Everybody knock it off. This thread started as kind of a preview with what's in store for the tC that will be selling at Longo Toyota/Scion and possibly other dealers in the future. The details were released as well as pictures of what it will look like, later the pricing was announced (by me). Some people MIGHT spend a good amount of money on a car that has been totally redone interior, exterior and cosmetic wise on a car. Others prefer to get a fast car (semi-fast car) and work on upgrading it over time (like 97% of the people on this site).

I understand that this is a public forum and that everyone is entitled to voice their own opinions.... but for the love of God, please don't resort to name/company bashing, fighting, etc. it doesn't prove anything at all, it just goes to show how immature some people are.
Thank you, 'nough said, back to comments about the car!

If anyone's taken a look at 5axismodels.com or what not.. are they selling the lip kit on that Copper colored show tC? The rear end has the exhaust coming out the middle.. and looks super clean... anyone know if it's for sale?

I don't know, but I've emailed like three Longo employees and NONE of them have answered me.
Must not want to sell them very badly...

if you read that it says SHOWCAR and not PRODUCTION you would see that its not for sale. its a one off.

Yes I see that it says SHOWCAR. The rest of the car looks JUST like the vehicle with the LIP KIT THAT IS FOR SALE, the only variation I can see is the rear bumper. Either way, thanks for your condescending response.

there was a thread on SL about going center exhaust, or side exhaust.. and the decision ended up being going the standard exhaust route for the production kit. The center one is only for Troy's car.

troy I love your work and I respect that you like to keep your own unique designs, however I must have your rear bumper with the center exhaust. would you sell one to me for $500.00? I know you still have the mold. what if I declared a hunger strike? this thing is a straight up work of art, thanks for the good designs and inspiration.

yeah but they don't have the center exhaust. someone with some carbon fiber know how should make one! I'd try for sure if I had a place to do it (ie a garage)!

Ugh. I was going to make a tasteful and rational comment about the pricing for the Stage 3 tC being comparable to the new Evo X... but after greg_jspec's posts that were all caps and no tact about the issue, it just seems silly to continue that.

All that aside, very nice kit. It's early in the morning, so I might have skipped over it being addressed; are there 50 total cars being sold between the three stages, or 50 cars being made for each stage?
