Showoff pics, need opinions UPDATED PIX PG 2!
Just got my car out of the shop after having some work done to it, I want feedback. The pics were taken on with my razr, so theyre low quality. The wheels are brand new, as well as the rear bumper, toyota emblem, and painted tails. 25 mm spacers out back and a trd drop. I've got some rubbing in the rear, and have tire shavings being cut out by the fender, so I'll have to roll those. More pics can be taken if anyone wants to see the wheels in detail. Also...the interior has custom leather done, and the calipers are painted red with custom decals.
Gentleman, start your engines. Exhaust had to be relocated a few inches to accomodate the bumper, I fabricated some grills and painted them black to go into the holes in the bumper.
Custom toyota badge w/ carbon fiber look insert...got sick of the paint matched scion badge, and the scion brand is becoming more and more played out with all these futuristic, silly commercials designed to market the brand to teens, but instead just project a goofy, almost dorky image, so I decided to do something semi-unique.
Smoked the tails w/ vht niteshades. Probably 5 or 6 coats of niteshades, plus 3 thick coats of clear. Pitch black, very shiney...light output is minimized, but hott dang they look fierce.
This is pre tailight tinting, as you can see, contrary to what people thought the bumper lines up almost perfectly w/ the factory ground effects and appears very flush and factory in real life. From behind, the tc's friendly looks are now completely gone...it looks aggressive, especially with the black tailights.

I've got a wealth of other mods, cf eyebrows, smoked sidemarker and side mirror overlays, red interior leather, 20 percent tint, s2k antenna. It's all really flowing well, and the 2 tone paint on the rear bumper really sets it off. I'll get out tomorrow and take some more pics....wish i had a digital camera so the car didnt look so crummy.

Factory ground effects w/ m-power rear bumper. Expect this look to get copied alot now, I'm anticipating every guy with the ground effects to go out and scoop this rear bumper up...it's an almost perfect combo. Remember...you saw it here first.

Yeah it only comes in fiberglass. There is no wide open space in the back. The middle portion is painted gloss black, the two holes are filled in by black grilles. I'll get some closer pics later. Yeah the 25 mm spacers have caused some pretty bad rubbing, big shavings of rubber are being cut out of the tires, but the wheels sit perfectly flush. With the spacers pushing the wheels out, the TRD drop is almost perfect, about one and a half fingers fit into the wheelwell, if the drop were any lower, the fender would literally be sitting on the tire.
About the badges, I like em, I think it sets off the rear end. Plus I hate the clean shaven look on the rear...I think it makes the car look like a toy. Really I always thought the rear looks like a toy, which is why I felt I needed a new bumper to really make it more aggressive.
