Default new 08 scion tc owner, any ideas?

Hey guys,

So i recently am a proud new owner of a 08 scion tc. Its silver, tinted, five speed, and beautiful.

So far the only thing ive done to it consisted of a short shifter, a new shift ****, and interior amber leds, painted calipers, and an exhaust.

I do have coilovers on the way and will be dropping the car soon. My buddy on here has been helping me out alot on my car and ideas for my next upgrades (jmyr). Im not really a big speed demon, but I would love to make my scion a work of art. Any suggestions I am open to hearing them guys

Welcome to SL buddy. Glad I was able to get you to post on here haha. Post up some pics of your tC. I'll throw my recommendations out here.
Lip kit and side vent fog lights will give you a whole new look. Wish I still had my fogs but my IC wouldn't allow for it haha.

Yea, pictures aren't working for me either. Definitely check out the Aggressive Wheel Stance thread in the tC1 Wheel and Tire section for some ideas on stance, and to see what others are doing to theirs!

If you have photobucket just copy and paste the "IMG code". And if you ever want to you can also upload pics to your garage on here.

Other than a few people in the Scion community you really don't see people getting creative with lighting that much.

I am a fellow 08 tC1 silver owner... I have a fujita cai on mine and I absolutely love it!!!! I feel a huge gain of performance, but make sure you have an exhaust w/ it lol. It makes a nice whistle when cruzing and growls deep when really getting on it!!! You won't regret getting one!

WELCOME BY THE WAY!!!
