don't waste your money getting a paint job dude...put it towards school or in a CD account. build some interest and then later you can use it for school and what ever. just stick with FM

yeah...i think its a better decision to not paint your car. you can just scratch it all up and let the insurance company pay for it for you...hehe...

don't listen to me...but if you do...i didn't say anything.

$5K? on paint? get something a little more fun like.........A TURBO! or at least the trd supercharger. I think painting my car is the last thing I would do with $5k. =)

I didn't know you could use a special edition color like that, because if anyone could paint a car that color whats so special about it yanno? I mena I'm not saying you can't do it im just shocked that it can be done. Anyway, with 5,000 dollars I would not choose to repaint such new paint allready since it allready looks nice. I would use it on some smaller medium priced mods that will give an over all improvement that you would other wise be missing, or if its looks your into 5,000 will go a long way in looks. (tint, lowering, wheels, etc). I wouldn't be offended by some people being jelious of you getting a new car from your parents becasue their parents didnt get them one, its just envy and nothing more. But you should really appreciate what they have done for you, I know I think about it now and then and see it as a pretty big chunk of change regardless of wealth.

Hey, if you got the money, paint it. Don't listen to these guys. Do what will make you happy. Hey, show some before and after pics if you decide to paint her. If I had that kind of money, I don't think I would have bought a tc though lol.

getting your car painted a factory scion tc color for $5,000 is not worth it. do something crazy if you're gonna spend that much on a paint job. do a nice 2 tone or something.

drop about 2500-3000 on a turbo 300-400 on a painted lip kit, 200 lowered, 1500 rims/tires, nice cat back, the rest of it taking out fine females in your pimp ride
