Default for all my ladies...PINK!

My Pink & White Scion Tc...











Everything on this car was hand done myself except for head & tail lights by a friend...Some stuff was too small to show up on film so to express all the pink...
*all emblems on car are painted pink in interior and exterior(stereo door, steering wheel,etc)...
*shift **** has pink swarovski crystals...
*speedometer spikes are pink...haven't done LED's yet...
*pink & white engine cap...
*pink seat covers...
*pink LED pedals...
*pink interior lighting...
*head lights have a touch of pink in them...
*pink brake calipers...
*white front grill & fog light grill w/pink emblem...
also added that is not pink...
aftermarket headlights and tails...
aftermarket halo fog lights...
carbon fiber dash overlay...(did it before they came out with the paint)
window rain visors...
new amp and sub going in next week...
tint also coming soon after I replace my window someone gashed when trying to break into my car...

ENJOY!

hey, go easy on the chick, she said she did it all BY HAND BY HERSELF

you don't see many chicks saying or doing that my friend, and likely, the effort put into it is above and beyond what most will do themselves

I applaud your originality, and I do think it looks good, I really like the pink in the emblems and the pink calipers

also, you didn't mention your pedals, and I'd really like to see some night-shots of the interior lighting and the gauge needles

also, what's the pink in the back seats I see in some of the pics? Matching seat covers like the fronts? I'm not sure I like that they wrap around the headrests, but hey, you could just cut and sew them so they don't if you want it otherwise

also, the car has a really, really "clean" look to it, but the window rain-visors throw off that look of the car completely

unless you smoke (which I hope you don't, if you do, you should quit, waste of money, lowers car resale,... rant rant rant) then I see no reason for them. I tend not to drive around with my windows down when it's raining

well i applaud that she is fixing up her car, but because she is a girl doesnt mean everything will look right..

i mean cynce, her car is pretty cool looking.. and she is a girl.

i like the calipers, and the emblems, but everything else looks like it doesnt fit, or looks cheap.. i.e: the valve cover, it has like a billion coats of running paint.

mind showing me your hand-painted, custom valve-cover cover?

EDIT: I semi-retract my statement due to the respectful PM from the above mentioned.

If you do a little sanding, and a little touch-up to make the lines cleaner around the bolt holes and the indented lettering, it will look like it was professionally done, just Google about wet-sanding paint, or ask someone to teach you how, then you can start going wild with painting the interior and whatnot yourself and KNOW it will look professional.

Default calm down...

wow that was fast everybody...
um where to start...
the window visors...i live in one of the rainiest cities in the country...i know they look crappy, but i need um...and no i do not smoke...

my least favorite thing in my car is my seat covers ...they are faded from our hawaii sun but i need um cause we go beach a lot...i am looking for a similar wet okole kind of material seat cover in a nice pink if anyone knows of any??? the actual wet okole pink is hideous...

my pedals do light up in a matching pink witht the rest of the car, just the default color is weird i know...i will post pics of it at night sometime...

and the only things i ordered were the heads and tails, and those are fine so...idk about that one

i know my fogs are messed up in case anyone wanted to get on my case about that next...from the rain where i live can't help it...i drilled holes in the bottom to prevent future damage...but if i can fix it though i would be glad to hear from someone...hint hint

mmm...and for the valve cover, yea parts of it didn't turn out the greatest, but its hidden under my hood for now...

and yea i agree with what the nice gentleman said...go easy on me...i am no "pro" like many of you, i get it, but i at least try...

Nice to know that a girl is working hard to make her tC unique and personalizing it to her liking. Big props for the time you spent on your car because your hard work is paying off.

I think it needs some black to set things off. Maybe a CF hood at least.

Mad props for the work you put into that, if everybody put that much work into everything, all of our cars would be freakin sick.
