 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 :clap: :bow:. 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:

 I like the look of the kit, but to be honest I think that shop didn't do too great of a job. You can see a slight color difference, and it looks like fitment is a little off in someplaces, like the rear bumper on the quarterpanel and such. The kit itself looks nice, but I'd say something to the shop that put it on for you.

 Not bad

I like the front a lot. The back seems a bit big for my personal tastes, and the side skirts a bit to squared off compared to the front. Just doesn't feel like it flows right from the front with it's curves, around the side and the back. But to each their own, and congrats on getting it done!

Thanks, I know what you mean about the fitment issues, but I can't afford to leave it there anymore, I've recently moved to AZ and I've been down here for like a week now, I have to leave to AZ tomorrow, I can't afford anymore delays, its my only car and I need it to get me around over there. I'm planning on fixing these things myself(if you want a job done right you have to do it yourself), don't worry, I got them to give a discount because of this, there's no way I would ever pay full price for a job not done right the first time. As for the paint, it looks that way because there's no sun light, so there's alot of shadowing on the car, not only that, its a new paint job, so I'm sure as it cures it will match alot better.

 thats sick guillermo. you're just missing the duals and a turbo and intercooler. grills would definitely make it look alot better. glad it finally all worked out.

 I must say that the kaminari is still the best looking kit. those side skirts doesn't match with the kit bro, and also it doesn't match the lines of the tC, it's too sharp! front bumper seems to be not smooth and too big, but the rear bumper looks hot! like TigerTC said, the fitment and paint is not that great. Post some more pictures again when you're done with the grilles, it might add some more looks.

 ^^^What they said and I think it would make more sense to have the exhaust coming out of the huge outloets in the back. Also 20's would set off that body kit 100% better. Looks good though. Also smoking the head/tailights would look better too

 gwtc: I think it looks fantastic! Very nice. I just got my tC a couple of days ago, and wish it looked like yours :-P People, remember these are pictures and like he said, there wasen't much sunlight so don't rush to say the color is off (might be a cloud or shadow covering something up).

Dude...I also live in Laveen...around 43rd Ave. & Baseline....would love to check out your car!

 Ive been there done that kinda thing for me when it comes to Body Kits but props tho, I will have to see that in person and with grilles to appreciate the work.

As far as the exhaust, Dual is great but wouldnt it hang too low already. If its me i would cover the holes in the back and Hide the muffler inside. If with TRD exhaust just cut the exhaust tip from the muffler and weld one facing down. my 2cents

With all that attention, a supercharger would be nice.

 Sweet jimminy-jimjimz what happened to your exhaust?!?! your bumper seems to be covering it but other than that it's a very nice kit.. it should be dropped but im guessing you're gonna have to go with trd or h-techs or you'll end up scraping easily. and some black mesh to patch up all those vents would really make it look great

Thanks, theres really nothing else I'm planning to do to the kit except for the grills, fog light inserts and fog lights, the rest of the kit is staying like it is.

Thanks, I looked at the openings and ii looks kinda tight, so the exhaust tip might actually rattle with the rear beam and I don't think I'll like, you're right about the 20"s, but this is my dailiy driver and I would prefer 18" wheels, less weight. I've never liked the head and tail light smoking, I think I'll just stick with the carbon fiber eyelids and leave it alone, but thanks for the idea.

You promise not to laugh, I really don't know, when I got it done I told the guy who was working there that I wanted something that would let me see at night, in other words not too dark.

Thanks, I'm pritty close from those cross streets, tomorrow I'm going to be pritty busy, I plan on installing my MOMO racing seat and the fog light inserts. I do need to go to Ace hardware store thats located on Baseline tomorrow, I think its the shopping center where Target is?, sometime in the morning. If you are not doing anything tomorrow, maybe we can meet there, if yes PM me your # and I'll call you to let you know what time I plan on beeing there.

Thanks for the advice, I'm kinda playing it by ear, not really sure what I'm going to do yet, we'll see.

Thanks, I'm already droped with TRD springs and yes the exhaust is hiding behind the bumper, that's why I'm doing the custom exhaust. The mesh grill is getting done soon as well.
