Default New to the Scion community!

Hey guys, I'm Steven. I recently picked up my '05 tC after trading in my '03 Mazda Protege for it. I had been in the market for awhile and finally found something I'd love to drive every day.
She's got 96,000 miles on the clock and runs like new.
I'm looking forward to getting involved in the community.

2. Take off that spoiler
3. You'll have a clean azz set up

What's sad is that I washed it a day before I took these pictures lol. It's just been rainy and the roads are wet around here lately, so it's hopeless to wash it. Right now the front lip is off because it has a nice fat crack in it.

Most of the mods so far have been free from a friend that got rid of his tC. Except for the exhaust, TRD shift kit, stage 2 clutch, and JVC head unit which came on it.

-Raceland coilovers
-Greddy RS exhaust
-HPS short ram intake
-HID kit
-Red LED's in the headlight housing
-Red LED interior lighting
-JVC Head unit
-TRD shift kit
-ClutchMasters Stage II clutch

I'm planning on Hotchkis Suspension sway bars, a DC Sports strut tower bar, headers, and replacing the TRD shift kit with a TWM short shifter soon.

I know I know, you keep mentioning that GT so I figured I'd see a spoiler on it. It's just that these cars have such a sexy flippin line curvature to it from bumper to bumper, then you reach the end with a spoiler that screws it all up and then the sexy look is dead... re-think it for me

I dunno... just love the look of the lemans cars... maybe ill actually track this thing for time attack or a road course... I mean we do have Watkins glen here!!

The spoiler wont be a huge airplane wing, or make the car look like a shopping cart lol... i will probably have custom brackets water jetted to keep it at a nice level...

Something like this spoiler that you have attached would work. Definitely with a wide body up front too. I think that will work just fine.

And it's not a LeMans.... hahahah!
