Default My 09 FM

This is my new 09 FM tC. Some of you guys might already know me on scionlife or bBsquad. I already did a headlight/tail light swap and I am installing my Tein Basics tomorrow afternoon for a nice drop.

More pics soon to come!

Thanks ac3! Well the tail lights are self explanatory hehe, and I just wasn't feeling the projector headlights. Something about the way the older headlights look that I really like!

Pluse I made a lot of cash selling the projector headlights to a friend

After the coils are installed I'd like to get the Megan OE RS exhause, and then start saving for wheels. Not sure which wheels I want yet, but definitely a bronze, gold, or flat black.

skunk2 makes a catback for tC's as well...

many people go greddy. hks seems to have fallen a bit. magnaflow is pickin up steam. everything is pretty much personal preference in looks and sound since hp gains are minimal (like 1-3 i think). all those listed are of good, reputable brand names.

yes sir .. I used to go on youtube to listen to the sounds of intakes & exhaust
but that's not a really good idea because sum could sound REALLY nice but if the speaker quality on the camera sux it'll sound terrible

Watch your mouth about those taillights. I happen to love my tails and headlights.

well, they definitely give a unique look. they just appear like an aftermarket choice to me. maybe i was a bit harsh on them.

Thanks for all the input guys, I probably want just an axleback. I had the evo2 exhaust on my xB and I loved how quiet it was.

I still haven't installed my coilovers because it has been raining here and I have no garage. Tomorrow may be the day though, weather.com says it's gonna be partly cloudy.

I did get my S2K antenna in today and swapped it with the stock one. Lovin the S2k Antenna!
