Thanks! Glad to be here

It is quite clean. I was surprised when i saw it in person, being that it has high miles and such. The previous owner took pretty good care of it, though there are some small dings. Easy fix.

Default Not quite black..

Hello Scion Life, long time lurker here. I bought my sisters babied 09 tC when she moved cross country.
Flint Mica, fully loaded, upgraded Pioneer sound system, and a manual. I'm glad I finally have a car that I am proud of, I love this thing. I'll be around the forums quite often I'm sure.

Laugh at the plates, everyone else does. Rawer. That will change eventually.
Since these pictures I have removed the front plate and debadged my tC emblem.

Currently has a TRD exhaust and a drop in K&N filter for now. I'm saving up.

This is my first post on here. After searching for a few months for cars finally landed myelf a 2006 TC with 67k miles, Flint Mica, manual.

Car is still getting detailed at the dealership going to recieve it today or tomorrow hopefully. already ordered full exhaust, CAI, upper/lower grills, foglights, and eyelids. Cant wait to see how that makes it look. I still got more plans for the car, look out!!

I remember the first day I got my new flint Mica 06 TC... Completely happy with it...
98k miles on it now, lol... Sad to let her go... No problems other than just basic maintenance, and a dead battery...

I'm staying within the family though picking up my is350 next week ^^

New to the forums, after lurking the forums at random I finally decided to join.

I drive a 2006 Scion tC that I purchased in 2010 (pics below).
There's nothing done to it, yet (which is the main reason I wanted to join ) besides 20" Zinik rims, after market LED tail lights and I put a TRD emblem on the back.

I almost bought the TRD edition tC but went with this one instead, because I was recovering from a torn achilles and didn't want to be the only one driving since my fiance cant drive a 5 speed. I wish I'd bought the TRD instead, but I love my car.

I said goodbye to my 2005 TC a couple of weeks ago and hello to an FR-S. I have some extra keys.
Anyone interested in recutting/reprogramming for your TC?

Congrats on the purchase of the FR-S. I was about to buy one but I have a second baby boy on the way. So no go since the back seats in the FR-S are only for decoration purposes only especially for rear facing car seats. So I ended up with the 2012 tC.

Default Hello!

Hey everyone! My names Sean, I'm 23 from Indiana and I just picked up my 2008 Flint Mica Auto tC last Wednesday. Only has 32,000 miles on it, and I love it. I am coming from owning a 2000 Black Auto Celica and I don't think I could be happier with my choice. So far all I did was put on the Enkei Super 7's that I sent to Wheels America where they were refinished and powdercoated hyper black. Originally the wheels were on my Celica, but I didn't sell them with the car.

Future plans: Paint the calipers next week (I'm thinking black, any other suggestions?), shorty antenna, tint, coilovers, new tails (although these are kind of growing on me), custom exhaust, HIDs, LEDs, custom gauge cluster, and interior changes.

Possible plans: Spacers, cold air intake or short ram intake. I don't know what else just yet.

Probably no engine mods just because I drive like an old woman.

I look forward to absorbing as much knowledge from you all that I can! Here's some pictures of my car.

Just picked up my first Scion tC. It's a 2005 5-speed with 88k. Coming from previously owning a Jeep, I love it!

I plan on either painting the rims black or picking some black rims up, upgrading the head unit and get a system, maybe lower it an inch, and I don't know what else quite yet.
