I just noticed that batmans gallery of scion tCs only has like 1/3 of the tC pics you have to click SCION Pictures to see more.... Look like ill be buying my 3rd brakelight, reverse white blackouts, and side mirror blinkers from him. BUT still the question remains what about headlights? His pics are at night... not very useful ha.

i'll shamelessly plug Bat because i've met him in person before and he's a great, cool guy to deal with. he let me borrow his tools to install my rear sway bar for Rinoa back then at his place
but then i'll plug in Headlight armor too because he's a cool guy as well.

Depends on the quality you want. Seems like you pay a little more for HeadlightArmor.com's covers but you get a THICK, quality-piece of product. If I remember correctly, I paid $38 for my headlight and turn signal assembly covers from HeadlightArmor.com. That's a GREAT deal! I don't have smoked, but I did get the HID Blue color...
Headlight covers...

Turn Signal Assembly...

I also found out that I had better luck installing the HeadlightArmor.com covers a lot easier than installing Bat's covers. (I'm not bashing Bat. Maybe I just didn't have the patience to install his.) I hope this helps you out.

so im gonna go with headlight armors headlight+side mirror package and Bat's 3rd brakelight and reverse light white-party little smoke lights. So its win win for both of them
i was also looking into gettin overlays...but i dont kno if i should get the smoked or the stelth ones...but i have a question for all of yous...my friend says that he can get my tail lights, 3rd break light, and my turn signals smoked out using special spray paint for only about $50...do you think that is a good deal...i also kno that the guy does a good job because i've seen his work befor...so should i get overlays or the spray paint??? your input is well appriciated.

well... NHT niteshades are great to use if done right... but it doesn't cost $50...
some places do have some high quality work done spray wise.. and again if done right.. it can be really, really shiny, pretty..

I like this a lot. With the Scion logo shaved and filled and "tC" shaved, it's pretty close to a perfect example of "stealth", imo. (getting rid of the polished lip and center caps would make it perfect, if the "stealth" look was the goal).
this is the only place with the stuff in stock. everybody else has them on backorder.
better hurry up and place an order cuzz they get sold quick!
they also happen to be the cheapest by $1

i will keep you updated and take pics after my install
Edited: iv heard 2 cans to be safe if you want both tails pretty dark, but i ordered 3 cuzz im baking my headlights and spraying the orange corner maker and the eyelid.
also here is a DIY for the install..looks kinda hard, but everyone iv talked to has said its really easy, just takes time between drying.
