Well hey man, next time we have a meet you should come down. There's also a Scikotics chapter up in your area as well, but I don't have any contact info for them.

You can email midlandscikotics@gmail.com for that info, or if you want to meet up with us!

Not sure how to post bigger pics. Only attachments. But this is all I have for now. When I get my coil overs and HIDs on, I'll try to get some better pics.

Nice man, I like that you left the center caps unpainted, it adds a nice contrast.

Coilovers were the single best mod I ever did. I <3 them!

Well, I guess you'll still be getting attachments then. LoL So what all mods have you guys done? I've got the coil overs that will be here Friday, the HIDs will be here next week sometime. I painted my stock rims black, windows are already tinted. What do you guys think about the pedestal spoilers on the tC?

Ok you go to photobucket and find the picture you want. Under it should say a couple things and you wanna click Direct Link. Then come over to ScionLife and hit the little picture icon next to the link icon under the quick reply. Paste the Direct Link into the pop up that comes up and it should post show something like this

Ok. Got it. Finally. Thanks man.
Also, are the LED license plate bulbs worth it. I was checking those out. And also brighter reverse lights.

NICE!

The LEDs are kinda worth it. It looks better than stock yellowish lights. Mine are $3 ones off ebay that are dull, but cool blue. I don't want bright so people can't be spotting my plate somewhere. If you want bright LEDs though go to MENG Motorsports (I think that's the name), they have some bright LEDs in lots of colors.

In my personal experience, LEDs are reverse lights are never as bright and bulbs... they look cleaner, but I haven't found any that are brighter than stock bulbs. (And I need bright since my back window is 3% LOL). If you find some that are super bright let me know!

I saw one guy on here somewhere that had HID projectors in his reverse lights. It's some kind of like swap or something, but I think the problem with them, from what it looked like was that they're directional and don't cover a very wide range, but I don't know.

Yeah, I'd love to have lights that bright, but it's too much modding for me...

Btw how did you paint your rims?

Mine aren't really that blue, they are more a cool white, but still dull compared to Paule's.

I'm not sure about rims. I think it was some kind of plastidip paint from like auto zone. LoL My brother does all the work for me. He's a car person. I like to make it look good, and he knows how to get it done. And idk if I like the brighter ones or your dull ones. But you're right, they do look better than the stock ones.

Like I said, dull keeps your car looking dark from far away (plus harder to see your plate number), bright turns heads (I guess LOL, turns mine)
