TC not overdone but like some silver metalic tribal on the sides but yeah keep the opinions comin...

try pin striping strep with some design thats pretty cool

I say as long as you keep the graphics simple, you won't ruin the car. Now if you throw some sticker up there with some "overlord" lookin dude with his sword showing what direction your car points, then you've got a problem

actually i am thinking of keepin it simple like this...

maybe not that particular one, but something similar to that, just in maybe metallic silver or white...

I have big adidas leaves on the sides of my car in metallic silver with the 3 stripes above the side skirts. I think it looks good and thats why I did it. And I don't even eat rice!

Do you have pictures? I am interested to see

LMAO. Sorry, but I agree - not necessarily with the hunting part, but I know that was tongue-in-cheek :rofl:

This is before I tinted the windows, put on my rims, H-techs, exhaust and black billet grill.
It actually looks better in person. You really can't see the scribble design that well in this photo, but whatever.

^ Can you take an updated pic?

I've seen worse. Unless someone is paying me to put that stuff on, it will never happen - and even then, no.

As far as tis stuff goes tho, this is not too bad.

Scott

not bad at all...........so quit hating. Nobody's paying any regular people to where the shoes, but ya do it anyway. But whatever I'm just mad in general.............. and uh nice car!

Not Hating.... But what does Adidas and tC have to do with each other?

it's not "Ricey", but I really don't feel it at all... seems too out of place for the car...

Go with Subtlety in vinyl and keep the look with the lines of the car... and it should look nice, but keep it with the car... our tC has nice lines... try not to detract from them with something over the top.

something like this?

do whatever you want. i personally think graphics make the car look cheap.

Wearing shoes and tatting my car are TWO different things.
I wasn't hating - gave my opinion.
Anyone posting pix here is going to get opinions.
Not being hateful.
My 2¢
Take it for what you paid for it... :blah:

Scott

yeah im a little confused with the adidas logo too

Are you a big soccer player sponsored by Adidas?

It's like this. Basically all I wear is adidas, I even have an adidas tattoo.
I'm not sponsored like they give me money sponsored, but more like the adidas
stores in my area give me free gear (and there is like 4 of them). I'm trying to get a
corporate sponsorship so I can do the interior up with adidas, but that is hard to get.

I don't mind people not liking it or stating there opinion, so feel free. I actually was
not going to put any pictures of my car on here until I was able to take a new one with
my other parts on it. None the less...
It's my personnel expression, like people putting a window sticker of their favorite
football team or band on their car. Or someone who puts a scion life sticker on their
car. Did scion life pay you to do that? But wait, it does have something to do with the
car (it is a scion after all). So on that note how can we get mad a ricers who put mod
stickers on there car? Does that not have something to do with their car? Actually I
don't consider graphics as ricer as a grapefruit shooter exhaust or NOS in a 4 cylinder.

By the way I'm speaking in general and not directing this at anyone. I could go on
and on, but who really cares?

Wow, an Adidas tattoo? Crazy. I used to like it when people shaved Nike swooshes on the back of their head. Free advertising. I think I'll just stick to leaving the "mushroom stamp" on the ladies.

looks cool (remember scion is all about personaliZation)

NOS? Glad I don't use that BRAND of nitrous system...

:rofl:

One of my biggest pet peeves.... Referring to N2O systems as "NOS".

They also work insanely well in 4 cylinder applications... and are perfect for show/street cars... as they maintain daily drivability and ease with stock power, but bring needed power to the strip to run a good 1/4 mile as well.

It's all a mix....

gotta love the adidas good year shoes. they are comfortable. hey what's wrong with NOS? N2O doesn't even mean anything. it's all about the NOS!!!!!! :P :P

One of my biggest pet peeves.... Girls who fart!

I realize "N20" works well in 4 bangers but so does a grapefuit shooter for an exhaust.

:tap:

No they don't... they're too loud and most tracks won't let you run if you go over as certain DBL. They only work for the cheap-modded guys on the street to irk out a few more HP than stock. And still don't work as well as a full header/spipe and custom exhaust setup....

I'd agree that some of the cheaper mods are not appealing at all, and are quite annoying... but generalizations are a dime a dozen in the world of tuning and really cheesy here on SL.

you have to tell that to the people who don't live in california

California is the Anti-Tuning capital of the world... I went down there for ScionNight II and everyone was looking at my engine at was like "Wow" cause they can't do any of it legally down there... up here, all the show/track orientated cars have good engine setups....

CARB is EVIL

I agree. That is why I have been waiting on doing my header and s-pipe. I think I'm just going to say F-it and then put my stock setup back on in 5 years when I have to smog it
