Well ive had my tc2 for about 3 weeks now. Ive done a few things so far..nothing too serious just yet but i have a lot coming in the near future! So far its just Tinted windows, Painted my stock wheels, Licensce plate relocator, and "M3 Style trunk lip".

First Day at the dealership! woohoo! stock!


Didnt even wait two days to put tint on her! 5% on rear/ 35% on front


A few dats later i attempt to plasti dip my emblems..ehh i really didnt like it that much so i kept it for a few days and removed it. Will probably redo them at some point with real paint. Time will tell





Took me 2 attemps to get the wheels right! The first time i missed so many spots! So i removed it and re did it.(Plasti dipped them)..eh not so bad i suppose! Now i wish i would of kept my emblems dipped. I hate that my car looks 4x4 right now! lol Almost considered cutting the oem springs for now! but ill wait for the aftermarket ones!





Got my licensce plate relocater! i like it so far...still have dealer tags though. haha




"M3 style trunk lip 46.5" I think it added a nice touch!





i know she is dirty from the rain


Thats all for now but future mods:

-Tein S lowering springs
-Injen/Descendant CAI (undecided)
-right now i like the sound of the HKS axelback but im still doing research on the exhaust
-Im a huge fan of the xxr 527 wheels but at the same time i like the 522s so im still undecided.
-I was looking at weapon r header but ive read about some fitment issues with that so still doing more research on that as well.

More to come ! Any opinions/input are welcome. I just wanted to share what ive done so far

 

Nice I've got the xxr 527 but would have chosen the 530 if I didn't have to wait.

 

I just checked out the 530s..man they look great. Might have to consider those as well! Thanks.

 

The main dilemma that im facing is that its very common to see a black/gunmetal wheel matched up against this car. I really want to get a wheel color that no one else really has but i dont want it to look too crazy. Colors ive consider; Gold, White deeper chrome lip or even a possible red with deeper chrome lip.

 

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am 99% sure we have another AF guy here!

 

check out the dezod catted header, you can find the thread by searching

 

yeah I am in the Air Force stationed at Ft Sam. I just pcs'd here from Incirlik in Turkey.

Thanks ill look into it

 

For the cai go descendant.

The injen intake is known to just trick the maf sensor

 

Interesting! Thanks for the info

 

the AEM intake should be great too, I will be getting it as soon as I have funds.

I would say either aem or descendant, prob more of a looks preference than anything

 

did u get your lip from ebay?

 

Nice ride! Good color choice!

 

yeah i did

Thanks twin! haha

 

What he said!!!

 

Thanks!

 

If and when you get wheels that color is def something you could work any color with. Id do something to give it pop like deep purple or even nice deep blue like that volks blue love that color

 

yup. nice color just like mightyP said!

and just like kidjustin said, go descendant CAI.

header? try waitin for dezod cat header...

welcome to forums...

 

Good idea. That deep purple sounds pretty nice! Might just have to buy a particular wheel and have it painted to my liking...hmm


Yeah i checked out the thread on dezod. I might just hold off for that! Thanks!

 

Just ordered my Tein S Tech lowering springs!! Pretty pumped about it! Im going to attempt to do the install with a buddy. I hope it all goes well. How hard can it be? lol

Is it bad im doing all this to my car and i still have dealer plates on it? lol

oh i also need some input on this. I decided im going to go with a 18x8.75 +20 stretched on my stock tire. I know it will fit of course...im just curious if its going to poke too much and not be low enough? if that makes any sense. Any feedback is appreciated.

 

check out jtk2 build thread he is running that exact size wheel, looks perfect imho
