Default My intro to scionlife!!!

So I have been posting on here for a little while now and getting to know some of the people on here and just thought I should introduce myself to everyone. So here we go...

My name is Drew Carter, I'm 16 and in highschool. The tC is my first car, and my social secur...errr too much info. Lol. I'm a sarcastic guy and its hard for me to take alot of things seriously. My car is my baby and I love taking care of her and modding her when I get the money. Alot of people ask how I mod my car being 16 but I just do alot of stuff on the side for my nieghbors (mowing lawns and washin cars) when I'm not working and I just save up and get what I want.

So far I have...

Exterior:
1. Pedestal Spoiler from thespoilerstore
2. OEM style halo fog lower grill
3. VRD upper grill
4. Painted Stock Rims
5. Tinted OEM tails, TBL and side turn signal
6. Vertical Doors Inc. lambo door kit (not installed yet)
7. Oznium underbody LED kit (blue) and 8 Flex LED's in the engine bay and grills.
8. Painted red calipers (counts for me )

Interior Upgrades...
1. Pioneer HU w/ sub controller
2. Bazooka 10" w/ custom enclosure
3. Custom interior painted white soon to have custom white suede panels
4. Shift boot for my auto...I loveee it
5. Blue LED in the footwells

Performance Upgrades...(just started this category so its a small list...ok tiny)
1. Tanabe Concept G axle back exhaust

Coming this summer...
1. RS1 full lip kit
2. H tech lowering springs!!! I need these badddd
3. 35% tint all the way around
4. Injen CAI
5. Anzo halo headlights w/ 6000k mobilehid.com hid kit


Please everyone let me know what you think of my car...keep in mind its a work in progress and I'm 16 so working on a very slim budget...thanks for looking and can't wait to meet some new people!!!









And this is my fav. shot from the shoot...



Please leave me some feed back and remember the drop is coming! haha

Props man for working hard on the side to save some money for your car.

Overall, a nice and clean car! And x2, nay on the lambo doors. Not really a fan of it plus the risk of eventual warping/bending of the door pillars. But if you already bought them, just make sure they reinforce the area it will be bolted on.

Good job!

I have a top notch guy that works on alot of import cars, and is licensed to do everything on the lambo's and ferraris and everything which requires a month long class in germany installing my doors so they will be top notch. I know alot of people don't like them but its just something i've wanted for a while and when i finish the car they will flow with it...thanks for the comments though...keep em coming

Looks great! Yeah its hard to mod when you are young. Get a job and put every cent into the car haha. Thats what im doing.

Oh btw dont do 35% all around. Do 5% in the back, 20% in the small side windows, and 35% in the front windows. It looks alot better. If you could do 20% both in the front that would look even better.

No panda coming, don't really feel the carbon fiber look that much, just a really clean head turning superwhite tC. However, I am doing the white and black them just not going to the panda.

Also I was wondering if anyone could try and photoshop Axis Crux onto my car, the black ones...that would be awesomeee
