Default WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH MY TC?

what would you do to my car? rim wise? lip kit wise? exhaust wise? please let me know. I'm a honda guy turned scion guy so im not sure what is available or looks nice. please let me know. right now i'm really looking for full catback exhaust and intake and some rims.

All i have is Tein H-techs and a ____load of audio equipment.

that looks hot, and I've got the exact same one... hehe.

I would keep the rims for now, go with a header first, and then a full exhaust. Watch what exaust you pick though, tC is one car that shouldn't get too loud.

there are a lot of options to go for, personally i love my megan exhaust...

go with a CAI and exhaust, if you want headers prepare to spend more on resonators and cats to quiet down the rasp you'll get. a few lip options are available, check the aero section and as for rims, possibilities are endless as long as they're 5x100 and don't have too low an offset.

Sorry for the wording. I meant it's a car that you should be watched so that it doesn't get too loud.

hello, i have the same silver tc with h-techs that i have not put on yet....a good idea is the angel eye headlights as far as looks. and if you want something performance go with CAI, header, and exhaust. i have a cheap JDM exhaust and it sounds great!

ps. do you need anything other than the lowering springs? like lowerng shocks or somethin?

jdm exhaust eh?

too bad there isnt such a thing.


stock shocks work just fine with lowering springs. they will blowout a bit quicker than normal though.

you need a front lip, LED front and rear lights, and some rims, that will be all set.

If its a 5spd I would rip that out along with the guage cluster and ECU and then blow it up with a huge shot of nitrous!

yup...i mean remember taek's tc? and now it is all about cynce's tc....original paint job, wheels, and ideas. sexy as can be.

as for me, i would buy cf but paint it (yeah that's right). WHY? because i still want that clean look to my AP, while lightening the cars weight a little bit. who can blame me for that?
