Hey d00dz
I live in Yorktown. Just picked up a 2010 tC in Flint Mica, sold my Jeep. Yay! I'm totally over offroading for a while. Just need a fun commuter car I can enjoy daily instead of driving to Pa to go offroading legally.
I'll do some minor mods, I just ordered a bunch of LEDs for the interior. All my Jeep aftermarket stuff will help pay for a home brewing setup rather than car stuff.
My plates are my username (for now)
I also chase snakes in the grass when I can and I play guitar, I'm kind of a metalhead, so my stereo build up will revolve around that.

Welcome man. Chase snakes fo'realz? My pops is crazy about that kinda stuff but he's in FL. He just caught a beautiful "pink" rat snake and caught a pretty nice milk snake (looks like a small coral snake)about 3 months ago. As far as the metal head thing goes, put the stock pioneer on "FEEL" and let it play... no headbangin' though, you'll set off one of 32,665,645,341,356 airbags in the tC. Welcome aboard man.

Yup, fo'realz yo! I'm prone to sudden stops along the highway and running off into the woods hehe. Your pops probably got his hands on an Everglades rat snake. They're kinda pink/orange colored.
Funny....this morning coming into work I was thinking about guys that put the gauges on the pillars and wondering "Do they disable the airbags in there or does it still work somehow?" So I alreasdy had airbags on the brain...
Thanks for the welcome!

Yeah thats the snake......as far as a-pillar guages go, i would hope they wouldn't leave the air bag , I'd hate to have a guage travling at the speed of sound hit me in the face.

In Midlothian/Richmond area. Just got my tC the end of July it's a white 2010. So far I've gotten tint, black enkei wheels, tires, short antenna, and different grilles. Looking into getting fog lights, HID and possibly halo headlights, and I want to change the orange color gauges to pink -- if anyone can help me with the gauge work (like you've done it before) or know of a place that will...PLEASE let me know -- I'll definitely pay!!!!!!!!! Thanks

If you wanted to drive to HR I know a guy in portsmouth that does gauges. Takes him about an hour to do the whole thing.

You would need to order the parts first
http://www.oznium.com/plcc-2 about 40 of these if I remember correctly (in pink of course)
and then 1 of these
http://store.garage1217.com/scion-tc...r-ic-kits.html
make sure to order for your correct year 05-06/07-10
his email address is Jrod1221@***.net. He's in the Navy and I'm not sure if he's out to sea or not. He does excellent work though. About the most **** person I've ever met in my life.
He has a website set up with his pricing http://www.freewebs.com/pollup/index.htm
