Well then you wouldn't be driving a tC my friend

 

lmao well yea. whats the point of all of these great mods if by the time i am done I have spent another 10,000+ when i could have just bought an Evo or STI brand new.

I guess these are for the diehard tC fans who want to kill those performance cars with a FWD that looks dope.

 

Back to reality for a second:

This is a Lexus CT 200 headlight - it looks a lot like our headlights. heck the whole front end looks very similar to our cars.



What caught my eye was those LEDs at the bottom of the headlight - that long strip at the very bottom. I am sure there is a way to replicate this on a tC. I have seen people try to do this and it comes out like this:

pretty darn close, but i assume the headlight has to be taken apart by baking and i'll have a mess on my hands if i attempt this.

I also planned on replacing the head lamps and high beams with ~5000K HIDs.
And as a unique thing I was thinking about bulding in red halos/LEDs around our main headlamp, not a whole ring but with breaks in the middle like this:


I will likely skip on the red halo idea because it would look bad on a stock body w/o a wide body kit and turbo backing me up

 

google Chocolate Love Scion tC

 

o wow. they must have used the Lexus front end or something, that car is great.

 

Did a mock up in paint. doesn't look half bad actually..
what do you guys think?

hey TC13, what do you think about the Lexus LED strip at the bottom of headlights? and the random Red halo lights lol?

 

I like the halo if the would make a complete circle. Im not really into the Lexus LED strip looks out of place to me.

just noticed that. is it the two red and blue thingies connected to the longer intake there?

 

Ya one for nitrous other mite b for fuel not positive. From what I understood u used a wet kit on the intake runners not the intake pipe

gonna get me a TRD exhaust

gonna have to figure out how to clean it first though - it will be used.

 

I absolutely love mine...get it!!

 

it is in the mail
any idea what to use to get the old gasket off of it? there's bits of gasket stuck to the flanges. also how can i get a new gasket for that pipe junction?

 

Wd40!! FTW when ive purchased exhaust before it came with the necessary gaskets

this is a used one, it wont come with a gasket. where can i find one? i think its a toyota part right?
thanks! i was going to try WD-40

 

Just use the existing gasket you're using for your stock axle back. That's what I did. As long as it's not damaged you'll be fine.

 

ok I'll try. you don't think the existing one on there is melted onto the pipes right? if it is then i'd be in trouble. i'd have to clean two sides then.
