Well its been about a month since I took the tC home, what do you think??

Bone stock!


DIY Grill- 2nd day haha


Tein S-techs


Feint Lighting LED tails =P blackhoused+ LED retro!


White gauges + HVAC (fun little overnighter)


IS300 fogs


S2k projector+S2k hid+amber eyelids (blinkers)+white/red eyelids+parking lights(leds in projectors) + convert stock blinkers to fake "DRL"


Racing Solutions CF Hood!!


As it is tonite...



I didn't list the "front lip" because its not a real mod. Its garden liner double-sided taped to my bumper which I'm having all my friends sign. Just for fun till I get a real lip kit.

Other fun mods:
red calipers
LED map lights and such
s2k antenna
black rear emblem =/
gutted intake
DIY ground wire kit

 

How'd you do the gauge conversion? I'm wanting to do this

 

awsome!very nice work,how hard was that s2k retro?

 

wow, your gonna go with a lip on the front?
im on stechs without a lip and the bumper scrapes everywhere!! and very nice everything else!!

 

very nice, i hope ur gauges aren't really that bright!

 

did you do the retro yourself?

 

I like the IS300 fogs...where did you get them?

 

i second that, i hate the oem fogs

 

Here is the IS300 fogs

 

very nice work man. coming along great

 

looks good, its came a long way

 

Nice car, I have alway wanted a tC, having a kid changed that I my wife and I went with a box. Scions all around are great but the tC is the best auto buy out there in its class.

 

Thanks for the comments guys!

The S2k retro took me probably 18 hours from getting the headlights off to putting them back on. This also included a bunch of wiring and LED work I did for them though. It was my first time doing a projector retrofit.


And yes I'm def. getting a front lip, IMO with the lip its almost perfect height. I don't really have a problem scraping right now at all, just have to drive it like a dropped car.

 

can you post a close up on the front lip please!

 

Yeah I'll get some today, but its nothing special hahaha

 

Did you setup your stock blinkers to stay on like driving lights?

If, so how did you do that? I always wanted to have the stock blinkers stay on all the time. Please advise, and if possible include a quick DIY.

Also, nice work!

 

the more I look at the IS300 fogs, the more that i like them.

What kind of wiring is involved? Connect to battery, run a relay, run a switch, and voila?!

 

I simply cut the wiring to my stock blinkers and wired it to a switch in my dash, with a relay tied to the ignition so I have the option to turn it on/off, but it always turns off when the car is off. I didn't need my stock blinkers anymore so I could do this. If you want to keep stock blinker function but make it light up as well, you just need a regular relay and a switch.


The fog wiring is pretty simple, exactly as you said, battery/relay/switch. Relay is tapped to the ignition so it turns off with the car. The tedious part is running the wire so it looks OEM.

Here are pics of the ghetto silly front lip:

 

heres a quick pic showing the headlight functions =D

 

niec

im really feelin those fogs, where did u get them?
