Hey everyone, this is Kym, I was big into Scion about a year ago when I threw a scion car show at Middletown Toyota in Middletown CT. Don't know if anyone here even remembers it but it was fun!!!

I'm now back with Scion and need to customize a tc, for a car show with 4 or 5 of the biggest dealers in CT this summer, Scion only this time. I have a few ideas but I'm pretty much the only one around here that absoultely loves Scion so I'm not getting much help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have a budget, but it's pretty big so all ideas are welcome!

Interior
1. Custom Leather interior
2. 7" screens in both headrests
3. XM Satellite Radio
4. Custom Stereo system(not really sure where to start with that one, someone suggested diamond audio)
5. door sill enhancements, floormats, auto dimming mirror( not really showy, but I get to drive the car so I want it!)
6. Interior LEDS, not sure what color yet cuz I haven't even picked a color for the car yet.

Exterior
1. 19" rims and tires, not really liking chrome these days, but I need some ideas on those
2. Customized body kit
3. Fog Lights
4. Billey grille, like on the special releases.
5. Euro Tail Lights
6. Dual Exhaust, well, at least the appearance of dual exhaust
7. Supercharger
8. Undercarriage Neons
9. 1 and a half inch lowering springs

All suggestions welcome!!!

Thanks
Kym

 

Ixnay on the underbody neons... Get a LED kit. More durable and looks nicer, especially if you're driving it.

Go with custom fog lights... Custom retrofit projectors... Smoke the taillights maybe.

Big brake kit, coilovers instead of just springs...

What color tC are you getting? Base the wheels on the color of the car.

DVD touchscreen Radio maybe? Or CarPC?

Lambo or shaved doors?

 

Definitley need a body kit and some custom paint to set it apart. A turbo would be better for show points than a supercharger. Personalization is the best thing as you dont want a "cookie cutter" show car. THey are all looking the same...

 

I think you should start out with a spending limit that your looking to go with.


As far as audio I think the best headunit is the Eclipse double dins becuase its a damn near direct fit and can power the tvs in the rear.
CDT components would work good and depending on what kind of bass your looking for you should choose you amps and subs by that. (I always recomend Memphis)

Taillights keep stock, almost everyone changes therefor stock will be rare and in my own opinion look the best.

Dont really need dual exhuast, thats more a american muscle car thing look at all your supras and rx7s (all single exhuast) So Id still with a good single exhuast especially if you going with the supercharger.


MO ( dont tell me im wrong people)

 

as smart ___ says its all about ur spending limit but its also about what you like. are you gonna drive it daily? My car is somewhat of a show car (custom audio stuff, turbo, rims, etc.) but i make sure to keep it "driveable so i can actually drive it without freakin out if ill hurt it. IMO, dont do lambos, duals have no purpose other than show, for the price the supercharger is stupid in terms of gains, custom paint always is nice, custom fiberglassed audio will give u an upper hand, since ur in middletown go to attention to detail and just get a katzkin kit from them for ur seats... i dunno the tC is pretty much a blank slate... just do something original and what YOU like, not what others tell you to.

But if you are, how about an LED kit hooked up to your sound system with a controller to emulate an equalizer....Oh yeah and the part I didn't mention, the led's should be behind the glass wind deflector of the sunroof, so that at the show, with the sunroof wide open, the equalizer is visible in front.
