I traded in my 2012 Magnetic Gray Metallic Scion TC

Finally got my AfterBurner LED Ground Signal Kit installed.

Blacked out my headlights. I think everyone should do this, it definitely gives the car a much more aggressive look.
Looking like a hot mess http://oi40.tinypic.com/2u9hi75.jpg Headlights opened up, ready for paint http://oi42.tinypic.com/vg0ro3.jpg Painted the housing black (Left the high beam reflector chrome). http://oi44.tinypic.com/2zya3va.jpg Back in the lens http://oi42.tinypic.com/2ntutcm.jpg Back in the car http://oi42.tinypic.com/az99w8.jpg Before http://oi43.tinypic.com/al0tn9.jpg After http://oi40.tinypic.com/2jc974k.jpg |

yeh, I did realize that the shift knob and the clutch are too light, so I'm thinking of changing it too :)
|
Great to see another good looking firestorm. I have the VS front lip and removed the license plate rectangle but shortly after someone messed with it and now I have a small crack on it :mad0260:. I was recommended by a body shop that it would be better to replace it because since its frp that with time I run the risk of it cracking anyways so damn :(. I think TRD front lip is polyurethane so I'm thinking of going with that one.
|
I would have liked to do that, but the dealership had already drilled holes in the damn bumper :mad0260:
Quick question, how did the lip sit? It's not completely flush (does the bottom push all the way into the grill?) I tried some 3M tape, but there is barely any surface area for the tape to stick to. Quote:

Anyways this is how mine used to look. |
Looks good, did a good job removing the license plate bracket.
EDIT: *Looked good. Quote:
|
Yeah, thanks. I didn't expect it to be 100% accurate on fitment and I was ok with it because I wanted to experiment with it and thought that going with a frp replica would be a good idea but now I'm going original. Anyways, do you have any plans for some other wheels or are you going to keep the originals for a while?
|
Beautiful job so well!
|
Car looks great !!
|
I was looking at wheels a while back and really had a hard time choosing. I'm sticking with stock for now as I get married in August and have to save everything I bring in :sigh: So I just a have a few more things coming that I already purchased and I'm cut off :cry:
That being said, I think that would really help the look of the car. I painted them black and that alone did a lot. Quote:

You sir make me regret I did not get my car in red! :-)
I'm absolutly in love with the red and black look of your car, it just looks awesome. |
Car looks great! I've got to get around to doing some of the black accent trim I want on mine. Right now just too busy enjoying the car.
|
I think you're kicking ass enough in Switzerland not to worry about red vs white lol. But thank you - I didn't go to the dealership expecting to buy a red car.

Very nice! the black accents really set it apart from the rest.
|
I was gonna go for this look a a New Formula Red 2005 Acura nsx (5k miles!)with black int. I wanted black wheels, it's very beautiful color mix. Long story short, Canadian bought the car before I had a chance, car was in Vegas, it went to Canada, and got to totaled almost right away.
It's very sporty color tho. If u notice black and red accents a lot in sporty watches as well. This car is just pretty, just the way it's done up. Fine tune from here |
