When you see a bone stock TC, do you say: "Damn, that needs some mods", or "Damn, that is clean?"

I say both, but more with the mods thing cuz mine is stock but I have just ordered a cai. I think the body is fine. I have the factory ground effects and the 18s. It still looks clean. The only thing I might do to my body is add the kaminari wing. But I think it is clean the way it is.

I think it all depends on what's inside, not just the interior. There are a couple of sleeper tC's around town here that will blow the doors of almost anything. I think body should be kept clean, but some kits look good.....just not for me. Usually the only thing I think when I see a bone dry tC is it needs springs. Makes a huge difference on the look, just too much wheel gap for me

I'm with koolaid, stock tC's aren't all that bad, they just need a drop. maybe some tint if i feel picky that day.

First, to see if they are stock, so I don't feel bad. Then, I look to see if the driver is under 40. No offense, just so many 'older' people driving them in Maryland...

MD? You should see it here in the land of the SuperSilvs(old people). We have so many older people driving tCs and xbs because they are cheap and get decent gas mileage. You waive at them and they give you a look like you are going to shoot them or something.

Yeah like KoolAid said... I think the TC definitely needs springs. I can fit my whole fist into the wheel well... 4 fingers of space (fat fingers also) is just too much. Thats why I am getting springs installed next week

Other than that it doesn't need anything really.

What I look for when I see another TC.... just like Quantice... is she hot? ;)

The age variance is strange. In the twin cities, almost every tC driver I see looks to be between 20 - 35, while EVERY xB driver I have ever seen here has grey hair... I take that back, I see a blonde girl that looks to be in her 20s driving one near where I live.. but for some reason that is the only one. I see a million xB's here, and they are all either NAPA delivery trucks or old people (50s and 60s). Strange

I had mine a week before I put my TEIN's on it. The first thing I wanted to do, now a new grill and some interior mods. Overall though, the body looks great clean like it is. Maybe a simple lip kit, no spoiler for me and some vinyl....nothing crazy
