well in my local area, no one, i mean no one that has a tC is modded, like i have said b4, i was the first to have a tc when nobody knew what it was and thought it was a 25k+ car.

so i know for sure ppl around here dont have my stuff.

to contribute.. id say my license plate number is pretty unique.. find me another tC with that bad boy! lol jp but i do have a few things...

JDM Alteeza Antenna (it matches the finish on the little knub thingy. its glossy)


my license plate cam. the middle part was a bit hard to paint so i skipped it. lol


chicks think this one is cute, and i havent seen any other tCs with it.. lol


i carry alot of gear in my car (im a musician and sound engineer) so i need a quick and easy fix to be able to take out and put in my sub woofer since our trunks are small.. 1/4" plugs baby!


and iono if this is really a mod or not.. but as far as i know im the only tC with this background on his nav.. the last time i saw it was on a delorean in the late 80s :whistle:


:D

the headlights are the stock headlights that have been taken apart and every piece painted by itself, you just have to bake the lights in the over for a little bit to loosen the seal and then you can open them up. Colormatched white paint with black sidemarkers....

as for the taillights they are also custom painted, i did not do the painting myself, i am a crappy painter

Joe, guitarguru44, does custom painting and such!

he can do alot more than that too, i am about to have my interior painted!

kudos, it really looks sweet.
so you haven't had any problems with condensation getting in your headlight once you took it apart? My seal was apparently loose and condensation got in there after it rained. Once it heated up in the Texas weather, it cracked all along the seal into the middle of the light
so, my first thought was to take it to the dealer to see if I can get it replaced under warranty. then I figured it may be a good time to start looking for an alternative to stock... but now that I know yours are stock... maybe it's still a possibility to have it replaced and try to have fun with it

Unique stuff on my tC:



I don't know if anyone else has my wheels (on a tC). I do believe that I was the first to do the tail lights like that. And I'm almost postive no one else has done a roof spoiler like that....yet. I've also yet to see pinstripes like mine.



The headlights are a result of boredom, tape, and paint.
