1. loose the graphics
2. get wider wheels
3. get a real custom system, im not feeling that box
4. loose the tails
5. maybe a black steering wheel will look better


how did u make that screen on the pass side? no air bag?

I'm going to be as constructive as I possibly can. If I were you, I'd take the vinyls and kit off. Then I'd lower it and tint those tails...dark. However, you seem to be off to a good start on the interior. Also, the CF hood is nice.

I'm really feeling the interior, but the graphics need to go and the rear end needs an overhaul.

Also if you're anything like me when I first turned 16(granted I'm only 19 now but I have learned quite a few things since then) you might want to consider scrapping the body kit altogether and going with a cleaner, simpler lip kit. A few of my buddies in high school had body kits on their first cars and regretted it almost instantly. If you scrap that front end bad enough it'll probably break and I doubt (although you may) you'll have enough spare cash laying around to fix that all the time. Other than that just enjoy the new ride and be safe.

With the urethane you should be good with the front breaking too easily. Just keep in mind that a body kit on a daily driver is very difficult to maintain. Don't let me stop you if it's what you want though. Tons of people to drive every day with kits.

The tC has good potential-- and its good that you are losing the graphics-- I would also lose the kit, that rear end is massive and boxy and just doesn't seem to fit right on it...or it could be the rims being too small and therefore making the body appear to be huge--

oh and white steering wheel-- otherwise,
