I saw one on a xb and i really really liked it and i wanted to put one on the tc but one i dont know what technical name is for them. and i also heard they dont make them for the tc. can anyone verify

 

First off...why would you Want a Clear Fuel Door?...lol...
U know that if its clear u would have to replace everything inside that area to make it worthy..

 

so it feels like he's got Xray vision try plexiglass and low heat it to mold but maybe put clear vinyl over it so it doesn't scratch. just a thought but not for me

 

How much horsepower does it add?

 

A clear hood, maybe.. But a fuel door? Hmm...

 

I got a clear windshield! Beat that sucka!

 

I think rvpps2rocks is asking about the smoked fuel doors on the xB(s). There's no need to flame him for wanting something you other people may find unusual. Isn't that part of Scion? "What Moves You"...that's a very personal statement. You five people who decided to jump on him for wanting to be unique should be ashamed of yourselves. Who gives a *** what you think anyway.

rvpps2rocks, I do not think they make one for the tC because that is a Toyota JDM piece for the xB. The tC was never produced in Japan, so I doubt you will have any luck finding what you are looking for. You may have to fabricate one using plexiglass and then putting a smoke overlay on it. Also to let you know the kit for the xB(s) comes with a chrome fuel cap cover so that it shows through better.

 

^^^ Jumped all over him?
Dude, I think the hurricanes got to you - it was all in good fun.
Chill a little...

 

Actually, I was very lucky. Some of the people in my family were not. Thanks for being insensitive about that though.

 

jsa3mm yes that was the one i was talking about and thanks for the backing...i didnt think i would get flamed this much or at all. but everybody has the opinions....w/e. you guys said to heat the plexi glass....how would i heat the hole thing equally..oven?

 

Lord, grow a layer of skin.
If you think those are flames, then you oughta leave now.
That's barely a match in here...

 

Yea, that wouldnt make much sense to me to make a clear door for that. But its your car I guess...

 

the clear fuel doors are made by TRD...

they don't have one for the tC that i know of... but at the top of my head... they've done celi's and xB's...

but to compliment the showing off part and the bling... is that they have a TRD fuel cap as well.

it's all show points..

 

I did a quick google search and I thought these were the most helpful:

Its funny how quickly some people flame someone when they aren't even familiar with the product. Some of you would benefit by looking beyond the scope of your tc.
Anyways, imo, these are actually pretty sweet, but as someone mentioned they aren't available for the tc b/c its a jdm part and we all know.... The ones for the 7th gen celicas cost around $200, its not some cheap ricer ****. Here some quick search pics, I'm sure you could find better tho.


I'd love to have one for the tc, I think it looks sharp. Hate on.

 

Maybe if someone had posted that pic in the beginning, it would have shown what he was talking about.
Personally, the image I had in my head was likely what others thought too - I've seen some bad pieces made/shown on tCs and frankly, to assume the worst was not at all a stretch.

Now as for your pic - that IS a really nice-looking setup.
I don't think I'd drop $200 on it, but my car is a DD, not a show car.

Thanks for posting the pix.

 

i think i might actually try to make this ...idk how im giong to smooth the edges though. and would i use the VHT nightshades to smoke it?

 

Scion needs to get on the ball and make some of the things that get posted in these forums.
They could make a fortune if they didn't overcharge like crazy for them...

Good luck - that's a pro job and you'd have to be highly skilled and have all the right gear to even get close.

 

im sure u would...i have a lot of random experiences with messing around with things..i just put windwos and stuff on computer cases and put plexiclass on the whole then put a nice flashy led fan. idk id like to give this a shot

 

yeah if only this was available for the tc. better than c/f lids imo too. lol whered all the haters go?! haha

rvp goodluck if you try it man
