Wow usually these are like progress threads, you disappeared for a while and came back like BAM mofos look at my car now. Love it!!!!

yeah i started college and i worked for a bit and the forums changed so i took a break. ha

i was looking at your 1.0 and I LOVE IT :)



and to the guy with the sick 5.0

yeah i was talking about the factory body kit, i love it.


and im kinda a fan of the 08+ headlights but a guy around here tinted his tails and it looks dumb? but they are super dark. maybe a closer color to my car would look good? And yes my windows are tinted but not very dark dad wouldnt let me but now that i got my own cash i might go darker. :)

Wow bro, nice tc! I'm a fan of the rims for sure, probably the only thing I'd love to see is it lowered, that seems to be one mod that really makes a good looking tc look excellent. That and rims, but you already have the latter one down pat!

Automatic or manual, can't tell from any of your pictures? And are your windows tinted?

I know exactly what those headlights are.. and I was not asking how hard it was to swap 'em.. Done that. Many times.

What I was saying is that those headlights are not an upgrade. You just reduced your well balances, OEM headlights (the best ones on the market for a tC) to a basic reflector based junk.

If you like it, its all you. I just know that I was hunting for the 08+ headlights when I had a tC, and those were the only headlights i'd ever put on my car.

Oh, and nothing's wrong with automatic.

They are bad Chica. Lol.

And OP, I like everything but the lights. Like Foques said, they are far from a step up. OEM is the only way to go for our lights. I like the halo look, but unless you bake your lights open, put the rings in there yourself, and bake em back closed -- its not worth it.

They will burn out, and leave you all lopsided looking.

You dont need HID highs. I haven't even used my highs since I got my HID's, and now that I have fogs, I can see perfectly fine. Just get some Silverstar Ultras for your highs.

It looks like you have the stock lower. You can get OEM Fogs. The circular ones that replace your lower grille.

Really two choices.

Dezod

v.

PTuning.

There's more, but those are the most notable two.
