Default Featured Scion 05.11: jtrieu's Black Sand tC

[table:70f0a117cd][row:70f0a117cd][col:70f0a117cd]






[col:70f0a117cd]jtrieu's Black Sand tC

Johnny Trieu's on his Black tC:

"The tC is different than a lot of the other rides out there, it has some serious potential. When I first saw it, I knew it was built to perform in the import world. As Scion quotes, "What Moves You?" The answer? The tC. Not only is it different, it's a new chapter to the import tuning world. I chose the tC to stay ahead of the game.
My passions revolve around tuning cars to their limits. I keep making new ideals for project cars, keeping them simple and clean, but different.

I am just an ordinary guy living life to its fullest. I don't plan for what I might be doing tomorrow, but day-by-day to see what's next. I'm simple but yet different. It's not what I do that is interesting; it's what I will be doing that interests all.

I got involved with the Scion community when I bought my tC and joined Team ScioNRG. I love showing the world what I am capable of doing with my car."

Very nice tC. Could you tell me where you bought the led for the luggage/trunk light? I cant seem to find it anywhere. Some people say that you can somehow modify the rear dome festoon bulb, to fit in it.

Scionlife was sold. It is now own by a large company. And we know what happens when large companies own things, participation and service go out the door.

it's cool homie, it was just funny how there were big gaps in the dates, twice. it's not many times a thread dies, comes back, dies a little again, then comes back. but yeah thanks for not strating a new thread for that. i didn't know the offset, therefore i didn't answer that.
