New to Atlanta - Need Help!
 

I got my 07' TC a few months ago and would like to get somethings added/modded .... such as tint, lights, and wheels. I need your help with shop locations and suggestions.

I have been lurking these forums for ideas for some time now.
Please help!

:clap: sounds like u could use a lil scinergy ga/atl in your life. the things that we do as a club are amazing. if u need something we will find ways to help u out.


this will get u started http://scinergyie.org/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=23 :bow:

Thanks!
 

:P Thanks for replying, I was beginning to loose hope for a minute. I will definitely try to make it out. Do you guys meet often, is it a monthly type ordeal.

Also, ... a "suggested" shop list would be helpful. :eyebrow:

Most of us get our parts online and then install them ourselves...You can get some parts from Nopi.

Re: Thanks!
 

We have at least one "meeting" each month where we go over club "stuff". However, we get together (just for the sake of getting together) several times a month and we go to a few shows as well if that is your thing. Check out our upcoming events at http://scinergyie.com/phpBB/viewforum.php?f=23.


As far as "suggested shops" it will depend on what you want done and how soon you want it done. If you have a mod or two laying around that you need help with, then come hang with us and keep your eye out for a "tech" day.

For what you have listed...
Tint - I had my tC tinted at Radio Active in Jonesboro. They may be a bit of a drive, but their tint guy is one of the best I have ever seen and I have NO trash in my tint and have had zero issues.

Wheels - What are you looking for? Like Box Rod said, most of us get parts online (or at Nopi) - wheels included. A couple of good sites for wheels are www.wheelsnext.com, www.tirerack.com, and www.discounttire.com (and they have stores all over Atlanta). I got my wheels/tries at Butler Tire - they are AWESOME!

Lighting - I know Box Rod is VERY capable for lighting mods and customizations. ;) (he did all of mine) And, if he can't do it, he can tell you who can. Shoot him a PM and let him know what you are looking to do...


BTW - WELCOME to the wonderful world of Scions!!! :D :D :D :D :D

Thanks for the info... I am still waiting to get my car back from World Collision due to hail damage! They are taking a while... :tap:

i thought mine was gona be blasted by that hail cuz i was at work and there was no parking garage in site. it was ok afterwards. no broken glass. i do have small nicks and scratches that blend in with my road 1s. like i need more of them. cant afford to paint right now. :nails: :flame:

Finally got my car back. Now, let's see where was I :P

Welcome to Atlanta! Hope to see you around soon.

u were looking into how we roll around here :P

Only a Month behind on this thread! Woo! Well, if you're still looking for that 'list' here goes nothing.

1. Springs: Tein...Hotchkis...TRD....can't really go wrong with either brand. Personally, I'm on Tein S-Techs and I haven't had a problem yet. And if you got the money go with Coilovers but if your like the 85% who can't save money worth a damn, springs is a good way to go.

2. Window Tint- Depends on your preference, I'm a coughcoughcoughILLEGALcoughcoughcough 15% all the way around. Looks great.

3. Exhaust. Cat-back or Axleback. There are alot choices out there. IMO...Tanabe Concept G Axleback...Das Sweetness!

I have had all of my cars/trucks (1997 Toyota Tacoma, 1999 Ford Ranger, 2001 S2000, 2003 MazdaSpeed Protege and 2008 tC RS 4.0) tinted at Custom Sun Control www.customsuncontrol.com.
