Hey there! I'm new to the forum and got my 2012 Super White tC about a month ago. I was previously driving a 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS, but after driving it for a few months I started feeling like there was a lot missing. So I went and test drove the 2012 tC and ended up leaving with it! The only accessories I got with the car were the rear spoiler and the fog lights. There aren't many mods that I want to do to this car because it's so sexy as is. But I will definitely be hooking the exhaust up when I get back from deployment. Other than that the only things I'm even thinking about is either going with some pink accents or sticking with the black and white theme, I can't decide. Anywho, I'm looking forward to meeting and learning whatever I can from yall!

I thought the same exact thing, I loved the car when I purchased it. I had no intentions of modding it. 3 grand later and could spend another 10K on her easy. Welcome and we appreciate what you guys are doing for us.

Thanx for the warm welcomes! And I'm sure even though I'm saying I won't mod it I'm sure I'll find things to do to it.

Dude I ordered one of those things forever ago and never received it haha.

Exactly the same as my car which I picked up 2 weeks ago! Congrats! I upgraded the Stereo completely. Rockford Punch 400-4 on the doors, JL 500/1 on the JL 10" sub in the hatch. Taking the interior out this weekend and sound deadening everything with Stinger Roadkill Extreme and Stinger Vinyl Foam backed sound barrier.

Also added the Toyota OEM mud guards (dealer wanted $239, I got them for $45 and installed them myself in under 30 minutes (easy), perfect fitment to protect the paint from rock chips. Also looking at a clear bra to keep the rock chips off the front, have clear 3m protective tape to add to door sills and rear bumper at hatch area...

I want to do LED Driving lights on the front on the bottom of the grill but having a hard time finding something that will fit and is of quality, still looking at options for that project.

welcome!

haha That's awesome! I've been thinking about replacing the door speakers, but that's pretty low on my list of things to do since it really doesn't sound bad at all. And I've also thought about replacing the CD player since it'd be super easy to do, but I actually like the way this one is set up, so we'll see.

At the moment the only two things that are at the top of my list are tinting the windows and putting exhaust on. After that then I'm going to have to start saving up because I think I want to put a body kit on. And I've also thought about powder coating the wheels since I actually really like the ones that came on it. So we'll see, there are a few things that I've been thinking about.

Congrats to you on the new buy as well, I see we have similar tastes in a sexy ride! ;)

Hey thanx! I had no clue they had it, but I googled and found it. We'll see if mine actually comes in! haha

If your car came with the Pioneer Premium Stereo (larger touch screen) then you also have pioneer speakers in the door which are fine and you can put an amp to them and they will sound amazing. I'm running a Rockford Fosgate Punch 400.4 to them and they handle the power with no problem. The pioneer premium head unit has rca outputs for all channels so you can add an amp for the doors and run a sub. Adding a 10" sub to the rear makes a huge difference even if you just leave the stock radio as is and don't have the premium head unit still ad a sub. I have to order the cargo cover here soon as well... I have heard the one they make for our cars sucks but it's better than nothing I suppose. I was thinking maybe it can be braced or maybe take it and have stiffer material added to it... We'll have to see once I get it.
