i started one on another car forum i was on like 2 years ago, but never got one here. well now the tC is ready to step out.

oh and my goal is to represent for the females in the tuner scene and be one of the hottest female non-sponsored daily drivers on the road....

the latest updates on the car will be on this post.

retrofit shots will be up tomorrow. daytime shots will be posted tomorrow (the daytime shot of the headlight will be with a regular old P-N-S, b/c i don't have a sophisticated DSLR):

Very nice car!

 

thank you Gentleman!!

 

very nice purpled.

 

how did u get those fogs to fit? looking good. btw I LOVE THOSE RIMS!

 

Wait you're a female?

 

LOL you use a club?!

 

^^yeah when i had to park the car outside at home. currently i have a garage, but when she has to go back outside next month, absolutely. i try to use what i can to deter theifs and in my parents neighbors they're not that bad to were they come with all the necessary tools.

you sound surprised. but let me check:

likes pecs: check
has those hoot thingys: check
no willie: check

so yeah definitely a woman. i'll take it as a compliment that you're confused/shocked or whatever.

thanks guys

 

i thought u were a dude i was gonna say ghheey. but hey atleast ur not ____ lol noice car

 

sweet

 

You should drop your car mooooooore!

 

purple, flint mica, bronze...? not feeling it, a little too much color clashing and its not flowing well? sick choice on rims and coilovers though?

 

Hey girl!

looking forward to pics of your latest addition, "hint hint"

we can meet up later on for some pics with my d40, your car deserves some good shots!

 

pics dont help much, but looks much better in person, and the work wheels......... well they're work wheels, lol

 

i really like all the colors that are going on.
and also want to know how you got the fogs to fit.

 

the bumper had to be cut to make the fogs fit and it molded around the fog. mod is not for those that don't want to cut their bumper.

as far as too much color....i decided to scrap the first plan awhile ago. so i plan to put it back to one color. i still like the purple/flint combo but i want to do something else.

chico, those pics will be in this weekend when i can get a good spot to take them. i sent you a pm with my e-mail addy.

 

your gona take pics and not invite me... u suck laurice lol...

BTW.. for any of you guys out there thinking shes a priss girl shes not... one of the nicest and coolest and down to help and learn girls ive ever met... i give her much reeeeeeeeespect from me... which is alot because i dont respect MANY locals who drive scions girls and guys!!
