Default What is your goal and what theme are you aiming for yout tC?

What goals do you guys have? What is the theme of your car?

Drag Car ?
Auto X ?
Take down Honda s? lol
Chick magnet? Cop Magnet?
Blow out windows and set off car alarms with ur massive subs???
Look like the Disney Electrical Parade with all them neons???
JDM everything even tho the tC don't exist in japan?

lol

Anyways my goal/theme is High Tech. I drive an auto so obviously i don't go too fast. - 20 to 30 handicap in horsepower and 4 gears vs 5 gears compared to the stick shift doesn't give me much motivation to mod the performance department so i thought I try to go with a high tech theme...

What this is is make the car look really sleek on the outside , and on the inside be filled with all kinds of gadgets.

My first step is installing a Car PC and a sound system. Add rear and front cam and a web cam so i can do live web broadcasting or video chatting in the car once t-mobile gets 3G service.

and from there add some machine guns, rockets, oil slicks and active camo and give my carputer a sexy British voice like James Bond's Ashton Martin....


so basicly my goal is to make a 007 worthy Bond car lol...

I want my car to be high tech, but very clean. More of a night car than a day car, but can hold it's own in the day. Like you, I drive an auto, so the racing factor isn't really there, though I do like to drive fast and plan on making some more power.

If there is anything in the performance section that I am really focused on, it's handling. I am all about the curvy roads, and taking them as fast as possible.

Oh yeah, and to set off car alarms and shake blinds when I drive by. :D

Well, I go to the drag strip when I have a chance, I autocross every month, I have a hot wife already, the system flexes body panels and the car looks decent.

i am trying to do it all.

When I started designing my car and figuring out what I wanted to add, I wanted to keep it as universally likeable as possible. Meaning - I want it to appeal to everyone. I want girls to look at it and go, "That's hot!" and for guys to look at it and go, "Damn, I would drive that!" I want hot-rodders to look at it and go, "You know, I'm not really into imports, but that thing is pretty awesome." Ya know?

As for themes, it doesnt really have a prominant "theme" other than the star accents I have added along the side skirts and on the backs of the seats. I love stars and have two star tattoos on the back of each thigh - so it will be fun to see if people put two and two together this summer when I wear a skirt to the shows. ;)

I don't know that I have a theme. I'm just making it up as I go along and I'll know it's finished when it's finished.

The journey not the destination...so to speak.

I'm going for class. Sport seats with full leather interior, Tein SSP's with EDFC, nice multi spoke wheels, good SQ audio system, mild window tint(40%-35%), 200 hp (cold air, nice exhaust, maybe supercharged). And a clear bra to protect the paint.

I just want it to look classy and not like I was struggling to achieve some unreachable goal. I don't want anything to look out of place, to look as if it had taken years to complete.

Bling bling!

chrome on everything outside. Gold trim on the inside. Ice all over the rims and interior. Burbury and leather fabric. Dubs with spinners.


Just kidding

Keep it sleeper - No need for the police to be following me around all day. I have enough anxiety as it is.

same here! Driving pleasure! I'm not big on ICE (stock is fine for me), not into "show" stuff. But I have a few more goals: to have my tC handle and respond like my previous 2 cars..... they were both Hondas.

Driving pleasure all the way. I use the car for everything so its got to be nice to drive in. Clean, Comfortable, Stylish, and performs well. But there's no problem with putting some nice upgrades in it!

I never really had a theme for mine. I just did things that appealed to me. But if i had a couple of choices do to experience with this car, i would have to say that it is a cop magnet and everyone tells me that "it's just so clean."

a grand touring car. not entirely dedicated to speed nor luxury, but not lacking in either catagory either. keep it clean and classy but also add my unique styling touches.

i was thinking about declaring it an rs zero since it is an 05 tc, which is the first model year released, and because silver streak mica tc's were made only for a year. so it would be like prototype pre-production concept model for which the tc's were based on. also, it just sounds cool to me, but alot of people made fun of me and i cry. i'm afraid that if i do it now, i'll get spotted and end up in the ricers and taters thread. for trying to bring my semi-original theme to fruition.

Right now I havnt done anything to mine(bought it a couple of weeks ago), but hopefully in the next couple of years I want to upgrade the suspension, brakes, some interior lighting (might just buy the stock l.e.ds), new sound system, spoiler, rims (might be my first purchase), new intake, new exhaust, and way down the line maybe a supercharger.

I drive an auto also (wanted manual but parents wouldnt allow it) but I still like to drive fast. I guess I want it to be kind of a show-car, but still be good on a daily drive basis.

The theme I want to achieve with my tc is to eventually get it painted a different color, possibly a deep blue, and then have blue l.e.d.s on the inside with some black.
