Hi All,
Just picked up my 2011 TC2 on Saturday. My first import car, and I love it. I had a 2006 Grand Prix GXP with the 5.3 V8, but it slowly started to die out on me and random things were causing some headaches. I stopped by our toyota dealership with a friend for her to check out a car, and I fell in love.
I got silver, with the Alpine Radio, TRD Springs, and the rear bumper applique. I ordered the mudflaps and carbon fiber door pillars online, because it was much cheaper that way. I put a set of 6000K HID in the car that were actually the foglights of my GXP. Some more plans for the car include:
Injen CAI
Greddy catback (When it is released..)
Carbon Fiber Spoiler (When it is realeased..)
Tint
Foglights + 30000k HID Fogs
Rims of some type (I want he black konig afterburner, but they are hard to find)
10W7 + JL 500/1
Interior dressup (Sils, LEDS, Shift ****, Floormats)
The main purpose of this was to get a car that was good on gas, with a warranty, as my daily driver...turns out the car is fun as hell and not what I expected!
I also have a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT with several mods including new brembo brakes, springs, staggered rims, full exhaust, intake, tune, bunch of carbon fiber stuff, bunch of things painted..etc..Ill post pics later.
It feels weird looking at brands like Konig and Greddy since i've always had GM vehicles! (Wbody)

Welcome to SL.com! And if you find the Konig Afterburners in black PLEASE let me know who has them. I've been searching ALL OVER for them lately. Discounttiredirect.com doesn't have them anymore and when I emailed them they said they are discontinued = gonna be hard to find unless you pay $300 a piece for them, which is what I've been finding them for.

I dont have any new pics yet, but.
I have the mudflaps, b-pillars, fogs (with hid), floor mats, springs, radio, and i ordered the takeda intake from afepower. I think i might do the DR exhaust. I also tinted it, and for a system, I think I want something crazy loud. Thinking a single 12'' w7 in a ported box.

I had a single 12'' powered by a kicker zx1000.1 in my 2000 monte carlo, ported 2.5 to about 35hz. 143.9 verified IASCA. First place in my class by about 3 db, loudest in any street classes. I cannot even imagine what that would be like in the TC, the same box and all..zomg
