Ive been coming up with ideas while I wait for stuff to come in the mail... had the idea of painting the carbon fiber stuff under the hood with candy purple so that you can still see through the purple paint. The only things thats holding me back is thinking, maybe it'll be too much purple. Well Ive also thought about doing it another color like gold maybe, but then I dont want people to think Im trynna pass it off as carbon kevlar. Ideas and thoughts would be appreciated.
Here's kinda what it will look like in purple. (thought I believe thats not real carbon fiber in the picture)

honestly if your not gonna be road racing and spring rates are not a top priority for you then i wouldnt spend that much on coils. i mean my megans are doin the trick for me but i think that i am eventually gonna try to get a set of those progress coils, dont kno wen im gonna do that tho. how low are you tryin to go?

So like is there a difference btwn a set of say Tein ss-p and stance gr coils?
Honestly, for that budget, check out the DG Spec customs he did. Great value, race proven and limited edition.

Plus you will have $200 left over to put toward other mods. He even throws in a a front camber kit with them.

Scion Race proven DG Spec > BC Racing regardless of cost unless they are free. $995 is not free so no worries.

Um get the free stuff! I think BC are just rebadged higher end Megan coilovers which arent that bad but I think the DG spec are probably pretty good being designed by a guy racing the tC. Plus i would tend to agree with Paul alot of times! He has been great for this community!

Thanks! I do not recommend garbage parts. I only recommend what I would put on my own personal ride. That is what people appreciate.
