10gxiong's Slow and Simple Build Thread - Enkei Tenjins Added
Hello Scionlife. I bought my 2006 Black Chery Pearl Scion tC back in October of 2005. Ever since then its pretty much been stock. I did my first modification in 2006 when I installed a Hotchkis strut tower bar. A few years later I installed a Stoptech stage 2 brake it, Greddy Carbon/Kevlar air diversion panel, had the windows tinted, and painted the front calipers red. I still need to paint the rear calipers. Recently I have decided to invest a bit more on the car and am now working on installing my recent purchase, an authentic RS3.0 Kenstyle Lip Kit.
Here's some pics of my car.
September 2010:
April 2011:
My current project, an authentic RS3.0 Kenstyle Lip Kit that I had resprayed in Black Cherry Pearl. What color weatherstrip should I get, black or gray?
Update: 05/03/11 - Black Weatherstrip is on its way. I also ordered some 3M DiNoc carbon fiber wrap to cover up a few things. Can't wait to install this lip.
Update: 05/09/11 - 3M carbonfiber di-noc
Update: 05/19/2011 - The front lip is finally on. I will probably install the lip after work tonight or tomorrow.
6/13/2011
The rear lip has been on for a while now but I haven't gotten the chance go take pictures of it.
7/12/2011: Purchased Eibach Pro-kit and KYB Excel-G shocks. Its a mild drop, but its enough for my taste. Had them on for a little over a week now.

Hi guys. I got some 3M carbon fiber di-noc in the mail today and got to work on my Kenstyle lip kit. Here's what I got so far.
Sorry. Wasn't really using a good camera. I will probably be wrapping the black portions of the front lip as well. Stay tuned.
