Jake’s Life

I took my Scion tC in for its 5,000 mile service today and the technician said he rarely sees a new car at 5k looking this good. Oddly, it’s a front wheel drive car, but the rear brake pads were worn a few percentage higher. Weird. They even washed and vacuumed it for me.

I’ve been looking around lately at some styling mods for it but as with all big decisions like this it’s taking me time. I prefer doing the DIY stuff, so I’ll probably end up doing that for a few things, plus it cuts down on costs. I can honestly say that I have never not wanted to drive this car…it’s just a fun car to drive.

Halo Projector headlamps cost about $180 per pair, but for just the halos I can pay under $50. And instead of buying and applying decals to the trim, you can easily paint them yourself. I also really want to get some VHT Nite-Shades and apply it to my tail lamps, leaving just the reverse lights untinted. Super Bright LEDs offers LED replacements for most common bulbs to help the lights stay bright but the covers remain dark, but it also requires removing the entire tail lamp assembly.

I’m a G, I can handle it.
