i am truly torn between loving it and hatin it. the car itself looks alright, but two things...the kit and lambos were played out a while ago..there are so many people with that kit now, and even more with those doors. however it looks good on your car, and the wing compliments the kit really nice. but puttin a kit on a car is to make your car different, kinda to stand out, what makes your car diffferent from this one:

he has the same kit, and doors.

the rims on the other hand, they are very different, i do not think anyone has these and IMHO is because they arent the best looking. they dont really flow well with the car and they are too small for a "show" car. if i were to do my car up, which i prolly am this summer, i would follow this guy:



all in all, nice job on the car..cant hate

all and all someone will have something you have on your car. someone has something that looks good then someone else wants it, its a snowball effect. I think the car looks good but I have to agree with Da_Mac I think changing out the wheels would make it look alot better. Those rims dont fit that body kit IMO. You need something more aggressive looking.

just so everyone knows, i saw the wheels in person ,and i didnt like them either (neither did he at first) but after seeing them with the kit (and while moving ) the wheels really look good with the kit. its one of those things where you have to see it in person and pictures really dont do them justice, also they look bigger in person too.

Thanks everyone to your compliments and suggestions as well.

First off i'd like to point out everyone's main concern is my wheels.
You have to see them in person, i've tried taking many pictures and no matter what i do they don't look the same. The rim are 18x8" which is big enough for me, 19"s would look nice but they would rub with my Tein springs. I'm the only one who has these rims on the tC and IMO they make my car MINE. Everyone of my friends and or body shops have told me that the rims make the car even though at first you really have to look at them to get a feel. It's just something you'll have to see in person(shows, meets, etc.)

Others were saying that the style i did was old and overused, if you think about it, there isn't much of an option with aftermarket bodykits and parts, and IMO most of the other kits look bad on tC's, so i chose this one. Of course alot of people are going to have the same parts and styles on their cars but also realize mostly everynoe that has my exact car or close to it lives half a world away from me, so when i'm driving and turning heads, it doesn't matter to me(not sounding mean or anything...)

The doors are amazing, there was some rolling of the fenders and building up to make them fit flush which looks great as well. The pricing was awesome as well thanks to JTautostyle and a little negotiating with them.

The foglights i didn't have much option either, the diamter of the spaces in the front bumper are limited so i wanted something that would fit perfectly, PIAA HID foglights which have no gap in the spaces.

Other than that i guess that's it, i'll post some more pictures up tomorrow durin the day(when it's sunny and my car is clean!lol)

Thanks for the help Dave

i like the kit, but chrome rims arent doing it for you, try brushed or black rims with a silver or brushed lip.
