i don't have HID's..i heard they were hard to fit in with the projector headlights...but i could be wrong...i just have HID look-a-likes from eurolights..nothing close to the real thing but way better than stocks

ground_assault

yup took your guys' advice and looks way better thanks!

Well ground it's a work in progress my advice only my opinion not being harsh see if you can trade your taillights for 07's then trade your hood for an Oem carbon fiber style. Switch your rims for black or bronze type color and drop your car with springs. eventually you might want to tint it. The overlays look good though

Please dont take this as me being a dick, but:

07 tails should be next, you can find those cheap all over. the rims, i like the bronze, but silver would look a lot better.


otherwise, looking great!

Car looks good man. And I have to agree that the 08-09 tail lights are not the best on our cars. (I have them too)

But as for the HIDs, they are not hard to fit in at all. It is as easy as swapping out the light bulbs. Very easy mod.

But a lot of people worry about the cops, blinding people, squirrel finders and the cut off.

Keep up the good work.

don't worry i consider everyone's opinion..i've learned that if you build a car to please others you will never be satisfied because there is always someone who won't like it...i prefer building it to my own likings but i always put into consideration of what other people think..because i also know that i am still a novice at this..but first things first..these are my plans to do before i decide if i really want to change the things listed from other members of the forum..

1) body kit..most likely kaminari or equivalent in style
2) supercharger (only because it's legal here..if not then i would go turbo)
3) carbon fiber interior (any interior pieces i can find)
4) g35 spoiler (i know i'm gonna get flamed for this lols)
5) nst pulleys (alternator and water pump )
6) apexi ws2 exhaust (only because everyone wants to know what it looks like and sounds like..i'm so curious i'm going to purchase it..probably the first thing i will do before the rest above)
7) white faced gauges
8. video head unit
9) tailights maybe anzo? or 07 (depending on what you guys think not too particular on that one as long as it ain't chromed up and baller lols)

anything else is should do?

koolaid305

what brand intake is that ?

ground_assault

just a generic one off ebay..that's all i could afford back then when i first started working..(i was making minimum wage) now i can afford getting a better one but decided not to because i'm satisfied with the intake..and besides i don't want to spend 200-300 dollars on an intake that is still illegal..i can't find the intake that is legal for my car..there is supposed to be one made by TRD that is carb legal but can't find it anywhere but it is listed on the CARB website

Ro_Ja

That's because it doesn't exist. It's only for the xB. They were going to release one similar to the xB intake for the tC (with the enclosed filter), but has been placed on the backburner due to budget cuts throughout TRD.

ground_assault

that sucks...yeah i was planning on getting a trd intake then just making a fake carb sticker..but then i decided that i'm going to go supercharged down the road so i'll put my money else where thanks for the info

ninor9

Completely agree. Love the wheels on the color but think the hood is a little too much. Then again, that's one humble opinion. Love the wheels though.

ground_assault

thanks for the complement..you are the first to say you like the wheels on this color..most people don't like it..so thanks again! i'm going to have a bodykit down the road and if it still doesn't look good with the hood then maybe i'll swap it..but then again it can be used to cool down the engine when i get a supercharger..so who knows lols

ground_assault

just got the apexi world sport II exhaust:
