Happyhick025's pic thread (updated pg.5) 4/5/10
Well i've had my tc for awhile now, but never made a picture thread for it so i figured this would give me something to do...
When i first got my tc in 2006 i didnt know much about customizing things so i went on ebay and slowly started buying things. Some of the first things i got were ebay headlights and tail lights, ebay fog lights, trd exhaust, tein stechs, AEM cai, Nexen M-20 rims, and FIG grills. After about a month with the trd exhaust i decided i wanted the fart can look so i bought a HKS hi-powered exhaust with a megan replica midpipe.
Then i decided i wanted to do somethig with the interior. I ended up replacing the hvac leds to blue, blue guages, jensen headunit, two 12'' JL Audio subwoofers, blue leds in cup holders and under dash, white interior pieces, and white carbon fiber vinyl on the door panels.
Bought an air diversion panel off of a SL member
Sprayed my tails with VHT nightshade
Then got 6000k mobile HIDs
Then one morning i was driving to school and 4 deer ran out in front of my car. I hit one with the front of my car, which only popped my grill out, and another one ran right into the rear quarterpanel
About 2 days later i hit a possum going about 30mph and cracked my front bumper, luckily i got my insurance to replace my front bumper and the rear quarterpanel. While at the bodyshop i bought an RS1 lip kit and had them paint it as well as all of my emblems. I also bought some APT fog lights with 3500k bulbs.
I had my buddy's dad who owns a machine shop make me a license plate frame for the front tow hook. Also had my windows tinted (50% front and 20% rear)
A couple pictures i had from the 2009 Scion Exposed at Norwalk and Cedar Point in Ohio.
Bought some Strup headers and an Invidia downpipe. I put my stock midpipe back on because the rasp was obnoxious and it sounds great now.
Then i got myself some powdercoated XRC calipers, hawk performance pads with zinc plated drilled Power Slot rotors.
Bought a shaved hatch garnish off of a SL member as well as a full third brake light which i smoked out, along with side mirror lights.
I had bought a set of Raceland coilovers and ST performance front and rear sway bars, but being in college it took me awhile to install them. I also bought a cheap ebay front strut bar.
With Cleveland winter here, even though i don't plan on driving my car in the snow, i put my stock wheels back on which i had powdercoated neon green.
I decided to smoke out my head lights and bought some bluebat fog light overlays.
Sanded and polished up my valve cover
I bought some leather Clazzio seatcovers that i put on awhile ago but i dont have any pictures. Right now my interior is gutted because the vinyl on my door panels began to come apart so i decided to get them redone. I'm also getting my headliner and pillars done in black suede and i'm painting all of the pieces that were gray either black or white to match the rest of the inside. I'll post more pics when my interior is finished.

thanks for the replies everyone. as for the license plate, its still a little crooked like in the last pics,but i kinda like it cause it makes ppl look twice and think is that supposed to be like that? i could always straighten it in the future but for now i like it. as for the grills i could never really picture blacked out ones on my tc so i dont know. i could always take them off and powdercoat them a different color, but just not sure what would look good. i'm open to some suggestions on a color i'm curious as to what you guys think would look good.
no the fabric is a white carbon fiber vinyl. i got it from trimstore.com awhile back. i really like the look of it, but it took less then a year for it to start coming off of my door panels that's why i figured i'd get them professionally done now so i wont have to mess with them later.

looks alright but i think w/o tinted tails and headlights would look much better. also some black vrd grills, no pedestal spoiler and less stickers would make it look much cleaner.
