Hey guys!!! I just bought my very first car, Scion 2014, last February of this year. Now I'm still getting in to the hang of modifying it.

Now I'm just waiting for my HID Lights! I shall post it soon!!

Future Mods

• TRD Lowering Springs
• TRD Strut Bar (if ever goes on sale or find a decent price LOL)
• TRD Exhaust
• Header (crossing fingers)
• HID Lights (Any headlights modification)
• 19" Aftermarket wheels
• JDM auto folding side mirrors (If I actually get time and parts for it)

First Day



My girlfriend bought me these door sills as a present for my new car. She wanted to get the illuminated ones, but It was hard to find one that ships here up north that time.



Then moved on to plasti dipping the front bumper as well as painting the calipers! (Thanks for my girl friend's patience and painting skills)



Then finally got an intake (k&n) (First REAL engine mod)



I also installed some custom lights, because they're cool!



FINALLY ABLE TO INSTALL THIS!! I was going to put this inside the headlights but I think it's okay from where it is right now

I really enjoy those turn signals. Where did you get them?

Scikotix

I got them from this site ; http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Sequential-...s-p/35-332.htm

She painted it with brush. I made her do it since she has more patient than me ahahha.

congrats on the purchase! she looks great so far, I have the K&N intake as well, i love mine...better the weapon r i had on before that, it sucked! and anyway, how are you liking your K&N and did you leave the snorkel on? I got rid of mine a while ago and realized that K&N wants you to keep it on, hence the little slant in the heat shield next to the battery and I do recommend ordering your HID's from The Retrofit Source, they are pricey but the quality for their component are top notch and their customer service is fantastic

Scikotix

Hey man! thanks for the support! I will hook you up whenever I have some questions!

Scikotix

Thanks man!! Man, my intake was a good buy in my opinion! I felt the difference between the stock intake and this one. It took me a while to install it since it was my first time doing it. I took out the snorkel since I thought I won't need it. I swear I thought the slant part was just for more "air" coming in :D:D:D but I guess not!! ahaha.

Thanks for the suggestion! They do look like a very legit site even though its a lil bit pricey. I just have few questions before actually getting them. The light bulbs for my car is 9006 right? And what's the difference between the 2 ballasts in the selection as well as the 2 harnesses.

DK_007

I'm pretty sure tC's 2011+ use H11 bulbs!

yea, but based on this thread https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=224114 they said that H11 won't fit, thus they bought the 9006's. :/

G5_TC

^^^ that is correct, stock lights are 9012.. but you need 9006 HID to for it to work, also need to shave a little bit down too. But H11s work for fog lights though.

Finally able to install the LED strips!! its sexy AF

Delorean2006

the led strips are so subtle but agree they are SAF!

You can email Matt with any questions from the retro fit source. I bombarded him when I needed parts to retro for my integra. And they have quality parts that they inspect. Also car looks good, does your lower fourth light blink and then go solid when you hit your brakes?

Welcome to the Scion fam! Definitly loving the turn signals and I can't figure out it works...like are the arrows implanted inside the mirrors or what >.<

they sit behind the reflective coating on the glass, but are bright enough to shine through.
