Well I've had the car for about a year now and I only recently decided I'll keep it and mod her here and there, very slowly, seeing that I am a college student that isn't in the best financial situation lol. Anyway..I decided even if I weren't going to keep the car, I'd want tints regardless.

Anyway..here are some pictures of her before any modding began. This was in Avalon Park in Orlando, FL. My buddy and I were bored so we drove around looking for good places to take pictures. He took the pics and I "developed" them. I intentionally overdeveloped them to give that surreal look to it. Enjoy.




















^ I like this one. I took this one and photoshopped it after. Pretty spiffy if you ask me. It's my buddy's 08 Si. Fast and fun lil car. The intake and exhaust sound orgasmic, and you have that to enjoy until you hit VTEC, then the fun starts lol.

Tint - Here it is, first week of ownership I got her tinted. 5% all around except for the windshield, where a 6" strip, also 5%, was placed on.







But then I decided it would be in my best interest to pay her off, keep her and toy around with her every now and then. So, the second thing I decided to do would be HID's. 6000K from HID Extra. Not bad of a product! I'll definitely be buying from them again. I had to wait over the weekend but whatever. Well worth the wait.











Soon after I decided to get rid of the horrendously unappealing stock map lights and license plate lights. Thanks Garage1217! The two LED's near the license plate alone makes me enjoy my car even more!








A couple weeks passed and I decided to "clean" the look up a bit. I decided to then de-badge the "tC" from the hatch, and remove the Scion logo off of the garnish. I could have purchased it pre-debadged (lol sp?) but I decided to put my auto-collision refinishing skills to the test, sort of. It was fun and I finished it within several hours. Would have been about two hours, but I took my happy ___ time. Now she just awaits paint, which is mighty expensive lol.










^ I need to re-define the garnish's body line since it's off. I didn't pay much attention to that area lol. I will definitely post pics once I paint it.

Comments are DEFINITELY welcomed. Criticisms as well.

 

lower it, then post pics

 

Keep it clean brotha!

 

lookin clean so far, I use to live in orlando, I went to cypress creek HS for like 5 months

 

pictures of MR. T. NAOW!

 

This was when I had my first car hahaha.

 

I'm debating on a couple things actually. For my next mod, I want to do one of the following.

1. TRD Lowering Springs (to avoid strut damage)
2. Carputer (build it myself, but retain waterfall door)
3. Paint the garnish
4. RS1 Lip-kit
5. Either Tanabe Concept G or Megan Drift Spec CB exhaust

 

get Tein H-techs. there more aggresive and they wont hurt ur struts. tanabe>megan lol

 

I thought anything more than a 1.3" or 1.5" drop usually causes the struts to crap out prematurely?

 

Not necessarliy your driving habits affect the strut life more. I'm on tanabe df's at 60k had them since around 15k and still going strong but now coils are coming next for firmer ride and better stance. Oh and your cars clean a little lower and your all good. Check out tanabe or tein they are about the same and TRD uses tein to manufacture their springs so TRD is just tein in disguise.

 

nice

 

paint the garnish lol, it makes the **** end look like crap the way it is.

then get springs htechs are pretty nice

 

Unfortunately I have to wait to get paint. Like I said..my financial situation is at a low point haha.

 

^hey worse comes to wrose why dont u jus get FM ina rattle can and jus try and do a good job. probably cost u like 20 bucks for a can then get a good clear coat. same that flea uses for his interiors.

 

Is that color matched? Where can I find that? I'm pretty good with rattle cans and gravity-feed spray-guns if the pieces are reasonably sized. I have a clear-coat, well I have everything I need to spray it with the exception of paint which I may get next week or so. FM is expensive!

 

Scratch that..after some searching I realized that the color you mentioned is lighter than FM, right? Can't have a lighter shade of metallic gray haha.

 

nah no way. the color i have on my interior is GGM, but u can buy FM paint. i jus chose GGM bc every1 had FM interiors

paintscratch.com and jus put in ur paint code and then it will show u how much a can of it is our paint code is 1E0 ill help u look hold up
