Well, I FINALLY decided to get off my **** and take decent pics of my Winter rims. (18" Flik Artics in Anthracite.) Don't fret; I will rock my 5Zigens after the 'April Showers'. I traded my Stock wheels for these. I couldn't pass that up! Also, there are few more pics than normal because my tC will be celebrating her 2nd Birthday pretty soon. Hard to believe that its been 2 YEARS already! Enough talk! Here's the pics...





















*EDIT*
I've received PMs about how the interior looks. So here are some pics of the Interior and Engine Bay...







Yeah-yeah-yeah...I know there is a lot of them. She's almost finished. (Speaker upgrade, new D/S Rotors, Suede Interior upgrade, and Green LED Gauge & HVAC Swap are all next.) Check the "profile" for mods. Comments, as always, are welcome. Thanks for looking at the ride!

*EDIT*- The Audiobanh 8" Sub pic has been replaced with current Kennwood Sub set up.

 

schweet! i like the overlay on the TYC's! now just a lip kit!

 

Lookin' good.

 

men, u will in rolling in the winter. that hawt as a winter look

 

very nice

i like this one

 

ur car looks sweet keep up the good work. Its simple and it looks good!!

 

Great tC, when ru trading in for an xB

 

ooo. i like the black TC emblem

 

Thanks for all the positive comments so far!

Nope. It's Vans Lens Paint. Tried an overlay and it didn't look good at all and it was a real b^tch to put on. Lens Paint and Clear Coat made it look 100x better! I don't need no stinkin' lip kit!

EXACTLY the look I was going for! A little aggressive but not overdone at all.

Not any time soon. I like my tC waaay too much. If I'm going to trade her in, I'll get one of these...

FJ Crusiers rock! Thanks again all!

*Updated original thread with Interior and Engine Bay Photos!!!*

 

^^^so u just painted the taillights????? I was thinking about doing that cuz I painted the taillights on my 98 corolla with candyapple red paint, and they came out pretty good. Im just kinda "iffy" about painting the tyc taillights so im gonna try the overlays that I ordered from bat, and if that doesnt work out, then i'll just paint them

 

dude, those painted TYC's are gorgeous....

where would someone get some of that paint..... ;)

 

This is where I bought my 2 cans from...

coolbulbs.com

Just scroll to the bottom and you'll find it.
The price has gone up since I bought mine.

 

so you've got some left over that a fellow tC'r could borrow right ;)

thanks for the link ddue, if i ever break down and get the TYC's, that's exactly what i'll be doing to them. they look ugly as is IMO.

 

^^Nope. I went through a can per tail light. I was hoping to have some left over so that I could do the 3rd Brake light. No dice.

I my TYCs! I have yet to see anybody else with the same set-up. I mean; I've seen overlays but not actual lens paint. I should have done a 'DIY' on them, but (A) I didn't think about it at the time and (B) I was worried about how they would turn out. They definitely came out better than I thought.

 

NICE PICTURES !!! i really like your egine bay, so clean ... good job !

 

is it applied the same way that you would apply nightshades? aka scuff, spray, wetsand, spray, clear, sand blah blah blah?

 

Yeah except I didn't 'scuff' the 1st time. I just cleaned them really good then did the rest of the steps. If you're serious about doing this, it shouldn't take longer than 4 hours total. (That includes prep and drying time.) Installation is a breeze. (5-10 minutes and 5 black clips to remove the rear bumper. Depends on how careful you are.) After 2-3 days, put a good coat of wax on and then buff those suckas out! You'll be lookin' clean in no time!

Thanks! Me too. I think it has something to do with the roundness of the tC next to the squareness of the building and that the building is like a big mirror(?). Maybe...

 

i need to trade my stocks for something.

 

Very clean! I like the subtle paint on the interior.

 

That's one clean tC Hyghgynx!

I'm not familiar with that "Winter" thing you allude to, are you from NoCal?
