the tc's is already that low for the most part so if you do it 2 more inches it will look stupid to me. That subaru doesnt even look good to me.

originally that subie was made for the fast and furious franchise but then f&f went a different direction and the car was turned into a time attack machine. Personally I think it would look sick on the tC but the tC is pretty low from the start.

there is no way that is the same, the window lays down more than a stock tc .

"Major highlights of the modifications are the 3-inch roof line chop and the removal and the reinforced center glass top and B-pillars."

saw that on several sites

well.. i stand corrected.

certainly was too subtle and a very clean job that it wasn't that noticeable in person for that 3" chop. then again the lack of roof probably threw it me off.

too be honest the window arch looks the same to me, only thing i really noticed was how far the front window leans back. It really doesnt look like a 3 inch chop.

It would look a lot better if the roof was still on imo.
