Wow...you're a dick.

This has to be the most self-righteous post I've ever seen on a car forum. Not only that, it's the most unnecessary as well.

Aznj, yes, your grill and yellow calipers are a breakthrough in originality.

If you're so hung up on keeping your car "original in your own unique way" why do you care about what other people do to their cars? Your post is extremely immature and shows insecurity.

Oh and BTW, I've seen a tC at a dealer in Delware with a grill just like yours with a tC emblem in the exact spot. It didn't have yellow calipers though, the car's owner is probably having trouble securing the patent since you probably beat him to it.

Uh no offense, but that grill looks rice as ____, sorry. When someone attempts to make a clean car, you tend to not put bright flash calipers, nor chrome emblems on the grill. You really needa jump off your high horse, when you do something completly custom, ie a headlight swap, come talk to me, until then remember custom doesnt come in a box, it comes one dremel cut off wheel at a time!

I will agree that the Emblem in the corner looks tight..but it sorta looks like you got bored and were looking at your screen door and said HEY I CAN PUT THAT ON MY tC!...sorry dude not working for me. The first picture looks cool with the blurry background i give you props for that. I understand if you want to be original..but try not to make it look so..."HOME MADE" if you know what i mean.

Well arent you special ??? LOL

Yeah, I like originality too... but you can still buy factory upgrades and then add your own stuff to make it original.... but I like the way you modestly (yeah right) put it in your post. Your car looks nice... but wow, you made a grill and painted the calipers... are you going to also buy some cheap interior paint and paint the vents too? Then it will look just like a million cars out there. Face it, no matter what you do to it, it has already been done. Stop worrying so much about what everyone else is buying for their cars and try to enjoy yours. This post was completely useless to the rest of us... unless you were trying to stun us with your grill fabricating or brake painting skills

gotta love photoshop.


it's obviously not drifting, it's not a rear wheel drive car. I was e-brake sliding/powersliding the car when that pic was taken.
First off... drifting is not only the RWD only rice sport where people uselessly burn the rear tires off their cars to look cool, it is actually a technique used in fast cornering and does not necessarilly need RWD to perform. And I must take the time to say that your post was nothing but self righteous drivel. As some have pointed out, your emblem placement is not original, the yellow calipers are definitely not original, and the grill looks like my screen door..... I normally would not take time to just bash someone ... but after you bashed everyone that is not as "original and talented as you" (yeaaahhh right) I couldnt resist. Now give me back my screen door

hate to break the big news to you, but the $1.50-home-depot-leave-gutter-guard-grille mod has been around for a long time.
