MikeC, overall good job, some of it might not be my taste but again to each their own, but you did it your way so props to that. I'm actually diggin' the soffet type lights on the b-pillars, the rims and exhaust are sick. I've only seen those type rims on one other SW tC and it looks nice. Definitely quality stuff, didn't cheap out that's for sure. Not sure if you're planning to but drop that thing and it would look even better!
Oh, and thanks for serving.

like everyone, the crystals are overkill, randomly placed, id say if you had a few here and there it would pass, but not my taste

i know you may like the muffler, but it just doesnt fit, either change it to something with a round tip, or at least cut your bumper to make it look good

wheels are sick! but a little lower would really make them pop! also get a lip kit! i would normally say OEM gfx kit or Five axis, but look into the JP Vizage kit, i think it would look really good on you car

LOL at the guy who thinks MadMike from Pimp my ride is on SL, lol

Thanks guys I do appreciate the comments for sure. It is a public forum so I must hear all people. That's why I'm here. And I know that 90% of people here just want me to have a sick looking ride, so thanks again. One love, and if I can figure out these GC Coilovers I bought with no instructions, then I will post pics. ;)

The Swarovski Crystals? I like them. Nice use of the word Meh, which is actually a real wprd in some English dictionary as of this year. How's the turbo kit?

Made the sub box, and was going to sell them, but I had a baby, so priorities changed. Thank you though

Original and clean. Vip style wasn't meant for our cars but I think you did well, minus all the jewels. Coilovers will make the car look a lot better too.

Congrats on your baby as well!

I was going to possibly flame here, but you're a nice guy so I wont.

I personally do not like the look of your tC at all. if you are going for the "vip" look, sportmax wheels and crystals everywhere is not going to get you there. The fluffly steering wheel cover is just to damn girly, lose it.You are headed in the right direction, somewhat, but you have a lot of work ahead of you if "vip style" is where you want to go.

Thankyou for your restraint. I think I have heard it all. But that is awfull kind of you not to flame. Mostly I think of SL as a group of friends. When I first got on the forums, i took everything so personally, and I was such an a-hole. But then I realized, most people here just want what is best for each person's ride. I do understand that VIP is a lot different than what I have, but the military just don't pay enough for the Lexus right now. Which is my own fault for being in debt anyways. I do like my car however, and will not claim to be VIP probably ever.

While I'm here, I am tring to install some coilovers that I bought on SL, but I can't piece them togeather. There were no instructions, so I'm kind of geussing. Any advice would be great with this small puzzle.

^looks like you bought sleeves, not the greatest choice since they dont always fit the way theyre suppose to, and from what i know i dont think anyone runs these on the tc?

i might be wrong

Just save up and do it right man. You'll be more satisfied with yourself when you do, trust me. And the fluffy and sparkley stuff, has to go man.

As for the coilovers, I have no idea. Hopefully someone can help you out.

they are sleeves but without directions, I can't tell which pieces go where. I've been experimenting with them all night now.

I may take the advice on the fluffy and sparkly stuff. But the sheepskin is nice in the Nevada summer. Mmmm fluffy.
