Default My 2010 BSP tC

Hello everyone!
Just made my way over here from www.yoursciontc.com. I can always use more constructive criticism, so I figured that I'd join another forum dedicated to this car.
I do apologize for the one post and being gone for a week (in advanced), but I'm driving out to Brooklyn, later today. Triton Festival!
I am 21 years old, live in a small town south of Chicago, and enjoy doing fun things, of course.
Feel free to ask any questions, comment, bash, compliment, or recommend as your hearts desire.
I bought it in May, when I was home on military leave. I have just over 2000miles on it, and most of the mods, you will be able to see.

I've got a few obvious mods. I'll post them later when I have more time though.
I also have about 30 more photos, but not the patience to post them now.

Also, I'm really into detailing, hence all the reflection photos.

Enjoy!

2nd day of ownership

A little?

They shot themselves in the foot. If you post something that has been discussed before, they lock the thread. It's a dead community.

@ OP... Nice looking tC, great detailing.

Thank you all for the compliments on my detail work. I've got a bit cut out for me, after my 2,000 mile excursion to Brooklyn this past weekend. But it's enjoyable.

Coming in the next couple weeks:
TRD exhaust
CAI Intake
Stealth turn bulbs
Light tint on the tails, blacked out side mirror blinkers and full TBL
Interior LED swap

Big plans? Not so much. Maybe a set of rims come spring, and then after that it might be a little tweaking here and there. It's my daily driver, and I'm going to college come spring as well, so money, isn't endless here. (Unfortunately of course).

Picture Dump. Part Zwei

Just a copy from my tread on ystC, so the same disclaimer comes with.

I don't have time right now to make sense of the pictures. So here they all are. I'm making no promises, as to whether or not they are decent photos.

I know I hate the front plate.
But I'd rather have it mounted where the tow hook would be, as opposed to having holes drilled into my bumper for it.
Ideally, when I take pictures, I should take it off. But that's far to much work haha.

Hello Neighbor :D lol
I didn't do it myself, a MOD from yoursciontC got me in with his friend in Arlington Heights. I can ask about it though.

Looks like you grew some hair on your head. Haha.
Be careful with the DRL's... the plastic ones melt...

Haha yeah. Can't even tell I'm in the military now!
And I've been keeping an eye on the DRL's. I made a road trip to brooklyn recently with them in, 17 hours of driving, only a few breaks. I figure if they ever have a problem, that would of been the time.

Not bad. Have you thought about zip tying the plate in the lower front grill? (Saw it on here a few days ago)

What part of IL? What branch?
