Man, sorry- I keep forgetting!! I'll try to get some tomorrow or this weekend.

Update!!

My personalized plates are here!! They look noiice!! Also, I ordered some dark WeatherTech wind deflectors and they arrived in less than a week!! (Site said 2-3 weeks.) Installed those as well.

Lastly, my TPL finally came on today. It has never came on previously. (Even though I've had 2 flats and numerous rim changes.) I checked the air in the tires and my rear passenger tire might have a slow leak. (I guess the TPL actually works on an 'o5 tC.) I'll have to stop by America's Tire and have them look at it.

I was going to put MACH2KV, but it looks like it says "Mach 2 Kev".

Yanki; I've been sicker than a dog for the last 4 days! (I went to the beach for New Year's and came back to this dirty a$$ valley air and got sick!) HOPEFULLY, I'll have pics for you tomorrrow!

^^2 Weeks later!!!!

Here's pics of the iPod set up....
iPod chillin'...

Handy little nite lite feature ...

Looks like I'm going to need to replace the holder. Looks tore up in the pic. All it's held by is heavy duty velcro.
Super easy to do and keeps the iPod out of harms way. (Unless you have a cramped glove box.)

Tried to take pics of the Weather Tech Wind Deflectors but you can't even see them!



That's 35% tint BTW.
And finally, the plate...

I don't know what that spot is on the left. I assure you it's not on the tC.
I need to throw on my "Speed Racer" sticker because peeps keep asking me if I'm a fighter plane pilot. I guess it could be worse.

Biggity-BUUUMMPP!!

So, I got tired of my plain black rear Scion emblem. I was bored on my day off and decided to paint the "SCION" portion silver. For those that are interested in doing this, here's the materials used...

One "Scion" rear emblem...


One can of Dupli-Color Engine Enamel... (Choose a color of your liking.)


One can of Dupli-Color Acrylic Lacquer...


One Metallic Silver Sharpie...


Quick recap of the painting process;
1. Wash emblem in soapy water. Let dry.
2. Use paint and apply 4-5 LIGHT coats. Let dry completely before adding another coat.
3. Use lacquer the same way as the paint. (Refer to step 2.)
4. Color in "SCION" lettering with Sharpie pen. Have some Windex and a micro fiber cloth handy incase you "color outside the lines".

Your finished product should look like this...



That's all there is to having a sweet looking rear Scion/tC emblem!! Good job!! You've earned that beer!!

I've been here, where have YOU been? The deflectors I ordered at autosportcatalog.com. They came in less than a week too!!
I plan on washing, claying, and waxing the tC tomorrow. (I also threw the Flik rims back on.)
So hopefully tomorrow or Thurs. I'll have better pix of the deflectors and the whole car.

**UPDATE**

Well, Daddy went and splurged on some new shoes... Five:AD X5:Fs in GM. 18x8 with a +35 offset.
Front

Rear











Here's a better pic of the WeatherTech in-channel deflectors...

I am seriously thinking about getting some tC Spec headlights. I'm growing tired of the CF Eyelids.
I'm still up in the air over possibly suede-ing the interior door panels (front and rear). Any ?s, ask away.

My neighbor has a gallardo, and the rims are very similar to the lambo OEM galardo rims.

I love this car to death. I know a guy who put those Gallado 19's on his 2008 GTI (which is the same bolt pattern at 5x112, since Lambo is owned by VW).

back on topic: I like the customized rear Scion emblem. using the sharpie is a good idea.
