I have to say, this red is just beautiful!

Why thank you. Spec D Black/Clear tails are installed. Will post pics soon.

What do you guys think I should do next. Dezod Green Header? OR Carbon Fiber Hood?

Tax times approaches.

I'd always put performance mods ahead of cosmetics.

Yeah, you prefer to keep it a surprise when you blow out a porsche.

<<---Sells Exterior mods (body kits, cf parts, etc).....Says performance first.

It depends on what your goals are bro; Im a huge performance guy (I race in SCCA Road rallies, do Street Legal Drags, Auto X, HSDE), but i do love me some CF on a red car....

What are the plans for that pretty little ginger you call a car?

Well, at the end of the day I want to do the header first. The sound is just wonderful and an emissions legal header is unheard of. The only reason I look to the CF hood department is because of the cheap crayon that Scion painted the car with. I've owned it 6 months and I have multiple chips on the hood I can see from a few feet away. The dazzling white primer that shows underneath is just an added bonus.

As far as the plan for the car. I'm aiming along the lines of the Orange 2014 tC from the Scion Tuner Challenge. Not those specific looks, but the overall track concept rather than dumped and fitted. Since I've already installed the tails I guess I have CF hood, Dezod Header, Eibach Sways and Boost until I'm content. Boost won't be for a few years though.

Well guys... here are some pics of the Spec D tails. Got them for $186 shipped off eBay. And both sides have reverse lights! Install takes about 15 minutes. Definitely do not use a metal screw driver to pry off your back panels. It will slip and scratch your interior. The farthest 10mm nut was a pain to get to and as everyone has said before, glue your gasket onto the back of the headlight. Fitment is neither here nor there. I just ignore the small gap around the outside.

Without lights on. Flows with the car so much better than all the red that was back there before.



With lights on. For anyone wondering if they are hard to see during the day. Yes, that is indeed a PBR can.

Go with the header. Dont swap your hood, and I'd keep your exterior mods to a minimum. You have a special release series color for a reason, best to keep it near stock.

Now, really - you should save up for the turbo. Just get it over with, and that way you can really enjoy some power. By the time you monkey around with all the NA parts, your 2/3'rds of the way to a real power maker.

I'd just keep the car stock looking, add turbo, and bust on some STI's and 350/70's. You'll get MUCH more satisfaction pulling on them from a dig, roll, and top end. You could also possibly make some money depending on how bold you are.

First set back with the vehicle. The passenger side tail light has condensation all over the inside of the lens. Not pleased. The gaskets that came with the set are glued on, but it looks like I've gotta do the oem gasket swap. LAME.

Things are about to get a lot louder.

Megan mid pipe on the way.

Dezod green header on the way.

Updates to come.
