Now to the information you all came to see.
So in 10th grade I decided to buy my 1st car, it somehow ended up being this baby. My tC. Was between this one and a flint mica with a shit fartcan on it and riced out the ass. Bought her with 50k miles on it, bone stock, very clean. (besides the previous owner being a smoker_

After having her for a couple months I wanted to do some aftermarket work to it. I had this great idea of some fast and furious style shit, as most tC owners to, with a huge exhaust, vinyl stripes, and neon lights.

Well thats about how far I got with those ideas....My good buddy (Jersh) had introduced me to a whole new world in 12th grade....the glory of Stance. As I researched on wheels, and some fitment perspectives in the tC world I didnt come across much, so I had added some little mods including a short shifter, a TRD Exhaust, some little interior nic nacs, a sub, Tein H-Techs (which were great, minus no lows) and FIG Badgless grille...the typical

Aftter fall settled and winter had arrived, I wanted some winter plans...I researched and researched for wheels, bu could not make up my mind...was thinking reps to learn, than figured that was a waste of money, and I went back and forth for a month or two. I decided than to get some new suspension before I went out and got wheels, just to get a feeling of what "low" really was.

And believe me when I say, I really thought this thing was low...=P....I than made up my mind on wheels, which Jersh pointed out to me.

Once I got the tires mounted and balanced, car aligned, I wanted new tailights (go figure...
)
IMG_1934 by extrem344, on Flickr
I liked them for awhile, but than realized I was going back to that "ricey" look that I had originally planned when I 1st got my car. But back to the wheels...After a few weeks of biching and moaning over "rub"
, I got my fenders rolled...but even after this, I wasnt "low".
IMG_1933 by extrem344, on Flickr
I than decided to take off my tinted tails, and went back to stock. With doing this I also lowered my car a bit, and added my tow hook (silly me....)

I decided that the tow hook was too much and I took it off. Around July of 2011 I wanted to go to some shows....my first show being a truck show, "Low Rollers End of Summer Bash". It was fun and had a good time, but wish there were more cars.

After we got home from the show I wanted some change, but still couldnt figure out what that was...so I went out and took some pictures.

and this bring us to today, when im thinking of what to do over the next few months to continue my progress on my car...not planning on selling it, although I have attempted to. My future plans are hopefully to get 3pc wheels on soon and some crazy fitment, that pushes limits.

This is where the wheels are sitting now and im in "Winter Mode".
My wheels are currently unmounted and heading to the Powdercoating location
got some plans for them for the spring, I am also working on my interior, which I will post up shortly when I get some shots.
Thanks everyone for reading/looking, and I will update frequently.
