OP questioned his own choice so I'm thinking he might decide to do things differenly with this car than with the eclipse. In 2005 Tribal was cool and tribal car crap was the thing...it's not like he got custom airbrushed tribal graphics on the OUTSIDE.

Plus his wife HELPED him with this project...c'mon half you guys WISH you had a chick that cared about the car. Just sayin...

Is that a garter hanging from your rear view mirror?! not sure what to think about that....

Guess if you had to go tribal, make it subtle. Something like a matte base with semi gloss tribal graphics would be more appropriate.

I think the red carbon fiber wrap will really bring out the interior of the car. The tribal seemed out of place.

Yes, that is a garter on my rear view mirror......why does that even matter???? I love my wife.....since when was that a fucking crime???? The last time I checked what I feel for my wife has nothing to do with being a car enthusiast! How about you stay on topic jack ass!

So I ask, what's worse? making "questionable" mods or being an unoriginal sheep and making the same mods as everyone else?

And before you judge, keep in mind that there are a lot of us out there that think ridiculously flared fenders with rivets, big spoilers, slammed suspensions, cockeyed wheels, etc. look just as "bad" as anything the OP did to his car.

All that said, OP (and everyone else) if you're posting pictures of your mods on this forum you're obviously looking for feedback. Unless you just discovered the internet yesterday you've got to expect at least some negativity..

FRyeS: Thank you for being respectful and just walking all over me, I don't mind that people don't agree with what I've done, I can take criticism but its the unforgiving bashing that I don't understand. As far as posting to this forum, that was my mistake, I'm new to this website and I just posted the pictures on the wrong forum and now I'm paying for it by having every living soul on here bashing me and making me feel like complete shit.

indesign: Thank you for your kind words and backing up your fellow scion enthusiasts! Like I've said in previous threads, "we are all family on here and we have to look out for one another and help each other out"!

This was uncalled for in my opinion.
