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:

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.

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.

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.

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

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
