  • Reps to Real...07 Scion tC

    Hello SW'ers.
    My name is Harrison, I'm a college student/Marine Reservist in Albuquerque NM. No one here stances their cars, and a scion forum inspired me to do just that; be different and go low.

    Stock, before I left for boot camp. Came back 7 months later, and my fiance had bought me some craptastic Raceland coilovers. I had asked for them, because me in all my eternal wisdom had deemed a $300 coilover acceptable since I wasnt going to "Track" the car.


    Got pretty low, but I was still on all perches and on 215/50's on the stock 17x7s, so I was pretty high.


    To be fitting with my Raceland quality coilover, I went with replica reps, the good ole Drag DR-31 in 17x9 et17. Replicas of the Work Emo cr-kai replica, the Rota Torque. Cheap bolt on stance woohoo!








    Went to work on the interior


    Retro Projectors

    Then I started getting sick of the hellaflush culture. I ***** how ANYONE could do it and it was acceptable. Hell, I had reps of reps and I was proud. I started remembering how since I played gran turismo 3 I loved BBS wheels. Looked into Miros, but why get reps? Why get what everyone else has. So I bit the bullet and bought some BBS RC090's here on SW.


    They needed a lot of refinishing, but I figured I could say I worked for my wheels, didnt buy some bolt on ready to go Miro's.


    Got a deal on BC Racing coilovers since I did a review of them versus the crappy racelands. Night and day difference.


    Agency Exhaust


    Swift Springs for the BC fronts, to get a lot fucking lower.


    PC'd the Faces candy Purple. Please dont mind the centercaps, I had some sparkle clearcoat I was experimenting with. I am NOT going with that set up, its just the best picture I can get of the color. Centers are currently being painted to be a close match to the purple.



    Tires, Nankang 205/40's, and Adapters/hub rings were ordered today. Front lip coming as well. Hopefully be all done within the next two weeks. I cant find an alignment shop in town that'll take me so I think I'm going to try to get the toe done myself. Idk. Already had one alignment adventure and ate through tires so fast. But yeah. That's my humble submission to SW.

      I'm not sure about the interior

      Or the eyelids

      Or the purple

      Keep it classy please, over-done TC's are everywhere

      Sweet BBS the lips look great, did you paint the bolts?

        i'm confused by this whole paragraph. what is "hellaflush culture"? you're mad at people with reps, including yourself? you do realize that far more people on this site have style-5s than Miros?

          As a european i cant say much about reps but those BBSs def look hot! Ive read a lot of bad reviews about the rokkor coils so its good you got rid of them..
          Im not really feeling the interior though..doesnt match the wheels and looks like it needs to be redone.
          Other than that i like your car! Keep up the good work!

            Somehow I like the Interior but the purple wheels are a bit too much for me

              I wasn't talking about this site. I realize now on this site that style 5's are everywhere. I guess I'm more frustrated with the scion culture/forums where everyone has reps and real wheels are few and far between. Yes I had shitty wheels and acted like I was the shit for it but what I was getting at is upon seeing stanceworks I was inspired to take my car up a notch and actually get quality parts.

              The eyelids will be gone. Replaced with the same color silver ones as the car color. The interior is being redone after the wheels. And the purple, well I liked it but it's dark enough to where it's not too flashy.

              The bolts are painted, just black.

                ah, i see. i'm sure most of us have had questionable mods at some point. good luck making the car legit. the style-5s should look very nice on there!

                  Thanks! Its been a fun build. I think I'm gonna just do the interior with black suede and a hint of purple somewhere.

                    And yeah I'd advise to never ever buy rokkor or raceland products. They are pure shit.

                            Yeah I think I'm the first tc with these wheels. There's a handful, I can probably name them all too, that even run any style of BBS wheels.

                            Lol I'm not hard on myself just trying to make a difference in the tc world. Every tc nowadays looks the same with few exceptions. I wanna look different.

                            Tires, adapters, hub rings, and a front lip will be here within the next two weeks. Hopefully everything will be done soon!

                              And.... I am done.
                              Holy hell the BC's go low. I had to raise it when a pebble ripped off my bumper.










                              I Scrape over every little bump. A real shoot will happen next fridayish, my bro is a photographer so I'm gonna get some legit non iphone pictures.
