XR2003 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 I'm assuming that's yours? Nice grille. yes it is, installed it last month. It matches the TRD CAI I have. I noticed the Matrix forum is dead, so hopefully I can liven it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XR2003 Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 Just to let everyone know, I am on Scion TC rims (17s). The center caps are from a Toyota Prius (dealership item) and they fit perfectly flush with the TC rims. I didn't want to sport the "Scion" name - even though Scion is under the Toyota brand. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Scion's not bad...I think the TC is kind of a cool little car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR2003 Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Scion's not bad...I think the TC is kind of a cool little car. I think so as well. Too bad that so many people have them now, especially in Southern California - too many @ssholes think they own the road here. Give Scion a bad name - IMO (in my opinion) Which is why I think the Scion TC is the Honda Civic of Toyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Probably. I'd still rather have a TC than a Civic. Wait...I'd rather have ANYTHING than a Civic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR2003 Posted December 3, 2007 Author Share Posted December 3, 2007 Thought I would post some pics from car meets: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Sweet! I'd post some, but most of my car meets aren't Toyota...I used to go to a lot of Supra meets, but I don't have a Supra anymore, darn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR2003 Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Back when it was OEM stock.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Better now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR2003 Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Better now... I think so as well. I think there is a fine line between show car and modifications. I am more on the daily driver side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Yes, you really can't drive show cars on a regular basis...the elements alone will detract from the appearance. And some of the modifications, while attractive, can actually hinder driving on anything but perfectly smooth, clean, dry roads. I've always been a fan of the stock look, with a not-so-stock drivetrain/suspension/etc. It's not so blatant when the police are looking for the car that just blew by them!!

XR2003 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Update! Dropped on Eibach Sportline springs: Carbon Fiber hood - OEM style: Didn't have hood pins to keep the hood secure, but at least I see what it will look like once installed.

XR2003 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Installed OEM fog lights sprayed with VHT yellow paint (still have the original foglights unpainted): and the last item, a TRD sticker overlay for the TRD grille in Black Carbon Fiber with white outline: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Looks good...I like the lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR2003 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 More pics of the light show. Currently using Silverstar bulbs in the headlights & Silverstar Ultras for the fogs. Had them on for almost 2 years now with no issues. Plan to upgrade to HIDs whenever the Silverstars burn out. Turn signals are Nokya "artic white". I thought about getting the turn signals from Silverstar, but I do not like the amber look for the turns. edited: Sorry the crappy pics, need a better camera.

You could always put pics in your album too... I know. Just trying to increase my post count. :P ;) edit: I am unable to load any of my images to the Gallery. I have tried both uploading straight from my computer & uploading images from a free image host site. The latter says "fatal error" and the former says to contact the system administrator.

XR2003 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Try resizing the images...I had to do that with a couple of mine. For some reason, it works just fine now. Added pics to my gallery. Most are the same seen in this thread. I might have to add more Matrix meet pics to this thread. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR2003 Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I was bored: Probably the last time, I'll have the Trix like this, more mods planned for this year. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
