Street Concept, 250 + 100 shipping, + 500 paint and install (got a few other things done too, such ___ painting and installing the sideskirt, rotors, a scrape on the front bumper was painted also). All together, around 850. Also, the exhaust had to be cut and rewelded to fit the bumper, I had to have the grilles mounted and I had the rear bumper 2 toned black in the middle and everything else white, which is where some of the extra cost came in.

Let the imitation begin!

 

OK well since you asked for opinions ill chime in on this one
I dont care for the Toyota badge at all and you have way to many badges on the back of your car for my taste...
I think the rear bumper is just ummm well ill be nice, I dont like seeing the huge muffler hanging down like that thru the bumper.
The rest of the car from what I can see looks good though.

 

Looks ok. I too have to say 'nay' on all the badges. Is it me or does the new bumper look more white than the tC? IMHO, you should have gone with 15mm Spacers. It would be pretty close to flush, but slightly tucked. That would definitely help with your rubbing issues. Just my 2-bits. As long as you like it, that's all that should matter.

 

the M-Power kit isnt a bad looking kit as a whole, I'll have to see better pics of the rear to really be able to say. I can see thsi looking pretty cool, ... but I'm also seenig this being bad, like a civic trying to imitate that good look, and comes off cheap looking regardless of the quality of the paint job.
tire rub on TRD drop... that sucks. And yea, any less of a drop would just look bad, the spacers really make it look good tho.
Wanna see the wheels too, and the calipers with these decals.

now ... for the bad ... badges, bleh. the toyota badge, I'm ok. but TRD and VVT-i badges are excessive, imo

Still looks toight loike toiger though...

 

Well, agree to disagree on the badges, I hate the shaved look...much too plain looking. More pics coming soon, and no the bumper isnt any whiter than the paint...maybe cleaner, I had just whiped it down because i was polishing the exhaust...which looks really nice since the TRD exhaust is polished stainless steel.

 

 

The red appears pretty washed out because the pics are from a crummy razr phone, it's actually a matte sort of medium red shade. Not shiney or orange looking like in the pics.

Also the calipers in that pic don't have the decals on them. The decals are just white lettering which says "J Woods".

 

Alright K-Fed.

 

hmm, no clue what that means??

 

That is one nice ride! I've been looking for a diff look for the rear and I think I've found it. SWEEET!!!

 

Haha, thanks man. I'm almost sad since I'll no longer be the only one with this setup, but immitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I guess. I was too happy with this setup not to post pics, I just had to share this with the world.

 

bro if you honestly believe that you have started something... you need to get over yourself

 

I get the feeling that you think that there is a large gaping hole int he bumper, or that the rear is see through or something like that? It's not, the rear is just painted black in the inner middle part, since it's a recessed area. There is no grill there, it just appears black because of the paint. You can't see the muffler unless you lean down low and see about half of the muffler peaking out from under the bumper, just like with the stock bumper, only a little bit extra is exposed. Besides, the muffler showing a little bit is the cleanest part of the bumper, since my muffler is polished stainless steel, it looks really nice.

 

Why be rude? I've had 3 seperate people already ask where they can purchase this bumper, and I don't mind sharing that info. Isn't the point of an internet forum to share pictures and exchange knowledge and "start something"? I was just stating that I value being unique, but not more than I value sharing innovation with the community.

Blackonblacktc please do not post in my thread anymore, I'd really appreciate that.

 

I think I just got that, are you talking about Kevin Federline? What does anything have to do with him? J Woods is my nickname among close friends, and I'm not white so it's not lame for me to be called that, like it is with Federline. Besides, you can crack jokes about that guy, but he still climbs into bed w/ Britney Spears every night, gotta give him credit for that.

 

 

I don't usually like to bash on people in the forum because it is a community and we are here to help one another, but you asked for feedback whether positive or negative, and ye shall receive. For one,

get the hell off your high horse and stop thinking that you are making a trend. Do you really think you are the only one with TRD exhaust and an aftermarket rear bumper? For the record, you aren't the only one with that exhaust. And for two, Im sure someone else who already has that exhaust, has probably already purchased the same bumper from the same magazine. Here is a photoshop that would make the back end look a little less rice.

 

Yup, not trying to bash, but I for one, would never copy your setup. If you like it, its your car and thats fine.
