Yo whats up guys. I just decided to join the forum after looking a few threads. Im a senior in high school from MIA, Florida. I've had my tc2 for a few months now and have done a few things to it (not alot)

Basically all I've done is paint the rims including the center cover piece as well as the lugs and calipers. I've also added a 12" sub in the back smoked the tail lights.

So basically just wanted to say whats up.

Heres a few pics:







You can see the tail lights in this one

 

hehe i just joined here today too..different sn on cstc.com(scion2011tc)..still like your white tc2 and the tail light tint job!

 

lol yea i have my account on cstc.com also but this forum is much more active.

 

I believe you are a first with the painted mag lugs...neat! And I haven't seen Audiobahn in awhile man...good stuff. Welcome, and nice job so far.

Next upgrade should be springs to get that bad boy lower man. I must admit I didn't do my springs until about a week ago (I've had my car for almost a year), but I am falling in love with my car all over again every time I see the new lower stance.

 

Thanks alot bro. I should be getting the mirror turn signals tinted tomorrow at my friends shop.

 

That'll look sweet with the white/black theme you've got going...look forward to seeing how they come out!

 

Yea im having trouble contacting the guy right now actually. Might get it done next weekend instead.

 

Check out bluebatmobile.net.



Go with those, unless your friend is going to do them for free.99

 

yea im getting them done for free

 

Good deal!

 

Yea thats why im not in a rush.

Um, did you tighten them in a star pattern? as in:

1
3 4
5 2

Do that over and over and over again, making the #1 position a different nut each time. Definitly do this BEFORE driving to the shop, and if you do this, more than likley you will not need to go to a shop at all to tighten them.

 

Dang it, it dident show up right

1
3 4
5 2

 

I quit! Hopefully you understand what I mean. I have been the passanger of a vehical that lost a wheel at 60 MPH; due to not using the "star pattern" method when he put his wheel back on. It is so very far from fun, and totaled the car.

 

oh god.. and i saw the star pattern on the email (looked what like what u wanted there). thanks a lot. im going to do it when i wake up tomorrow morning. learning a lot of good stuff thanks to this forum. looking forward to keeping this hobby up throughout my life!

 

Welcome to scion life! Nice ride. Can't wait to see what else you do to it.

And this hobby is very nice but also very expensive lol.

 

big ups for the red lug nuts! very cool

i'm searching for a white set for myself....i'd rather not paint it. oh well

 

Just so you know, you always start with the bottom lug for the star pattern.

 

Welcome!
