My 07 tC, Supercharged
 
Mostly making this post for the benefit of Homeslice, who asked to see what the car looked like. Here's the baby!

Quick list of Mods: TRD S/C, Forge 007 BPV, TRD front strut tower bar, Hochkis rear sway, TRD axle-back exhaust, complete LED conversion, 6000k HIDs

And, she's currently over 105k. So proud. :thumbup:

awesome man! looks good. I bet hearing that whine from the SC makes you smile from ear to ear. the HIDS are cool too, different, a little too blue for my taste, but different is always good

Actually, those are LEDs in the housings, not the actual headlights. Here are the HIDs on, during the day.

Can you tell I like it when the car is wet?

I like everything but the TRD center caps on the stock wheels ;)

No engine bay shots? Come on now! Don't tease!

Homeslice 07-09-2012 05:58 PM

My engine Bay is Filthy, and I don't mean that in a good way. I may get a couple shots though for posterity, if I get some time in the near future.

The 6ks turned out to be perfect for my car. Not the hellish bright white of the 5k, but not the blue that you start to get above 6k. One of the mods I have been happiest about.

Is your licence plate a Bleach reference?

Indeed it is. Unfortunately, I've moved away from Bleach, so I'm debating getting a new personalized plate when I get the FR-S. Not sure what to get yet. Gotten plenty of thumbs-up from that plate, though, so overall, I don't regret getting it.

Haha, its a bad a$$ show, I dont really watch it anymore either but its still cool.

I was going to say, those 6000k HIDs look awfully blue...I think 6000k is perfect.

The car looks great btw, I love the subtle look. I bet you surprise a lot of people with the s/c:D

How do you like SC on small engines vs turbos?

Thanks alot, its good to see positive comments for the work I've done. To be honest, if the car wasn't so damn dark blue, I probably wouldn't have taken as good of care of her as I have :wub:

And as far as the S/C goes--I won't beat a Mustang GT from a stop, but its funny to see the look on their face for the first couple seconds when I'm keeping even with them
:lol:
