Default Interesting Replica (Help Wanted)

Heu guys. I have had my '05 tC for over a year now, and it has been scratched like crazy. It was a silver tC. I was planning on customizing it, but in a different way.

I was one of the lucky people who received a Jada Toy in the mail... you know, the special edition (that red-ish one)

I would like to make my car look as cloasly as possible to that car. Does anyone know in what steps I should do to make my stock scion look like that? What will I need?

jk, you can try and find the most similar if not the same wheels, paint and slam that baby (tC) to the ground as far as possible. Nice project by the way.

keep us updated!

Hey. Thanks for all the help guys. Of course, I would need to get everything done what at a time. What do you all recommend... start with the interior first, or exterior?

well seeing your age, and that your prolly still in high school, i would go with the interior. people will get jealous and will key your car if you still a youngin in HS..so i say interior first, however exterior would give me more joy.

if you havent seen it in real life you will like it.. that car looks good but see it in real life, the kit flares out at the ends and looks nasty unless you have some really wide wheels... which is stupid on a FWD. the cleanest kits right now are the OEM lip kit, and Kaminari.. but i do have word on a new kit being produced, cant say anything though
