Default Kyle's Tc (56K maybe...)


Well I am new on the boards. I got my Tc May 10, 2007 and im loving it to death. I have not done much to it yet. I really want to get a pedestrial spoiler soon tho. O and the quality of the pics might not be all to good (camera phone)

I just got the car in these first pics



Windows Tinted 27%



Red Calipers I painted


I took off the dealer sticker on the left side of trunk as well.

Close up of Calipers




Cool Picture I figured out how to do

Any opinions are welcomed good or bad. I plan on getting a pedestrial spoiler soon to put on there I would love some constructive criticism or what you think I should do next. Thank you for looking.

Welcome to the board bro. Nice start Some nice 18 inch wheels and a drop really add to the astetics of the tC. Go check out the Wheel and Tire forum to get some ideas of what you'd like. Tint looks real nice on BSP. But as for other things to do, go for what you want bro. But def. drop the tC stat!

spelling: pedestal spoiler, not pedestrial lol. sorry to give you a hard time, but that was too much to pass up.

for the drop, i'd much prefer springs to no drop at all. but it's your car. congrats on the purchase, you'll love it!

looks likr im in the same boat as you.

I just got my tc two weeks ago or so. and the biggest temptation is to make your tc stand out from the thousands you see everywhere. Stock is something that I dont want on the car

anyhow, drop that sucker, stock springs make ride the wheels way too high.

Im kind of against spoilers though. I think it subtracts from the tc's streamlined look. IMO pedestal spoilers and the TYC tail lights are cheesy as heck. especially on black tcs, a spoiler imo will make it look even more like the typical ricer cars kids driving these days.

Ditch the spoiler and keep the streamlined clean look

If you want coilovers for a better price than from retailers, check out the classifieds section. They can usually cut you some pretty good deals on many aftermarket parts, new and used.

Congrats on the new ride, bro.

if you want some cheap mods....and since you don't mind painting. Paint some of your interior. You can also get some eyelids for your headlights (look up bluebatmobile on the forum), or debadged grills. I have the pedestal spoiler and I like the lip spoiler better. The pedestal spoiler will look good though when you drop it.

o0ok lol i guess pinstripes is a rice move on the Tc. Sorry didnt mean to offend anyone. Are mud guards a decent mod then?? I went to my local auto tint place and they do the clear bra stuff on the front and I got a quote for 400 dollars is that good or not? That seems a little steep but I could be wrong.
