Default New Scion tC Drifter Body Kit

There's only a few body kits out there for tC's (for now) this one is my fav. I like how the fenders look... What do you guys think? Oh yeah if you guys can gimme a guestimate on the price as to price of installation/paint job (again newbie here )

Well its not my favorite out there..... but its one of the better ones. And you should be looking at 2-3K for install and paint. Unless you have a serious hook up. And I would seriously beware of buying kits from eBay. Go talk to Andrea at Joule for a price quote.

I like it! Joolie, there is a sponsor on scionlife that is about to market carbon body kits. I think it will look good on our Red car. Also carbon hood will look very nice and it doesnt cost much. I see one guy selling it new for 325 shipped.

i dont like the choices of the vote .. im gonna say .. take it or leave it .. i think the front is a little too boring .. not really the style i would be lookin for for the tC .. i want the creative compacts buddy club 2 kit .. when that comes out .. nice front end w/out bein too drastic ..

As other's have mentioned - a bit better than most of the kits out there. I'm not sure I like the solid rear though... don't like the stupid fins some have, but there has to be a compromise.

I don't see anything wrong with sticking a "drift" kit on a tC. What's in the name, really? It's still just a kit. On that note, who is to say that a set of Advan Super II's would look stupid on a tC just because you always see them on drifting Sylvias? People should stop judging a car based upon how well it fits some kind of stereotype. While most people would say that a set of staggered wheels on a FWD car is idiotic, almost everyone on this site turned about face when AlxTc did it to his car and got a rave review. I don't get it...

All that being said, I hate fiberglass kits.

hey joolie... just a tip... you may want to research into the pros and cons of getting a fiberglass body kit vs. a urethane one...

fiberglass is much more rigid, but has a tendency to crack, and will shatter upon any serious impact... also, it is not good with constant vibration (you know the colorado roads...) generally, fiberglass is less expensive than urethane. however, fiberglass can be easily bondo'd if needed, and can give a good show look.

urethane is less rigid, but can sag after a while if not properly fitted and molded. however, urethane has a better chance of surviving an impact, as it will not likely shatter. also, urethane is lighter, and if you're looking for speed, may be the way to go. urethane is generally a little more expensive... but IMO is better for daily driving.

all in all, i'd say just do your research! take into account that the material the kit is made of is just as important as the design... depending on what you're looking for.

summary: not all kits are of the same quality!
