Well it's been a while since I've been on here... A few months back I was debating trading my tC in and had a small part-out. I decided to keep it though I also began doing some work to it as well to try and make it nice again.

I really liked the stock wheels so I took them to a Powder Coating Shop by my house, I had them done in Vulcan Black with a Red Wagon Pinstripe and clear coated - wrapped in Pirelli Tires.

Then my buddy got me new LED Tail Lights for Christmas, gave them to me a little early so I got a jump start and installed them.

Here's a few current pictures:

Drop is planed for the Spring Time - that's all I got for now...

 

Looking good so far. Day shots?

 

wheels look good, where did you get them done at? and how much?

long time no see btw

 

i like

 

MOAR LOWWWWWWWWWWW

 

I'll try to get some today if I can. The problem is by the time I get home from work it's dark out...

 

Sup man, I got them done at a place called Superior in the Elk Grove area off of Landmier and Busse. The guy does a rim one color for $65 a wheel, from there you have all the add-ons. Mine was $360 with the pinstripe and Clear. He does really good work, I will have more projects for him.

 

i like that red pinstripe on the edge......i actualy did something similar....i did my wheels black also but left the out edge alloy....but im goona add the red also to mine when i had planeed for the summer time...looks good

 

where u get the tails and i like the black wheels he does nice work from the way they look

 

I'd paint those Calipers black too. Other than lowering and that. Looks awesome.


O/T: I assume by the name you like the Black Metal. \m/
Checkout the new Immortal album if you haven't already. ;)

 

nice . i like the yellow fogs as well.

 

Wow, one of the nicest painted stock wheels I've seen. Not liking the taillights though, but that's just my opinion.

 

You guessed it sir \m/ any form of heavy metal for that matter.

The calipers I will do in the spring time when I do my brakes. This is one of the projects that I have for the guy that did my rims. Drop is also planned, I will be doing a full coil-over kit.

 

Thanks, 3k DDM HID's in the Fogs - and 10k DDM HID's in the lowbeams.

 

what kind of tails are those?

 

welcome back

 

I don't know, they were a Christmas gift from my buddy. All I know is that they're LED and seem to be really good quality in terms of build. Also, since the turn signal is converted into LED there is NO hyper-blink which is something I was really afraid of when I was installing them.

 

Thank You

 

Lol, guess Santa stopped by my house twice

I got these foot-well Million Color LED Lights. Probably try to get them installed today, I've wanted some illumination in the foot-wells and under the front seat for the back floor for a while. I'm not feeling so great today so we'll see how it goes
