i drive a 2005 scion tc, its classic silver metallic.

and unlike most scion owners i like my car dirty and unclean. the
more crazy stuff that says its mine the better.:biggrin:

it is modded lightly engine wise, moderately on the exterior, and
heavily interior wise.(but not like tacky cloth crap, gutted)

my car is what i enjoy a go kart for me to play in, i enjoy it a lot.

i dont take myself seriously, and even if your driving a Lamborghini i
feel we will get along. but respect is that if you refuse to give it dont
expect it "even if your ride costs a lot". but if your cool with me than
we are cool and that's that..

enough with the talk. (listing mods will take a bit so heres the pics.)

http://www.nwtuner.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=91&pictureid=782
alrighty, this angle shows these mods.

debadged hatch garnish, painted graphite to match my rims and harness bar.
my 08 tail swaps
xxr006 rims painted graphite, and custom made accent decals (for a one off oem look)

and fun fact, this bumper was ripped halfway off at english
racing during a charity dyno event. apparently my car was
the only oops they have had, lucky me.....but it was for a
charity cant complain.

sadly i was the only low hp car to go to a charity event....wtf?
really i mean it was a charity to help a kid get money for hospital bills.

and i was also the only scion to attend......BALLS! BABY!!!

http://www.nwtuner.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=91&pictureid=804
my amazingly average and in no way stunning dyno graph....lol

so i drove home and had to make new aluminum mounts all around
for my front bumper, repair my paint. and than me an my friend erik
straightened and re welded the spot welds that had been ripped open
by the dyno straps when my car almost slid off the dyno machine....lol

gotta love being charitable sometimes... hahaha and after the work
you cant tell it was ever broken.

(all in all english racing was working very hard to make money for that kid so i understood.)

http://www.nwtuner.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=91&pictureid=788
more about my stupid headlights, i modded them
on my apt floor with a screwdriver and a box knife.....lol

My XXR006 rims. they used to be black with a chrome ring.....ewww.
i bought them because my friend had them and they were cheap with a full set of tires.

$300

so i do what i do to everything....i filled nicks. sanded primed them with self etching primer.
and went to town with graphite rim paint.

you would be amazed at the damage that can be repaired with simple putty
paste. elbow grease and a little bit of awesome! KACHOW! PAPOW!!!!!

PEW PEW...lazer noises!

and i made oversized xxr decals for the rims (i wanted an oem look.)

(crickets, and silence)

http://www.nwtuner.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=91&pictureid=789
a rolling pic taken by my friend nate before the rims were painted. on the freeway
northbound in front of the tacoma dome!

one of my favorite rolling shots of my car ever.

http://www.nwtuner.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=91&pictureid=790
cf hood my forum buddies bought from a friend "used" for a Christmas present. they all
chipped in bwcause i like to help other people a lot .since i used to work with composites
and paint my own crap and a hobby (no poo jokes) i prepped the hood by sanding it,
used some vinyl as a mask. and than sprayed it with vht nightshades to tint the outer
areas, removed the masking and gave it two more coats.

haven't seen anyone else do this. its cool because even in the dark areas you can see the
cf weave through the tint. i hope to get a better hood and do the same thing. but right
now i'm happy with it.

(also before i installed the hood pins vtr gave me for Christmas...wayne rules. and great shop)


engine boltons/mods: (ill take pics soon) nothing great just a lot of small supporting mods..

-megan racing headers 4-1, wanted mid/top end hp more than bottom end torque.
-EBAY CAI with another Ebay bypass filter. i got a fujita emblem from a friend and slapped it on.
funny how parts whores cant tell the difference without a label....slap!
-CAI bypass filter water shield, made from aluminum, detailed with demon head design on bumper.
-DEI header wrap, silicon sprayed to keep ambeint heat soak at a minimum.
-Hood spacers from lowe's hardware, a no-no to scion e-thugs. but to any
other forum group a valuable cheap cooling mod....lol go figure...
-Torque dampener, yes it does help.
-sweet ass billet battery tie down, and oil cap.
-custom art on engine cover.
-megan racing front strut tower bar.

i spent 60 dollars on cooling mods to remove heat equal to that of a new racing radiator.....
i dont care if my headers aren't shiny....i saved 350 dollars.

================================================== =======
update: new decal!
Okay so i designed a decal, its supposed to be confusing and make fun of jdm crap...lol

it works, and here it is.

http://www.nwtuner.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=91&pictureid=791

now here's where this jdm character came from (0:27 secs in....you will die of laughter.....lol)

That is good. All of us on here have our opinions but all that matters is the car owners opinion. All of us express our opinions but it is to usually tell you what we think and help others in the future.

no some shops (body shops) use a tinted clear to do tinting on tail lights. same principal as vht nightshades. just better results and way more expensive...

or were you asking about the vht stuff.

no its just a tinting spray clear and dark..

thanks jet, my friend nate took that fisheye pic during the 2010 pnw scion poker run.

okay so i really never took pics of my cars until well the scion..i just modded stuff for the fun of it.

here's a pic of an old car i used to drive as a semi joke, after it had been t-boned by a guy in a buick i rebuilt the front-end and replaced
the fender, door, hood basically the supports and front clip.

also i changed out the strut assembly and decided well i didn't want a turquoise and half maroon car. so i prepped it masked, and primered it flat black.

got this dumb idea in my head to give it cheesy comic book style flames. which were sprayed on. and this crazy ass skull and cross bones...

like i said i'm strange....lol:cornut:

i did post my dyno sheet from that tyler backman event, remember its a charity.
i wouldnt be dumb enough to do a bunch of boltons and expect amazing enough

My only concern is that it is primer. Does it have any clear coat on it?

no clearcoat. i would love to afford it but i cant. it has two basecoat's of a self etching primer than the flat black paint over. if i could afford satin black and a flat clear i would have loved to do that.

but thanks a lot guys, i had it stuck in my head that it would look decent. i just had to convince myself to get it done....scary stuff.

Every time I see your taillights I think to myself that I want mine done the same way.

Was it hard to cut off the clear and then reglue it? the only thing I hate about the '08 lights (front and rear) are the stupid chrome rings. No chrome anywhere else on the car except those two spots.

they are heat welded together so i had to dremel them open....

before that i baked them...but no dice..

i would get a spare set so in case you dont have any sense
of self preservation like myself that way you can take your sweet time.

after you get the housings open its straightforward.

than after its lots of jb weld, rtv sealant and tears.
