Hey all,
I wanted to introduce myself I recently bought the scion at the end of march. I come from the land of lifted trucks and jeeps but as we all know the economy sucks and gas keeps rising plus the fact I just became engaged to my girlfriend I need to save all the money I can. So I sold my 2006 f-150 4x4 w/alot of mods on it and bought this. Well my truck wasnt getting the use a 4x4 should,cost me $100 to fill up the tank for a week, and my friend made me and offer on it I couldnt refuse.I found a 2005 scion tc w 57,000 and paid 7500 for it

So this is her the week I bought it

 

I know this this thing isnt going to be super fast thats not why I bought it I just wanted something good on gas and reliable plus its an automatic. The goal with my car is just to get it to a good stance nice wheels and it to look killer so here we go with the mods.

First mod was a new Pioneer AVH-P2300DVD reciever due to a messed up original cd player


Second was an injen Cai, lookes good except for the tube that goes in the fender lol!

Third Megan drift spec exhaust with megan midpipe

Fourth Tint

Fifth Rs1 Lip


I will update more later have to go to work!!

 

Looks good so far. Good luck with the build.

 

nice.........that exhaust can come up a bit more..i recommend getting a heat shield to avoid the bumper being burnt

 

thanks guys the person before me melted the bumper some already. did you make or buy a heat shield?

I agree on the exhaust coming up but I was going to get a rear lip soon and thought I might need to lower it later anyways? idk what do yall think

Also bought a set of hotchkis lowering springs for $80 off craigslist and a nst crank Pulley/belt and my fiance bought me a pair of bean garage's eyelids pics to come later

more shots of the rs1 also a shot of the tinted windows third brake light

 

Just got some pics of the Nia eyelids I recieved from bean garage!!

 

a couple more pics one of the keytechniques keyhole covers and dr.isotopes air diversion panel along with the injen cai, anyways on with the pics...




I still need to repaint and install the hotchkis drop coils and the nst crank pulley. Also need to finish piecing together the sideskirts and rear lip. I think im going with oem rear lip,but I dont know which side skirts though?

It may be a couple weeks for that as I just had to drop some cash on a new tv since the old one wwent out

 

Looks good. I wonder how those eyelids are compared to the bluebatmobile. I have the bbm's and I dont like the quality.

 

Did you paint both grilles? What did you paint them with? Looks great.

 

nice start, enjoy the car

 

@hayseed, so far the quality has been pretty good, color match was good, and even came pretaped for easy install after a nice wax it looks great

@10gxiong, I did 2-3 coats of duplicolor gloss black, and a coat of clear!

 

Nice. Did you just clean up the grille really well and start spraying? For best results, should i paint with the grille standing up or laying down?

 

yea just clean the grill really well I used alcohol, laid it down on the painting table and BAM! You cant mess up too bad unless you dont allow enough time between coats to dry!

 

Nice ride...do you plan on keeping the lip black? I am thinking of doing that with my RS 2.0, but I don't know if I'll like the look or not. Where'd you get the lip anyway?

 

Ur not gunna drop it brah?

 

@cop j, I bought the lip off ebay but they can be bought at alot of places online, eventually its going to get painted just want to finish peicing up the rest of the kit.

@ilovemoney, its definatly getting dropped brah! just need some free time and hands to do it

 

Oh i see.. Wat u plan on dropping it on? Btw... Car looks awesome man!

 

looks good thumbs up!

 

Just picked up the painted front lip here are some pictures




I know i need to put on the drop springs just been super busy
