One of my best friends just moved to Oman...........AND I AM JUST REALYZING THAT HE CAN SHIP ME PARTS FOR ZELAS!!! WOW.

 

im jealous. i want that zelas spoiler

 

Im getting the whole car dynamated tomorrow ~84 square feet of the material.
Did u notice any improvements? Where did u apply it?
Im mostly hating the roadnoise and getting the thick pads.

 

i did the entire car, minus the floor. did notice little less road noise, but really didnt pay much attention to before/after. i just always do it with my audio systems. i have 2-3 layers of dynamat extreme on doors, rear speaker area, and floor of hatch, 1 layer in sides of the hatch, with 1/2 inch dynaliner on everything, 2 layers on hatch floor

 

Scion202, just be ready to make adjustments possibly

I have personally seen parts for the Japan tC2 that DO NOT FIT on the usa tC2...minor things really but enough to make it not look right

but other that...I really hope things work out! maybe u and ur friend can be a distributor selling to us ScionLifers! haha

 

We'll see how it goes!

 

Plasti Dipping:

 

Nice guess I know what I'm doing next week

 

Haha me too, the passenger side. Unless i can get off work early and do one wheel a night. The apartment complex i live in prohibits working on or washing cars so It's a pain in the ___

 

im not hating...but when i first saw ur red valve caps...i was like wth? waste of money...

but now with it plasti-dipd..the caps REALLY stick out and match the black/red exterior look (black car + red tail lights)...good job!

how many coats?

 

I was thinking about 4 but did only 3 which seemed excessive as well since the first coat was very heavy and covered everything. So 3 seems like a good bet.
For the inside of the wheel I used just one heavy coat

 

The plasti-dip turned out well. Nice to see another black tC with black rims. I was getting tired of being alone in the black on black struggle...

 

maybe it's just hard being black? (no racial)

 

Yea I had seen yours 2 it looks great the only reason why I didn't do it after you was because I was going to get some aftermarket black rims but I've changed my mind so I'll do this insted

 

It's really hard to mess it up and if you do it's fixable and if you get tired of it you can easily remove it.....so to me it seems a must have, especially with a black tC. My parents asked me what I've been up to and I said I was painting my wheels and they were "Oh no don't mess with that and the stock looks good" but when they saw the final result they were speechless haha. Matte Black looks incredible, now need red calipers....

 

It is hard lol. It attracts bad things....
It rained 4 a couple of days here so it looks okay for now

 

inna dark:

 

Is it just me or the spoiler doesn't look very attractive in these:

 

Some folks dig that style spoiler. Some folks love the OEM one. Some (like me) just want a basic Lexus-style lip spoiler... with a built-in backup camera *drool*

need more coffee

BTW those black rims do look nice. need to get a few cans of the OEM SW so I can dip my wheels and try to color match them

 

same thing happened to me when I plasti-dipped my emblems....everyone, I mean everyone....parents, girlfriend, friends, girlfriend's uncle...was like DID U REMOVE THE EMBLEMS FIRST? DID U PUT THEM BACK ON RIGHT?...then after explaining plasti-dip/how it works....DID U COVER EVERYTHING UP?...then after again explaining that plasti-dip peels off...ARE U SURE?...then after finally showing them...they shut up
