Ok guys, finally, here are the pics of my M Power body kit installed and painted, there was no sun so the pics might be kinda dark. I would like to send a special thanks to Heru from Street Concept(my sponsor) for making such a great looking kit and paying special attention to our fellow Scion owners needs, great job Heru

. This project took about 3.5 months, but now that I see the final results, I can say it was all worth it. Let me know what yah think, but please keep the critisism constructive, thanks. I will post more pics in the following days, I still have to install the fog light inserts, fog lights, blaked out grills(hopefully Heru will be getting these soon), CF eye lids, MOMO racing seat, custom dual exhaust muffler and CF trunk(hopefully they will be in stock soon), anyways, here are a bunch of pics, enjoy:

Here's the hood Heru sells:

Here's some pics with the roof open:

This pic is to show you how low the front kit sits from the ground, I don't know how to read these things, so how much is this? 5.5" of the ground? I have 17" wheels with the same size tires as stock and TRD lowering springs.

here's where I'm planning on putting my dual exhaust set-up:

yeah I think the kit looks pretty sweet like the custom design, you thinking of mass producing it?

Thanks and yes, its beeing massed produce, but not by me, by my sponsor: Street Concept, you can find everything they sell for the tC here:
Street Concept's web page

I know hes taking orders now, but not sure how soon these kits will be shipping out.

and i think it'd look good if you painted your hood.

you do realize its carbon fiber right??

wouldn't wanna paint over that


otherwise.... the front is way better than the back.... what is up with being able to see the control arms on the back? fugly... [/b]

Thanks and no, I wouldn't want to paint over my CF hood. Once get the blacked out grills to put in those holes in the back, it should cover all that stuff up.

nicee, i like it, i was thinkin bout the same kit also.
i juss have a couple questions
where did u get it and how much?
how well did it fit on?
does it original grill fit?
and wheres ur exhaust rite now?

Thanks, here you go:

where did u get it and how much? Street Concept and it was free(sponsored)
how well did it fit on? its not 100% perfect fit, but it will do the job.
does it original grill fit? no, but it will come with a blacked out grill.
and wheres ur exhaust rite now? the exhaust is under there, but they had to cut the tip, because it got on the way of the bumper, that's why I'm getting a custom exhaust system done, hopefully this weekend.

For those of you that just liked one half of the car, thanks anyways, I rather have a kit that's half liked, then fully hated, he he

I like it, however, I'm not a huge fan of being able to see the cars frame through the kit. I do like the design though. Very angular.

You can't really see it anymore, the body shop sprayed painted with black in that area, so you really can't tell whats in there. Besides, once you get the mesh grills painted in black in there, you won't be able to see jack.

I would like that tC better if those bumpers were removed, and something that matched the contours of the rest of the car were put in their place. Also, having all the portions of the car that are normally painted (e.g., the hood) actually match each other would be a big improvement.

Sorry you don't like it, can't please them all.

what are the two gaping holes in the rear bumper for if thats not for the dual exhaust?

You could use it for the exhaust, but its more work if you want that set-up, they are mainly for looks.

Don't like the rear, don't like the unpainted hood. Reminds me of a primered Honda hatch. CF takes paint just fine, and leaving it with the weave showing almost always looks ugly IMO.

Rear looks RICE. Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. Without the rest of the stuff you need it just looks taque. Maybe if the visible part behind it were painted black it wouldn't look so "added-on" and not part of the original fit and feel of the car.

I like the design of the front, but again, it looks unfinished. Black behind the openings would be good, or some kind of grill work to hide the view of the raw chassis would be nice.

Sorry you feel that way, by the way black was added after these pics were taken(grills will be added shortly), so it look alot better now, I'll post pics later.

I like unpainted CF hoods. Post pics of the kit when you get the grills in. I think a lot of people will change thier opinions for both yay and nay.

I will, just as soon as I get them.

beat u to put the grill in

and ur bak with a really bad exhaust

Pritty good man, but I don't remember my Lic. plate saying that, he he. I'm going to have to use your pic of the exhaust for when I really get it done, so they'll have an idea, thanks.

Nice job vteckiller. I really like that rear bumper for some reason. I wonder if you can just buy that alone. As you can see by my new signature, I'm trying to improve my photoshop skills...still moving forward.

Oh, and what is your name vteckiller? or I'll just keep calling you vteckiller.

Andre'

Yes, you can just buy the rear only if you choose to, by the way, nice sig.

the back to me looks like it was inspired by Ferrari... i would definately buy the rear bumper and get dual exhaust (once i go FI on my tC though) and then see if i could have a better front molded to look like a 355 or 360 ferrari....

just my $.02

That would be interesting

Back on topic... I think some CF eye lids (or paint matched if you paint the hood) would be F'ing hot IMO.

Don't know if I would do that, 2 reasons I'm getting CF, 1:weights less, 2:looks good, so painting any CF parts would not make sense to me. I'm going for the CF look, 1st the hood, next CF eyelids(which I have to install, but can't until I wash my car) and lastly CF hatch. Who knows, maybe CF fenders and a CF dash kit, I know, I know, I'm CF hungry, but that's my taste.

is it just me, or do the wheels look a little to small for the body kit?

Yes they are, but don't have the $$$ to get bigger ones right now

you couldnt pay me enough to THINK ABOUT putting that on my car

Everybody has their taste, theres some kits out there that I would have never put on my car either, but this one will do for me just fine
