alll my parts are on, check it out!!

[beyond305]

just got it back from the shop the other day, these dudes were idiots and didnt know how to do a damn thing. I mean like the body parts are on right but can you belive they forgot to connect the upper and lower radiator hose clamps? They also didnt wire my HID's right. Luckily when I looked under the hood to see wtf was wrong i noticed the hoses. Went back and *****ed at the shop owner because I know that **** was done on purpose so that I would come back and have them work on my car again. ****ers . Thats why i hate other people working on my car . but yea check her out.

car sounded a like a peice of crap so I reset the ecu and all of a sudden she purrin like a kitten. crazy ! the mid range power is rediculous! I love this damn car, just want a stick instead of auto.

Nice! Yea I tell myself that to " wish I got stick instead of auto" but what can you do. Me and some of my friends are tryin to figure out what engine I could swap in when I figure it out new engine and tranny hahahahaha!

congrats on your car bro! looks really nice and clean! keep that engine bay clean too! sorry about yor bad experience with that shop. it seems like there are more of those out there than good legit ones.

[Josh[btw]]

looks awesome man, how r the headers, what kind are they? lovin the hood and the painted engine cover.

[beyond305]

All parts are from ebay, even the hood.
proof that just because something is a little cheaper than the next product it doesnt mean it crappier quality. Everyones out there paying 600+ for a hood, my hood was $450 with shipping included! Full Cat Back exhaust, $100! its stainless steel, 2.5" piping and 4 inch tip. 4-1 ceramic coated headers, $50! theyre great quality too. Even my bad ass headlights that everyone likes came from ebay, $150. lol i got like the ebay scion.

[TBITB]

lol the ebay scion! that's cool!

i just hope that that stuff lasts ya know. i know you can get good things from ebay. and "knock-offs" can potentially be as good as the big names.

sometimes, those companies will say "made of stainless steel" or whatever and it is --- partially, or less than that of the big names.

im dont mean to put a damper on your excitement, i definitely hope it works out cuz it looks good!

Looks great, And i love the headlights. Is that hood just a black hood, or a CF?

[Josh[btw]]

Yeah man I love the headlights. I might have my stock ones customized. I saw this guy who did It with quad projectors and halos and made the turn signal on top with amber leds. And he paints the headlight the same color as the car. They look ridiculous. I need mine with red halos though. And I'm gonna red out my fog lights.

[TBITB]

quad projectors... here's the link to a tC i saw in person - this is one site that does them Scion - CustomLightz - The HID Retrofit Specialist

and here is that tC at the NY Auto Show this past March...




the quote i got from them was about $1600 including a new set of headlight housings. they do halos as well as you will see at the site...

[beyond305]

$1600 are they out theyre damn minds? thats halfway to a turbo kit! the most i figured would of been like $500.

[TBITB]

i think its more like $1200... i added a little wrong (very bad at math!).

even $1200 is a little inflated cuz i added a new set of headlight housings and HID's

Which shop was it by the way? Hope that yor ride is back together correctly. Can't see the pics (server won't download them). I wil try to look at your Member's Ride thread.

[beyond305]

it was this local shop over here called Electro Bake. I think it was a scam so that I would blow my engine and have to pay them to fix it lol a buncha loosers over there, but yea check out the pics in the members ride.

[navylife59]

Finally got to see tha pics. Looks like she's coming together nicely. Sorry that ya had trouble. There are alot of knuckle heads out there that talk it up but then just end up screwing up. Had the same problem with my own Scion dealer when they originally installed my S/C. When ya get ready for your next big mod, maybe someone on here can give you the name of a reputable shop.
