Well me and my hubby have had a busy week on the tC. We added the TRD shocks and Springs, painted the calipers and finally today our new wheels and tires came in.
The pictures arent so great I know the car is dirty and yes the wheels are dirty since they are right out of the box and onto the car. We are supposed to have more rain tomorrow along with colder weather but I will get CLEAN and better pictures as soon as I can. I wanted to share these photos with you and see what all of you think of our progress.
The Beginning

Well there it is, hope you all enjoyed the photos Looks much better in person but like I said I'll get new pics as soon as I can.

 

looks great i personaly would have done more of a drop but thats just me looks awesome though. i love those wheels

 

well those TRDs haven't settled so it might drop a lil more.. but sweet ride.

 

Looks great! It looks like the rims are a perfect match to the FM.

 

nice work... gonna get a lip kit?

 

love the hiros.

 

Great choice on wheels!

 

Nice choice on wheels ;)

hey thanks all the springs have only been on for 2 days and I wont go any lower, the tires are wide and I will rub even more then what I am now. I noticed tonight when we took it out we rubbed on a few bumps....sooo we need to be careful but damn she looks HAWT!

 

i also have the TRD springs and have bottomed out a few times with them ..... im glad I didnt go any lower.

 

dammit! Another FM with hiro's...........i guess we should add another when i get mine! Sorry but these rims on FM are sexy!

 

I think your tC looks just great the way that it is! But, if you want to score 4 or 5s in your profile, you will need to add a lip kit. But, who cares right? I don't know why, but peeps here are "kit-crazee". If your tC looks stock, they will give you low scores. Weather is crazy here in Cali! It might snow where I'm at, and that RARELY happens here! With the new Shoes & Soles, I think your tC looks hawt! Good job! Keep us posted on future mods.

 

Hawt!!

 

looks awsome

 

how much did u pay for the trd shocks? i am planin to get trd springs buh im not sure if the shocks are worth it.

 

If you wanna save some money you might consider just getting the springs for now. You can always get the shocks later on down the road.

 

sweet ride

great post

 

^^^ Damn 43-year old took the words outta my mouth!
Nice job, Reese!

I bought them from McGeorge and I definitly recommend the shocks too. If your going to do one might as well do the other. He has a package deal for $579.00 for the tC anyways. http://www.mcgeorgeparts.com/

Thanks everyone for your nice comments, I wish I could go wash it and get new pictures but its freezing here in LA. who would have thought
