Update 05/19/2011 - The front lip is finally on. I will probably install the lip after work tonight or tomorrow.





How does it look so far?

 

Finally got pictures of both the front and rear lip posted.

 

Need moar low.

 

The Kenstyle lip looks really good man.

 

Will be getting tokico shocks and htechs or rokkors later this summer. I like how the tC looks dumped on coilovers, but its not something for me. I'm going for a more conservative drop. For me function > form.

Thanks.

 

Update 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.

Before:


Sorry, they are not pictures of the same side, but you get the point.

After:

 

I spot FedEx ground barcode lol. Looks good. Hows the ride? Did you get your alignment yet?

 

The ride is pretty good. It's a bit stiffer than stock, but I don't have any complaints. I haven't gotten my alignment yet, I'm getting new tires in the next several months so I'm just going to wait till then.

 

My rears had almost 2* negative after my drop. You need some 18's.

 

I'm going stick with 17's, i want to have the extra sidewall to help absorb the effects of the bad roads here in town. I'll probably be getting some new 17's later this year.

 

I know what you mean, our road in WV suck.

 

gotta clean car yourself. I'm really digging the conservative path you took. Using a car without worrying is what it's worth. What kind of 17s do you plan on getting?

 

looks clean man...good job

 

Thanks.

I might get some XXR 527's, 17x8.25 +35. We'll have to wait and see though because I have something big I have to save up for. If it weren't for bad roads, fear of scraping everwhere, the police, and my girlfriend I would have probably slammed my car on coils already. But truthfully speaking, for me function > form.

 

I've had my OEM GFX side skirts painted and installed for a few months now but never had the chance to take some pictures. Pictures are posted on the first page. Let me know what you guys think.

 

One of the Cleanest looking Blk Cherry tC's I've seen...Glad you keep it Shiny!

Time to get some Coilovers & some Legit Wheels!

 

co-sign with teecizzle. I was thinking about the TRD strut/spring combo initially, but when I spotted a good used set for wayyyy cheaper, I went for it. I'm probably lowered about 1.8 inches, and for commuting/freeway driving it's nice. I can't say that much when going to the cities like SF or oakland, but ....I still love it, glad I can adjust it....coilovers: DO IT!

 

Thanks guys. I really do want to get some coilovers and some wheels, but I am currently saving for my wedding so the upgrades will have to wait. My fiance told me I could budget about $1500 for a set of wheels after the wedding so I'll have to wait and see. Thanks for the comments though. Its great to get some encouragement especially since BCP's don't seem to be represented often. Due to the job I have been working the previous year now, I've had to do a lot of highway driving and now I have a lot of rock chips on my hood and front bumper (including the Kenstyle lip). I also had a blow out which bent my fender and chipped off a bit of paint. Like I said, we'll wait and see. I do always try to keep her clean though, I get a lot of good comments for my tC from auto enthusiasts since I park pretty close to a auto body shop when I go to work.

 

Hi guys, its been a while. I finally got some new wheels. Here's a teaser.

Enkei Tenjin 17x8 +45

 

Lets see them on the car!! Love the lip kit I was trying to get my hands on the rear for the longest and couldn't ever find anything local. Keep it up.
