It will look nice! Except it might be the called the AE2006 since the tC looks like an 8-6 has FF, and I guess you have the 06 right?
Make it look right by using CF hood, using a lip kit, painting the bumpers, lip spoiler should be better than the one you have, paint the mirrors and door handles, drop it like the Akina 8-6, a nice JDM muffler, and copy the rims from the show gun metal with brake dust/asbestos LOL!, also don't put too much stickers except for something "JDM"
I can't wait to see it when your done!

tC's are made in japan, just not sold there
and ur tC could not be "JDM" because it is not a part of the Japanese Domestic Market (being that it is not sold there)

i never really understood the fascination with "JDM"...
but there is nothing wrong with what you want to do, to be honest, after i got my bsp tc, i kinda started to want a sw tc...for a good panda look.
but, as alot of ppl said, keep it clean...
just my 2 cents...do what you like not what others tell you to like =P
..even if everyone else hates it, ahah, jk jk...goodluck, post pics =]

You missed the door handles and your rims are way too big for a "TRUENO style tC" 16"s should rock that.
IT LOOKS PRETTY NICE, JUST A LITTLE TONE DOWN AND A LIP SPOILER AND YOUR ON YOUR WAY!

I like that last photoshop of the panda tc. Looks cool with the blacked out headlights
BTW from my understanding some tC's are built in the US (pennslyvania i think) and some are built in japan. If your VIN starts with a J it was built in japan, if A(or maybe it was U), the US. Thats what the local toyota folks told me when I called and asked about the side airbag recall for 07. My vin starts with J, therefore assembled in Japan, and the recall did not affect it.
Can anyone confirm that? Dealers lie like dogs.
