View Full Version : Newbie Here with Some Questions
AbsoluteRedtC 06-11-2006, 12:53 AM Hey Guys
My name is Curtis, and I'm new to this site. I've had my tC for about a year now, but I never really got around to becoming a member.
Anyways, on to business...does anybody know anything about those halo headlights that are available on eBay? (Whether or not they are reliable or worth the money)
Also, when is anybody going to meet at Sonic on Federal again?
AbsoluteRedtC 06-11-2006, 01:14 AM I'll be getting some pictures up as soon as possible.
chipperxb 06-11-2006, 02:02 AM Howdy Curtis,
Welcome to Scionlife, I do not know much about the lights on Ebay, I have PIAA Super Whites in my xB and I really like them, but others may not. I hope you can attend the Scion VIP event tomorrow at Bandimere Speedway. It starts around 9:00 am when the gates open. Also if you get a chance check out our web site www.scionfusion.com or stop by one of our events listed on our calendar. Once again WELCOME to the SCION Family!!
Hope to see you at an event soon.
OldYeller 06-11-2006, 02:38 AM I would buy lights from a reliable party--have seen a lot of posts about slip shod lights that fog up--etc.
cherryBox 06-12-2006, 02:09 AM iceCold, a scionlife member here in denver, just had them done, locally i believe, and they look GREAT.
djhax 06-12-2006, 12:15 PM Hey what's up curtis! You still havnt let me hear the tc since you got your exhaust done
chipzxb 06-12-2006, 12:57 PM Curtis, Welcome! Good to see another tc owner on here... Was hopeing to get up to one of the sonic fridays here soon.. Ask Icecold about those lights like Cherry said.. You should come by the MC's Pizza one saturday and hang out with us. Maybe meet up with Hax and some down together..
schwettynuts 06-12-2006, 02:24 PM I think you shouldnt buy it. The cut off of the light on the left is really high so you will blind people all the time. Cannot really be adjusted. Just wait a few more months, more company will come up with new ones. Look at this thread.

