    I picked her up January of 07. Body has just under 100,000 on it and the engine has 25,000 on it.

    I've really enjoyed the car alot and hope to put many more miles on it.

    Picture below was taken last fall. Try and get more recent picture here soon.

    Nice ride! Looks great with the darker hood, is it carbon fiber?

    Welcome. I have to say that the color of your wheels gives your tC a nice look that extra ordinary. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Did you carry that color scheme else where in the car?

    I picked up the hood for 220 from a buddy that got his car repo'd sold it for 200. She desperately needs a lip! Think that'll be next. I've been putting money into my business so she'll have to wait alittle longer.

    I haven't carried the color scheme from the wheels into the interior. I change wheel color so often the interior is flat black and white. Think I'm gonna go back to safety orange wheels :p

    cars all dirty...

    mod list

    P-tuning 3" axle back (love the sound nice deep rumble)
    Progress springs (1.8 upfront 2.0 rear - improved handling alot)
    3 pillar gauge pod w/ glow shift gauges (after getting my new engine I was paranoid about oil pressure)
    6k HID (these rock nice and bright. ppl riding with me always go wooooow)

    Plans
    - Lip kit
    - race land coil overs ( living in Colorado the winters here require monster truck statues )
    - Turbo kit ( Haven't made a choice on what I'm looking for yet set up wise but, shooting for 300+ )
    - oh and oil change ( my light just came on :p )

    Love the future mod list. If I may make a suggestion, Raceland Coil-Overs are cheap and other members on another Scion tC forum have complained about them. If your going to go coil-overs I would save up for a better name brand set (Tein). If your going to go F/I, I would suggest looking into Dezod, or PTuning. Another thing to keep in mind, once you convert from N/A to F/I, your engine will require a thicker weight oil and adding gauges to pillar looks cool, but keep in mind your air bags are behind them, if you get into an accident, your going to have flying projectiles coming at your face.

    concern noted on the air bag behind the a pillar. I do plan on doing the above radio gauge pod thats up on the dash.

    The racelands are cheap price and not made for road coursing/digs. If i do pick them up they wont be on the car when it goes F/I.
    Im really leaning towards P-tuning. They amazed me with the quality of their axle back and their support was amazing. (i couldnt get the oem axle back off the hangers :p gave me a few pointers )

    I plan on keeping the car till it can give no more so everythings an investment in the butt dyno

    In a week or so I will finally have my Eibach Prokit Lowering Springs and Tokico Struts installed. After the suspension is done, I am going to concentrate on getting more carbon fiber accents for my interior and engine bay and get an alarm system. Not sure how much more mods I am going to be adding this year to the tC, I have a 1995 Chevy S-10 Low Rider/Custom Modified my buddy and I are working on overhauling. We'll see what happens. :)

    I'm actually looking seriously into the Ptuning turbo kit my my 09. I have a magnaflow catback on mine but it's made directly for your 3'' exhaust so it should be a great fit if you do decide on it.
