I got my tC as possibly the first 08 in Massachusetts. Originally it was FM, now it is BMW's British Racing Green with a gold flake. I've done a little bit of everything to it, with much more to go.

5.12.11 was my first day of summer being back from school, a girl cut me off and i was forced to avoid the accident by driving off the road. With 2" of ground clearance my car wasnt a fan of the 4" curb...or the stop sign...or the fence. $8000 worth of damages and it is being fixed as we speak. The good news - she was cited and now her insurance is being f-ed, while my car will come out better than how it was pre-crash.

As close to stock as it gets:







finally some exterior mods - swapped a stock bumper for an ait knock off





AND DT9 Designs was born!














WHEELS!

DOES THIS COUNT AS ROLLING FENDERS??????

Geesh! to the Temp. Death pics...

What are you planning to do now?

What color Green is that called?

dhj517

Making the car as it was, but fenders are being rolled and any and all body work that needed to be done from where people have sat on my car, opened doors into...you know...where dick heads messed up the whip. are being taken out/repaired.

basically it will just be a much cleaner version of what it was

and its BMW's British Racing Green with an added gold flake to lighten the color a little

Interesting color. I would say lose the body kit and get a lip kit instead. Best of wishes to you and your project.

You're supposed to roll the fenders the opposite direction. Nice try with the turn and curb jump method.

get a stock bumper and rs2 lip

hahaha, the new fenders will be properly rolled in the shop as its being fixed.

I went back and forth for a little bit to use this as my chance to go back to stock bumper + a lip - either rs1 or 5a, but I have seen it too much. I wouldnt be too interested in stancing my car, not because the look cause i love the look, but mass streets are way too crappy to drive with stanced wheels. so i figured it would look like a worse version of all the cali cars on here. thats why i decided to keep it a different color, different body, just different from the average tc

lol at "her insurance is getting f-ed" while an 8 k dollar claim is a pretty penny, there are much much bigger losses to be covered. lol.

I feel your pain man. I wan in an accident over the winter when some chick flew through an intersection and almost t-boned me. I had about 9k in damage and my car was just under the totaled mark.

Good luck with everything.

I like the paint job. I really do. I just get tired of how everyone has illest/stance-related/jdm stickers all over anymore. The other day I saw a stock height neon with konigs and the ubiquitous hellafatillstanceflushdroplowdope stickers allll over it. Yeah you lowered your car, cool. But its not "semi-flush." There's no such thing. Your rims are either flush with the body or they are not. End of story. And yes, like everyone ALWAYS says, "The roads in ________ are bad, so thats why it is physically impossible for me to put the effort in to stance my car." Bull____ing____, roads are bad everywhere. Either nut up and go low or don't. Idk, there's a thread on this over on WFC. I just get tired of how accessible and loose the terms "Stance" and "flush" etc are to anyone. It takes away from the REAL nicely stanced cars out there like Jona's or Spoony's or Kenny's or INFKT's or Jaewrek or the rest of the guys who are actually doing it right.

But thats my opinion, sorry if I come off angry, I'm not, I am just opinionated.

I'm out and off my little soap box.

dhj517

i can accept that. just so you know, semiflush is just a joke sticker. it makes fun of the fact that is there only flush or not.

The only thing i WONT give you is i definitely am low. My coilovers are dropped about 2.5-2.75" with the body kit. I can only fit my foot under my bumper for my ground clearance.
