This is my new 2008 Scion tC in Blue Ribbon Metallic. I've done some minor modifications to it (more interior than exterior) and I plan to continue to work on it over time.

Here are some current pictures

Brett, very nicely done and very clean Scion tC. I love the color of your tC and the interior paint matching the car looks awesome. The engine bay is very clean and well detailed. I also love the billiard ball as the shifter knob, great personal touch. I'm also loving the new grilles, eye lids and the blue 194 bulbs in the headlights. How was the carshow you attended with your Dad? Would you do more carshows in the future? I would like to add, I'm about as OCD as you when it comes down to cleaning/detailing my ride. I also find that a lot of people don't clean their engine bay as well as they could, cuz judges look for cleanliness and detail. Awesome job on your tC and gave you 5/5 stars. Stop by and checkout my o6 Scion tC, thank you! =)

lol thanks man i actually did mine with some semi gloss black paint, i gotta re-do it though, after cleaning and paiting it theres one or two sports that have spots where the paint didnt take, i already did it twice and nothing. theyre like bubble sized marks that wont fill. did you run into that?
