It makes no difference is there is more blood sweat and tears in that car. It is garbage, it has no style, no taste, IT HAS BLATANT BODY DAMAGE, an intercooler WITH NO TURBO, wheels that DO NOT FIT, and a terrible looking interior. There is no professional craftsmanship in this car at all, and I would be embarrased if my car looked like this. Building a show car takes planning, and quality work, and this car exhibits none of the above. I still do not understand how HIN allowed this car to be in it. This car show is supposed to be the best of the best, and this car honestly embarrassed Scion.

how does it have no style and taste? does your stock car with a factory option lip kit have more style!?!?

and why on earth do you keep saying the wheels dont fit, they are tucked perfectly on the car!

of course i saw the brackets, why else would i have commented on how CRAPPY they look.

If the wheels fit, they wouldnt be pushing the bumper off the car. I saw the car coming off the trailer and I was watching the wheel push the bumper off.

regardless, the bumper is cracked and they decided to do the riciest thing possible; use stickers to cover up the huge crack.

the car is crap dude, just accept it. It has a bunch of mods that werent planned well and werent installed well either.

I have to agree with quietthings. car was poorly preped and setup. The carpet was scattered with dirt. Car had a full stereo setup in the rear, so it wasn't a race car or anything, so no excuse for the body to be damaged. its in a national competition not a local dealership show.

exactly, just because it has a lot of blood, sweat, and tears behind it does not mean its show-worthy or that it has more taste and style than even a factory car. i could spend countless hours attaching a cardboard body kit to my car with gold rivets - that doesnt make it any cooler than when it was stock. id rather look at a mostly stock car with nice wheels, lip kit, lowered, and tint than to have to see such an embarassment.

Wow... that car is HORRIBLE.

There is no reason a sponsor who cares about their image would let a car like that leave their shop! I've never cared for HIN, but this... is awful. Ghetto HIN or something? That might explain the crappy quality of that xD.

It looks decent from far away, but definitely not close up.

Yeah... this tC? The SEMA tC and the winner of Wild Scion at HIN Minneapolis in 2007?








TOTAL crap because it had a 2" long crack in the body kit the night it was unveiled. It was so low to the ground that when the driver crept it off the trailer, it cracked.

Sorry, I had to! hahahaha


Not everything is going to please the tastes of everyone else.
