Hmmm.... Myspace tC Guy.... Let me hear what YOU think..
I think the car needs to be painted very shiny black and have staggered 19's put on. Paint + iForged with black center and crome lip will make it all come together.
The guy comes across as a rainbow toolbox though.

^ Similiar to my thoughts.... I wrote him this...
I'll be contructive, but realistic...
The paint looks like it was from a spray can, the flat paint concept is good with the batmobile theme, but if it was professionally sprayed, I'd have them redo it... show wise, it'd get low marks.
I'd suggest a different wing, H&R has a great car with a really well matched CF wing for the tC... the straight wing just doesn't compliment the tC's lines...
I believe they also make spacers for the wheels, which bigger and spaced out wheels is manditory... and go with a bigger lip on the rear than the front, as it'll work with that kit better... the tails also should be sprayed flat, instead of the gloss appearance, whether it's an overlay or sprayed...
Turbonetics is a good choice for the Engine work... just find a local unichip shop, as it cannot be tuned by anyone like the kits from other guys... I'd suggest Looking at ZPI, Dezod, or Soundperformance as well... as all three of those get more HP out of the tC with their turbos... and are more easily tune-able
I'll say it again... I like the concept, as with my doors and extensive mods, I thought a "Bat" theme would be great... it's just the way it's done that needs work.
I hit shows almost every weekend and know the tC in and out, so don't think I'm trying to rip it apart... just trying to refine the idea and have it pan out a little better if you decide to show it. I've been in California at a few shows with my tC and you're around some insanely well setup rides, who blow me away... so you've got some intense competition.

this guy obviously doesnt have the money for paint let alone iforged rims, he probably duct taped that body kit to the car and painted everything primer to match.
that car is done for
First off, I'm not really a fan of the kit. I think its lines are way too agressive and don't match/enhance/compliment the original shape of the TC.
That being said, unless he intentionally meant to leave the flat black color on the car, I agree that he just needs a couple things to finish it out and bring it all together. Without touching any of the body mods, he would just need a "finished-looking" paint job. After that, a wider wheel and tire combo to fill out the flares and the car would be that much closer to becoming visually complete.
Still not my cup of tea, but a more visually appealing car. Just my .02 cents...Best of luck to that guy...
