Default First couple of mods done on the wife's tC ** PICS **

Well, I got the hood strut and pedal covers on today.

The Injen intake should be here in a week or so. I have the full set of grillcraft grills sitting on my workbench, and I just won a TRD exhaust off ebay for $132.50 !!

Nick has the spoiler I bought from Munch and is going to paint if for me. That is about all Brandi will let me do, I am hoping I can talk her into lowering springs and that will be it!

I think you have good chance of beating Tim now. Those pedals will put you over the top for sure.

lol...

I keep asking ya.. who's car that really is... I know you say the wifes, but we all know... Your jones'n hard on all the new parts available to you....

I like the way the hood struts look... is that a "drilling required" mod? I've seen the tein hood struts, but have never really liked the green that they use... The ones pictured above are very nice indeed...


I'll give ya a call in the a.m.

As far as I know, it's the only one they make for the tC. The Redline Tuning Quicklift Elite. Tein has yet to make one for the tC, just the xA and xB.

Lookin' good, Doug! ...just tell your wife you uh...painted her springs. Yeah...that'll teach her. =P

Yeah, it's the redline tuning strut. You do have to drill 4 holes, two on top that get rivited and two on the bottom with bolts.

There's a local guy on Craigslist right now selling a bunch of stuff too for his tC, exhaust, srpings, header, etc. Might help out do more for less

Let me know if you want a brand new TRD strut/spring set. I have a set collecting dust.
