Noooooooooo!!!!! Today I installed some of the CF Dash Applique. I only used the emblem inserts, shift surround, and center vent trim. Very subtle and looks nice! Sorry, no pics. The only bad thing was the rear emblem inserts $uck bad. The cut isn't really good. I even had to trim a couple of pieces to make them fit better. The front inserts totally kick ****! They fit perfect! I wonder why the fronts are so good and the rears are so bad? Weather permitting; I'll snap some photos of the goods tomorrow.

I will probably wait until Spring to install the new rotors. I don't want to install them only to have Mother Nature beat them up this Winter. It also gives me time to order some brake pads. When you need new rotors, definitely check out Rotorpros.com!!! You can get 4 Dimpled and Slotted, painted black (or any other color you desire) rotors for under $200! And the quality looks exceptional! Fast shipping too!

I hope to install the speakers in the next couple of weeks when I go on vacation from work. Plus, I still need to buy an Amp. So by the time I order it and it's shipped to Casa de Hyghgynx, should be a couple of weeks. We have inventory coming up then after that its vacation time! (For almost 2 weeks! )

Ok...I'll stop now!

 

cant wait to see the rotors on with those rims!

 

I my 5Zigens! They are great. You will like them too except that they are a major b*tch to find. Since you have a FM tC, I would look for something in Gunmetal or Anthracite. Those colors would look really good on your tC! I almost bought the Enkei Wheel Rs7s in Anthracite, but I got a REALLY good deal on the Flik Artics. BTW- the Fliks are on sale at edgeracing.com. Check it out! Your tC is clean! New wheels will only make it look better!

 

im still debating . I really like the RX6's in Hyper Silver for my tC and those are the only rims other than my current ones i have that i like for my color and im picky. Im not a fan of dark colored rims with my tC. I still need to get tires soon so i should have my mind made up by Feb or March?

 

Oks...here's some pics of the CF Applique I used so far.
CF Emblem Inserts (Rear)

Shift Surround

Center Vent trim

I tried to get decent shots of the front emblem but the weather wasn't cooperative. Now, I'm going to have to paint the letters in "SCION" silver. I think that will really set off the emblems. That's all for now.

 

Hyghgynx, can you please show some night pix of of your tails with the reverse lights on. I wanna see how bright it is through the layer of paint you have there. I have to do a lot of parallel parking where I live, so I dont want the reverse light output to be an issue here. Thanks

 

wow that came out nice............i am happy its real C/F not some vinyl BS decal that alot of peeps like to get.
buy real, buy quality........

install your rotors NOW god dammit, trust me they wont get beat up, we just put a set of project MU's on the evo 9 and they rock, and they cost bank........ were not worried about the fresno blizzards, its not like we live on HOTH

 

^^Thanks buddy! Even though its the CF Applique, I'm still happy with it. I wanted it to be subtle, not hog wild CF Applique everywhere! I'm still debating on the CF Rear Hatch trim.

If I'm going to change out the rotors, I might as well change out the pads. I want to get Axxis Ultimates, I just have to order them.

*EDIT!* About the tails; I tried to get my gf to help take pics of the tails (while in reverse) but she didn't want to help. Says I care too much for my tC. Funny thing is SHE BOUGHT ME GEAR FOR MY tC FOR XMAS! Crazy girl!

 

^^haha

 

yeah, too much c/f can make your car look silly......... keep it low key.

yes, change out the bads, get the axxis ulitmates. I used those on my accord and Tc, they are awesome......

 

^^Didn't know you were still on here. I ordered my amp and brake pads yesterday. Myabe you can help with the installs? <hint hint> If not, no biggie, I'm in no hurry. With those purchases, that doesn't leave with much else to do. She's almost done! Woo Hoo!

 

from time to time.......... call me when you want to do the installs. Im bored

 

If you dont have an easy wheel to clean look into some low dust pads. If you havent already ordered the pads.

 

Weather finally cooperated so here's a pic of the front enblem with the CF inserts from the CF Dash Kit...

And here's a teaser pic of the goodies I'll be installing starting next week ...

I'm still waiting on my Amp from Crutchfields. It should be here on Tues! I can hardly wait!!!

 

sorry to threadjack, since he painted his whole tailight red, his reverse light is gonna be red too. so technically he doesn't have back up lights anymore. that is my i left my back up light and brake lights clear. here is a pic of it ( a real crappy one, sorry go easy on my booty ppl.)

 

looks good ...

 

Technically; they are white with a pinkish-hue. Not red! The reason why I haven't posted a pic yet is because I just ordered new LEDs. (12 LEDs as opposed to my previous 4 LEDs.) I will take a pic once those are installed.

 

time to highjack your thread FOO.......... J/k,
thought you may like this pic. just finnished applying a nice coat of zaino, i recomend you get some, or borrow mine...... night and day!

If your wondering...... 19x8 front 19x10 Rays lexion 105's with dunlop SP9000 and eibach prokit, and yes, this replaced my Tc.

 

^^ Looks REALLY GOOD MAN ...

 

Can I get my car back?