AbsoluteRedtC 06-12-2006, 03:28 PM Thanks for your feedback everyone. I probably will wait a little while on the lights. I might just tint my windows instead.
Joe, I'm going to be getting a CAI on my car soon, so I was just going to show you when I got that put on, unless you want to hear it before and after or something. Sorry I missed your call the other night, I didn't have my phone with me. But call me sometime this week if you want.
Also, where's MC's Pizza at?
chipzxb 06-12-2006, 03:32 PM Check out the MC's Pizza thread there is a map on there. It is pretty much at Bowles and Wadswoth..
schwettynuts 06-12-2006, 03:48 PM dammit curtis! another RS 1.0! I feel less special :P
AbsoluteRedtC 06-12-2006, 04:05 PM Sorry Schwettynuts, I just can't resist the sexy RS 1.0! :bow: :love:
AbsoluteRedtC 06-12-2006, 07:18 PM Me and my friends cruise down to Sonic on Federal usually. But when is ScinergyCO going to be there again?
chipzxb 06-12-2006, 07:19 PM We'll throw that up for topic of discussion this Saturday at MC's..
djhax 06-12-2006, 08:01 PM CAI eh? That's piimp man! Either way hit me up soon, maybe you can cruise down to MC's this sat with me
AbsoluteRedtC 06-12-2006, 08:05 PM What time you guys going down there?
djhax 06-12-2006, 09:25 PM We meet up at MC's around 7pm, I usually leave westy a little after 6.
AbsoluteRedtC 06-13-2006, 01:56 AM Crap, I don't think I can make it down to MC's for at least two weeks... :doh: Sorry guys...but if you end up meeting somewhere, just hit me up. I'm just busy the next two Saturdays.
Joe, I'll probably give you a call sometime tomorrow.
HP_Pirate 06-13-2006, 02:21 AM no one from down south has ever gone to sonic and to be honest i'm tired of trying to organize so if you guys want to go I'll let you set the date.
there's about 5 of us that go somewhat regularly and i've seen an rs1 tc before but never said nothin. if that was you cool and your more than welcome to hang out with us.
if you do plan an event up there let everyone know ahead of time and plan on showing up like 6:15-6:30 or your never gonna find somewhere to park. its a blast though.
I think frosty was talkin about checkin it out this friday which would be cool cause i'm going to honda school this week and have to drive 30miles in rush hour there and then back so I'm not going to mc's this week but i'll try to make some other time.
let me know, hax you live close and i'm still yet to see you up there? better start representin sinergy.
djhax 06-13-2006, 04:37 AM lol, i was there last friday, parked with schwetty and specialk....i was only there for like 20 min tho before I had to bounce
foxtrot685 06-13-2006, 05:03 AM anyone here in aurora near buckley air force base that i can meet up with to convoy to mc's with. cuz im retarded and i dont know where im going and i can assure you that i will end up on a half tank of gas because im lost (it has happened b4) lol
schwettynuts 06-13-2006, 02:25 PM map quest it lol..
AbsoluteRedtC 06-13-2006, 03:28 PM Anybody have any suggestions on who to go to for window tint?
CletusTC 06-13-2006, 03:44 PM Jazz it Up on Arapahoe and Peoria. Other end of town from you, but they do great work
AbsoluteRedtC 06-13-2006, 03:50 PM How much does it cost for the whole car? (if you know off hand)
schwettynuts 06-13-2006, 03:58 PM well I paid $150 for mine. I know nick knows a cheaper place to do it. The one i go to is on south federal. If you go south on federal from 6th, it will be on your left hand side. Very bright small yellow brick building. They are quick and do a good job.
AbsoluteRedtC 06-13-2006, 04:10 PM what's the name of the place?
schwettynuts 06-13-2006, 04:19 PM i cant remember but trust me youll find it. Only a few blocks south of 6th. Just go south from highway six to federal. Drive on the left lane and look for bright yellow building. Look very ghetto and look for a guy nicknamed "chino".
AbsoluteRedtC 06-13-2006, 04:21 PM Alright, thanks a lot man
chipzxb 06-13-2006, 06:42 PM My guy does it for $100 dollars and his does awsome work. Hax had his done there as well as some others.. PM'd
foxtrot685 06-13-2006, 10:23 PM think it would b cheaper for what i want done? i just want the back windows done, i dont want the driver or passenger windows done at all.
and jazz it up auto does great work. they did my racing stripes and the quality is great
cherryBox 06-14-2006, 06:46 AM yeah, nick's guy is great - offered to hook me up on a sunday...
I ended up going to see freddy at ABC tint on evans and monaco tho, he's always hooked me up...
as far as the lights, here's IceCold's lights:

I'm thinkin this photographer knew what he/she was shooting...
chipzxb 06-14-2006, 12:51 PM Like me check on that for ya fox.. it should be cheaper though..
schwettynuts 06-14-2006, 02:33 PM I can see elyce sexy toe lol. Yeah, i want to put fog lights like that.. who can help me? I dont know how to put a switch, fuse, and stuff. I heard you have to drill trough the firewall.
cherryBox 06-14-2006, 03:49 PM ^^re the fuse and switch stuff, I could help, as long as I can use your garage lol. There is a spot in every car where the wiring harness is grommeted thru the firewall, and that's usually the best place.
On my halos, I just wired them to the parking lights (easy)

schwettynuts 06-14-2006, 11:41 PM AEM? I didnt know you can buy one for tc.. is this the relabled TRD?
AbsoluteRedtC 06-15-2006, 02:51 PM From what I've heard, they are pretty much the same thing, except the TRD costs a hell of a lot more, and it only comes in one color.
AbsoluteRedtC 06-19-2006, 02:34 PM I should be getting my new AEM CAI in today! :P Hax, if you're not doin anything this afternoon or tomorrow morning, you wanna help me install it?
djhax 06-19-2006, 05:40 PM Sure bro...as long as I'm not at work or somethin
AbsoluteRedtC 06-19-2006, 05:43 PM I haven't got a call from them yet, but hopefully they'll be calling sometime soon today. Are you working tomorrow morning around...umm...nine or so?

AbsoluteRedtC 06-20-2006, 07:50 PM I finally got that AEM CAI installed :P ...had some problems :x , but all in all, it was worth it! It looks sweet, and sounds even better. :D I can't figure out how to post pictures yet, but if you look in my profile, there's a picture in there.
