cool but you know what I dont get? You probably spent mad money to get a different color when you could have bought decent performance mods.

Your tC has a nice "low profile" look. Yes the green stands out but at least you don't have a ton of pointless mods on it that say "Pull me over". The only things I would change would be the tails, the amber/orange blinker bulbs to chrome ones, and to tint the side reflectors on the headlights. (These are all fairly inexpensive.) Maybe after that look into the 5 Axis or OEM lip kit. Just my opinion. Good job overall.

Everything but the strut pillers and inner walls. Rocking different color bays is kind of the in thing outside of the scion bubble. It is the only part not 100% color changed. Sorry to bring my filthy Honda trends to my tC

I think it was super street who even did a thing on this not to long back.

To be honest I almost went with a black bay then decided wtf leave it white... Cheaper and it contrasts well with the color.

that's cool as long as it's intended I've seen some body shops just get lazy and forget to mask things like doorlocks and hinges. paint looks good.

I spent 0 on the paint project so I turned out pretty good on that.

This is built for my girl and she doesn't need aný more performance other than the basic bolt ons.

i like the color a lot

i agree that you need more low end cosmetic mods to support the paint though

...you also should loose that awful switch lanes decal, i hate those things

but again sweet color
