Looks good but I agree the car needs a drop.

The 08 grills look incredibly cheap. Get some VRDs.

theres a dude with his 08 grill and made it badgeless.. it was niceee......vrd grills just dont do it for me....rs3 grill or 5axis those r nice...but im not one to pay that much $$$ for it....oh well ill live with the scion logo on my car..plus if i take the front off i will want the rear one off too and thats even more $$. so id rather invest it some where else. like those springs.

Yeah springs are definite. If you are wondering what a TRD drop looks like with the Super Sevens here my car for an example.



Perfect for me.

Oh trust me there is a huge difference from stock and a TRD drop. And yeah I painted em black, stech drop is too low for me since im in NY. You are in Texas, never been there but if the roads are good, go as low as you want. I honestly wish my car was maybe another half inch or so lower, but im happy with how it is. It helps that super sevens are 18", really shows the drop better.

Lol if you think a turbo tc is something then you havent seen alot of other turbo-ed cars. The tc just isnt a good platform. Sure having 250hp-300hp is fine, its peppy thats for sure, but after 300hp you just get wheel hop and its all down hill from there. It still cant hang with the big boys. But hey, if you plan on keeping the car for a while, by all means do what you want to it. A turbo tc can still be fun. I would turbo my car but im pretty much sold on getting the new Genesis coupe in the future.

just a bit of advice for your next photoshoot.

it is generally a rule of thumb to turn the wheels inward for shots taken at a 3/4 angle to show off the wheel profile. looking at a rim face is much more appealing than looking at a tire. great shots none the less, just my 2 cents of advice.
