Panda_tc1 from Boston Area, MA

[Panda_tC1]

My name is George, I bought my 2006 Scion tC back in April of 2006. When I bought this car I had put my all into building what I wanted to be a full TRD tc. At the time it was possible until as of late where I had to put my car back to stock because TRD had made a horrible Supercharger unit. TRD has since discontinued the product. Long story short, I no longer have a supercharger in my car and am planning to go turbo or all motor if all goes well.
The major shows that I have attended are Hot Import Nights (2007, 2008, 2009), NOPI, Battle of the Imports (2007 and 2008, ScionVIP at 6 Flags New England (2007 and 2008, placed third for Scion tC), and many local car shows around New England.I am happy so far as to how my car has made it without a sponsorship, but I think there is still more potential and that my car can go over the top with some help.

My Full list of current car mods:

• Injen CAI

I want to go from start to finish of my car's life time with me and what a journey it has been

Few weeks later, powder coat the stock rims, put some fogs and get some HIDs:

I started getting more involved with hooking up the car, it was like an obsession, that all came to a halt 5 months down the road when I got into an accident down in Philly, PA. Some guy runs a stop sign and hits me across three lanes.

My car is down in PA for 2 months before I get it back, but when I do I start making more out of my car, doing gauge swaps, TRD short shifter, supercharger upgrades, tail light swap, and sound system with MTX Thunders

I get some more shots of the car with my girlfriend's sexy Infiniti G37 S, I replace my foglights and put VRD foglights with an HID kit and make it to Hot Import Nights 2008.

I go on for a year without doing any mods, I was where I wanted to be with my car at the time and I had old sparks to start moving on the car once again. I make some changes to the body putting the Full Kaminari Body Kit on there with the Adjustable wing, and throwing 18" HP Lightning rims. I upgraded all my speakers to Alpine S speakers and upgrade my supe to a single 12" Alpine type X, with an Infinity 1211a Mono-block amp
I go to a few events during the year but my first event after getting my car back was Hot Import Nights 2009, and then helping Scion of Braintree out at the 1st annual United for a Cure show, showcasing my car.
