I liked them cuz of the price and the way the seats folded down

they are surprisingly roomy in the back seat lol.. im not a small guy and i fit in this car pretty comfortably.. i test drove a civic si same day i drove my tc and i couldnt fit in the civic ...plus i didnt want to drive a stick everyday to work in rush hour traffic.

i liked mine for the same reasons stated here really. Price, gas mileage (even though my LS460 gets better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif), and easy to customize I couldnt see myself doing any more than rims to my benzo or lexus so I had to have a toy,right?

As far as the paint goes, the more I look at the pics online, I really do like the black but the gunmetal seems pretty sick too

Gunmetal grey would look ok. Id throw a cold air intake and poot pipe on it and youll be whooping up on V8s all day.

They are not roomy at all.. You must be tiny if you think even one thing about the back seats is roomy.. My knees are in the seat and my head is tilted on the roof and break my neck on every bump.. The wife has one.. they are slow and for a two door car a boat.. the car looks like it should almost be a 4 door but they put too much space in hatch area.. for the price they are alright used.. she got hers for 10k with LOW miles on it..

if you do decide to do your rims black instead of painting them use plasti dip spray. Its a rubber compound that can peel off whenever you want to remove it and you wont damage the rims.

Well....the "lowrider benzo" is in the shop so I've been paying more attention to the tC.this is a quick pic I took of my tC today while I was washing it.

Thinkin about painting the wheels black. Ive seen some nice ones and some that look like crap. Opinions?

a 10 spoke rim in gunmetal gray with a polished alum. lip would look good imo

to do it right they have to be stripped and powder coated or it wont last

,black would look good. But different wheels would be even better.

OP, keep in mind that's coming from someone with a Cavalier. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/spank.gif.0d78e34d42ea8780359e903aeb6697d6.gif

I've heard about this stuff. Does it hold up pretty well?
