Talking My 2010 TW fit / Random Photoshoots

Its mostly stock, just got it last month. This is where ill post the progress on my car. Planning on getting coilovers or lowering springs next.











Note to everyone, The greddy Ti-c for the 2009 model wont fit the 2010 without modifications.







Hope you guys like the pictures. Ill be taking more as i add on to the car.

I like it, its pretty subtle and isnt too loud. It does have a really nice low note. Ill get a video up soon of it if you want. I bought it second hand from someone on the forums.

I like your progress so far. Looking forward to more. Are you thinking about getting window tint? I think it would look good with the tails tinted.

Yeah i made the shelf and the emblem is from the back. I dont have any pics of the building process, sorry. But what i basically did was i got some cardboard box and made a template. I did a few measurements and from there i cut the curve untill it was perfect and flush against the hatch, then got some 1/2in mdf and traced the template on top of that and used a jigsaw to cut it. I carpeted it with carpet from walmarts auto department, and used 3m spray glue, and staples to secure it. There is no rattle because of the carpet, and its just on the lip where the oem cover goes. It doesnt move because i notched the shelf where the little plastic studs are. And yeah the seats do recline, but its a really tight fit.

ok i need some input from you guys. I'm thinking of buying some matte black vinyl and wrapping the hood, roof, and trunk of the car. You guys think it would look nice?

also, any suggestions on springs? i was thinking t1-r springs and swift springs, but the t1-rs are cheaper, but the swifts are higher in price. One thing i like about the swifts tho is that ill be able to keep my stock suspension for a while compared to the t1-r's where i would eventually have to upgrade to coilovers.

also wondering if the t1-r V.2 springs are bouncy

I like the idea of wrapping the hood and stuff. I know I want to wrap mine, but hopefully if I can save up my cash I will be spending the money either on the mugen kit or a front jdm conversion! But you car looks really nice. I love the privacy shelf, way to be creative! I have a TW too and I love mine.

nice choice on color. i have the exact same one but in manual. im from Irvine as well!

btw, how come the greddy exhaust won't fit the 2010 without mods? I thought 2009 and 2010 were the same?

I dont think you should wrap it I dont think it would pull the look off well. Also you dont like the eibach pro-kit? I am thinking that or the megan racing coilover kit.
