bam.
awful quality FTL! lol

 

was that ur old tc? u only has the rear lip?

ur new tc way better

 

haha yea, that was the old one, i had the whole lip but never got around to putting it all on, and its a damn good thing or the front lip wouldve been destroyed, lol.

at the end off the day im kinda of glad i got a "second chance" i learned alot from my first tC and have been able to avoid alot of mistakes with my second one because of that.

 

minus the wire tuck... lol jp

 

lol....thats effed up....

 

yea well if i got another tc, that would be a mistake i learned from this one. haha

 

yea it would be...

 

ehh, it wasnt to bad, i figured something bad was gonna happen and i was able to fix everything for $0 so im not that upset, lol. i was just without a car for a couple days...saved me some gas money at least,

its all good now and im gonna find somewhere else for the fuse box later when i install some goodies. :D

 

i was just kidding...
ive learned from my car too... 2 blown motors later from the S/C...

 

^^ holy hell.. how did you manage to destroy 2 motors? lol

 

Im sure it had alot to do with TRD's FANTASTIC product :/

 

well if it wasn't due to abuse...then Toyota should've covered it.

 

I'll have graphite rims soon (pretty close to FM) but I'm leaving the center caps...yes, I'm lazy...besides, my lugs and valve stems are silver...

 

Meaty! how are things hangin' Vegas style?

and what's the best grit you've found to prep the stockies for paint? Im looking at doing mine soon too

 

i did mine with 400 grit first to get it off, then went over it with 600 grit, then with 800 grit, for reassurance :D shoot some primer on them WAIT to dry, then a few coats of your desire paint color, then cake on the clear coat for shininess and protection.

at least thats what i did

 

^^ thanks man.... good to know... stock finish isnt bad... just wish Toyota would've made the finish a little harder than melted butter. lol

 

lol well my bronze wheel paint held up REALLY good, my blue paint has been good to me so far, but then, i've rarely driven on the blues here lately... gotta put them back on tomorrow...

 

^^ well I have other cars...but my tC is my baby....I ordered and bought my new 2008 tC project nearly a year ago..and have modded her a decent amount....and still only have a grand total of 3,500 miles on her in almost a year....but have been looking to mod the stock wheels...especially because the stock finish is so soft.

 

psh.
mr.professional over here.

clean, sand w/ 400 grit, clean, paint, clear, throw em on and go! lmao

 

ok hoodie.. lmao... are you going for a NASCAR pitstop here for prepping and painting stock rims? lol
