Off to work. Have a good day.

I went to one of the top design schools in the world (RISD) and gratuated with honors ... I'm now a lead visual designer for a very large web firm ... I worked in graphic design and marketing for 7 years before this ... I sell my own art very successfully ...and I think (imho) your design misses all of the styling cues Toyota took from the previous Celica as well as other elements from the current Lexus line up.

...I don't mean to brag or whatever, just letting you know my design history.

Honestly, I don't hate your idea I just don't think it works with the profile of the tC ... on that note ... I also agree the tC rear end could use a little tweaking, mainly in its stance tho. It could use some serious width (as well as a lower roof line) and maybe slightly more pronounced rear fender flares. ...imo.
Any good designer can and should, as you have, take an already excellent design and find room for improvement in it.

doesnt TC stand for Touring Coupe???.......

anyways the only thing i would change on our beautifully designed TCs would be the front i would make it just as short as the M3.....make it look as if there was no front bumper at all from the side....ohh and make it widebody stock!!
