Stock w/ 12 Miles on the ODO. added some autozone fogs. Yea yea this was my first car to ever mod haha..





Then decided to paint the stocks since it was a cheap mod.





I wanted some sound and power lulz so purchased an INJEN CAI & HKS Axleback





Got a raise at work and decided to buy some Umnitza Predator Thin Line Angel Eyes





Got that shorty antenna since the stock one was way too long.



Too cheap to get real HID's so got some look alike HID's, bulbs -_-



Got that M3 lip spoiler too lol but it didnt last long.



Tinted the tail lights because i thought it was the "IN" thing



Finally lowered it with some TEIN S.tech springs and yes that was low for me at the time.



Blacked out the side amber lights in my headlights and got some fog lights.



Lamin-x film over the fog lights and some HID's now :D. Also made a custom badgeless grill & no holes for my front bumper so I got a license plate relocator :D





Picked up a JDM front lip and took off the yellow film and added 6000k HID's for fogs for more blindness for oncoming drivers :D.



Then got sick of the 6000k and ordered 3000k for more JDMNESS! ;). Also painted the front lip.



Picked up a rear lip and painted stocks to bronze :/



Got sick of painting stocks so got some wheels yo! MB Weapons w/Rays lug nuts.



JDM Bug bit me again so I painted the front lip black and got a CF hood from the lady :D.



Got chosen to be the top 20 Scions at FD.. yay :D



Also got a CF gas door woot ^_^



Sold the front lip and wheels and painted my stocks AGAIN purple :/.



Then picked up this bad boy :D Weapon-R 4-2-1 racing header! Only to make my car sound like shiz. Also a TSUDO down pipe ( not pictured )



Picked up an OEM front lip and was stupid broke so just left it black.



Got a hold of some money and painted the front lip.



Got a bonus and picked up a few things! Full third brake light meaning the whole brake light, lights up since the stock one only lights up in the middle (weak), CF B pillar applique,
TWM Stg 2 SS, Weathertech n channel visors, Elemental designs sub, Pioneer Avic D3, and a oem rear lip and put some tint on my tail lights.. Oh and a CF exhaust shield.
SORRY for the HUGE pics . Mods please if you can make them smaller?















Went on another shopping spree and ordered a Megan Racing c-pillar bar, INGALLS 4 point trunk brace, Progress rear sway, CF trunk garnish and a DME cooling panel also polished my valve cover & a cusco front strut bar.











Got tired of getting highbeamed by oncoming drivers so I decided to do a custom retrofit.
Specs of the retro are:
-BMW E46 Shrouds (non reps)
-Acura TSX Clear Lens Projectors
-Phillips 4300k OEM D2S HID Bulbs ( ones used on luxury cars i.e tsx, lexus, etc )
-D2s Adapters









Mounted projectors





then got the shrouds and and put it back together ( sorry dont have pics of the whole project ) Believe it or not me and 2 of my buddies finished this in 1 full day.









and the cutoff



Show 4 A Cause Last Summer 09



Some random rollers





Then i started to realize hmmm it's hard to stand out in the Scion Community up here in the PNW if you're going for the same exact thing as others header, intake, exhaust, rims blah blah blah. So I decided to get some B+G RS2 Coilovers to go lower.





Hellasunk status!




Sold all the suspension parts and front lip and rear lip and some. and bought some SSR Professor Sp1's in SBC finish.
17x7.5 +43 all around (weak status) with fatties 235/40/17! from (thekevin)







picked up some Projec kics r40 neochrome extended lugnuts to add some bling to the rims







tried to go lower and roll my fenders and FAILED..



So i decided to go WIDER, well not so wide. SSR Vienna Dishes 17x8 / 17x9 +24 all around. (ihavenosn's rims)
not knowing i would be rubbing so much, i added 20mm spacers in the rear and 15mm in fronts. I also sold the CF hood because to me it through off my theme..





I had to camber the rear a lot and also went lower.



Then came the sticker madness got a wink mirror and all the fatlace, illest, and everything else i could find that was a sticker..





This is when Mr.Gilbert noticed me while I was doing a shoot with my buddies..













Then came my CIB feature taken by Mike Gilbert :D. After that feature I met all my good friends now.. Yall know who you are!

Few months later finally got rid of my CF trunk garnish and got a badgeless one and some new LED tail lights.



Also picked up an ARC intake down in CA and then went back down again for SOTU to pick up something else ;)



Before Stance Of The Union I picked up a rear lip again and a front lip.

On the way to SOTU



I felt the need to go wider so i picked up some Work Meister S1's 17x8 + 15 F / 17x10 +10 with spacers that is.. From blktc <3 :D





Dishes were in the back during SOTU since I picked up the Meister's :D


Threw a 20mm spacer up front because the fronts were too sunk for me see :/
Before:




After:


Picked up a Kaminari Flush mount spoiler ... Ill get pics of that later once my buddy gets done editing his pics. but heres a rear shot for you guys..







Sorry for all the weird sizes of pictures but that about sums up my build thread for now. That was during the 3 years I've had the tC. Ill update this thread every once in a while :D.. Thanks for looking!!!!!!!

 

hey whats up man! didnt know u had a account on SL! lol ur car is looking nice! havnt talked to u in so long! how u bin?

 

 

Blacktrdtc - Hey man! I'm good and thanks!

Meatrocket - .

 

when you had the Work Meister S1's 17x8 + 15 F / 17x10 +10 did you have to do anything for the 17x10 to fit in the rear end.

 

Yep roll,flare,pull, and cut some of liner and also remove the bolt that holds the rear bumper in.

 

Awesome car! Where did you pick up the badgeless trunk garnish?

 

^i got it from another member actually it's a stock garnish filled/bondoed and painted.

 

Awsome build Mark....Wish I could take those wheels of your hands!! One of my all time favorite cars

 

can you go back to the purple stocks haha and the autozone fogs..haha looking good mark..its always nice to see the journy the car takes..i dont think i ever realized you had done so much to the car..looks damn good man..i need to catch up and do something..i just seem to change my mind bout things like every 5mins haha..going to pick up some of those cheap drag wheels and roll those for a bit..

 

Think I met u @ Asylum...? always thought nice ride

 

mark, your car is basically my inspiration. straight up.
this is my absolute favorite tC, and has been since your CiB feature. keep it up man, it's some good ____.

 

WOOT WOOT lool

 

Mark is the man!!! Nice progression dude!!

 

It looked best right around the time you got the CF hood.

 

WHO WANTS SOME MEISTERS?!?! hit him up.. lol

 

hook me up! lol

 

I love this car. I wish I could rock 17's.

 

Why not?

 

I meant, I wish I could pull it off.
I think certain 17" wheels look small on the tC. You're rocking them hard, though.
