Kyle's Tc (56K maybe...)
A good free mod would be to take off the tC emblem on the back. I just took mine off the other day and mines an '05. If I were you I would get CF: eyelids, hood, trim, b-pillars, and RS1 front lip. Then get a nice set of black rims w/ a machined lip. Oh! and TYC tails, That would look sweet!!!
Congrats on the new ride. Welcome to SL!

bsp tcs look very good with simple mods. dont over do it with the pinstripe and tyc's, anzos and pedestal spoiler.
the best bsp tcs Ive seen on the forum are the simple ones
1.dropped
2. high gloss black polished lip rims
3. window tint
those three mods are enough to make the bsp tc look sick IMO.
dont go overboard on the ricer look. IMO flashy on BSP = tacky
black bsps look nice with the low profile stealth look but not very nice with high contrasty glimmer and glitz mods.
some other mods you might want to consider that are somewhat inexpensive
replacing the interior dome and map lights with color LEDs, I swapped mine out with blue LEDs, simple cheap mod and looks fantastic at night when the doors are open. All black exterior and blue glow interior looks very nice.
swapping out the stock ugly shift ****, adding the doors sills, getting quality seat covers, underdash led lighting.
im going to keep mine simple, stock front and back lights (maybe swap tail lights later in future), tint, dropped, black gloss rims, and edge effects.
im also going to look into adding an ingen cold air intake, and exhaust muffler..
thats probably all ill do to the car. possibly replace the grill with a debadged grilll later.
dont pinstripe the bsp btw
,
what id really want to do is black out my tail lights, but i probably never will, its too much of a road hazard, and a guarateed rear end accident in the future and tickets. Id rather keep the red tails rather than get in an accident. So my tails will remain stock. even if you get in a minor fend bender, imagine the repurcussions, as soon as there is any mention of tinted tail lights your screwed.

Ty all for the comments. Sorry i havent been able to get on lately. I believe I want to keep the stealth look going like RnB180 said. I already Tinted the windows and im looking for some coilovers in the classifieds. Are their any good cheap mods I can do to it. Im a little low on cash right now. I love the led idea. I will probably go do that this weekend. Ty for the comments and keep the ideas coming!!!!

Let me start of with this, if you want a ped spoiler or pinstripe then do it. It your car, make it you. If we all tell you what you should/n't do then guess what; it's not yours anymore, it's ours. Also, I would recommend get the tinted anything or than windows. If your already broke, tickets and accidents don't help. I had my tails housing (the chrome part) painted black, so the still shine the same but in the daytime it gives a tinted look.
That said here's my tips:
1. i'd go flat black wheels -- too many bsp with blk w/polished lip
2. take off the tC emblem -- by far the cheapest mod you could ever do
3. color match the "Scion" emblem on the back
and get a digital cam, those cell pics are killing me. Or find the close scion club in your area and scab of them, i.e. get in on their photoshoots.

TRD Springs= $150 and whatever installation costs, LED dome and and headlight accent lighting is and easy DIY that will cost you every bit of 10-15 bucks for the cost of LED's, and get a shift ****. Those are the cheapest things I can think of.

Well I havent really done much to it lately. I have been working alot getting ready for college so my money is going elsewhere. I have done a few more things to it.

I installed the SCION logo. Easy install.



I am halfway through this overlay install which i got from Bat. Very difficult install.


I also got Bat's 3rd brakelight overlay with redout middle.

Halfway through the taillight install. I will have finished pics of it tomorrow.

I love this picture. Led's from superbrightleds.com

All of my interior Leds also from superbrightleds.com except shift ****.
Thats all of the update I have for now. Let me know what you guys think. Tomorrow I am finishing the taillight overlays doing the front sidemarkers and taking the TC emblem and putting it upfront in the grill.

Dont get coilovers unless your planning to use em. If your going for looks, springs are good enough. but if your gonna be driving hard and taking corners like a madman then coils and a sway bar are just what you need.
