Default 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!

Default Thanks!

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.

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

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

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!
