Let me know what you guys think. Constructive criticism welcomed.

Here are some pics of my Indigo Ink Pearl 2005 Scion xtC.

x from the xB was a little larger, it's currently on my girlfriends tC err xtC.

Welp, that's about it till I turbo this beast...
Hope you enjoy it half as much as I do!

AJ...

 

Gorgeous ride! What rear lip spoiler is that? It doesn't look like the OEM. Those 19" TRDs look pretty good with the shocks and struts. Nice work.

 

Nice pics- very nice stereo install! Looks very clean. Good job!

 

Thanks for the nice words, and yes that is the factory lip spoiler.

I love the rims, when I first picked them out, everyone told me not to get them because they "looked just like the factory 17's" but now that they are on the car and it's lowered, everyone changed their mind pretty quick.

Thanks again!

 

Thanks for the kind words, it really makes all the work and $$ worth it when you hear nice things.

The stereo was the biggest project so far and it was really worth it, it SLAMS!

I would recommend JL to anyone interested in car audio.

 

That is one hot ride! Everything about it is very nice!

 

Thanks, that means a lot. I wish I had some blue gauges ;) (hint - hint)

 

Sent you a pm.. I think it covered all your questions regarding what we can do with the gauges and console. I hope to hear back about whether the designs we worked out on here worked to make the center console bright without using stilts If not, I may just order a few sizes of surface mount resistors that should work and just using mine to test. I need more blue in mine! If I decide to dump all mod-money into performance instead of the sound system first.. I may tear apart the stereo and do those too

 

I dont hear much about JL any more but they really used to make good stuff and Id assume they still do.

 

Just to give you an idea, it's a single 10 and it went 134.8 db in a SPL competition and took first place in the stock class. If people don't know it's only a 10, they think i've got 2 12's in the trunk or something.

 

hey whats the big change with nautical blue? does it really look any different, nautical blue sounds kinda ___ though,

 

Darker, without the pearl, or at least the pearl is not as noticeable. It looks good.. but I love the pearlescent look of the IIP.. but I am partial

 

i feel exactly the same way

 

Hey well hopefully they will still stock some IIP parts cuz what happens if we are in an accident or something, will scion still have IIP paint?

 

i don't think that will be a problem. from what i've seen anyone can make the paint with the paint code. but i don't know if anyone knows this but the Camry has the IIP paint on their SE (sport edition).

my GF is looking at a Camry and she notice that they had one in the same color as my tC.

 

BUMP! We need to get some revival in the IIP world, and the NBM noobsters too.

Anyone have the TYC tails on these colors?

 

Dyltone, your car must bump haha . my friend has JL subs. How does your JL's sound like with the JL amps? btw i like your interior

 

Thanks man!

Audio really bumps and it's soooo clean. I love JL Audio!!!

There have been many changes on my ride since august, here are a few:

Fog Lights are relocated now - Can you guess why?





ZPI Stage 1 turbo Kit


Blitz I-Color Sequential Boost Controller


Auto Meter Cobalt Blue Boost Gauge
AEM Wideband A/F Gauge


Greddy Emanage


Need to take pics of Blue Gauges and new 3" mandrel bent exhaust!

 

^^^ I really like what you done..lol

 

Thanks!
