2005 Scion TC - Seven Week Scion

The first thing the AIT team had to come up with was the new look of the tC. Patrick wanted to make something that would accentuate the stock lines while making it look meaner than a hungry Hannibal Lecter stumbling across a fat camp. Going through sketch after sketch, the team spent days integrating diverse styling cues, then altering and tweaking to make them flow with the Scion. What the team eventually came up with is the widebody before you.

From the beginning, the AIT team knew that they wanted use carbon fiber as the basematerial. What they didn't want to use, however, was the common overlaying method, which when improperly done wasn't much stronger thanfiberglass. After some research, Patrick discovered that a vacuum infusion method produced carbon fiber components that were not only stronger, but lighter as well.

Once the design decisions and material Selection were complete, Patrick and crew went to work on shaping and molding the kit. Starting with the front bumper, side skirts, and meticulously working their way to the rear, the AIT crew grinded and sanded till the body kit fit flush to the body like lactose-intolerant Mo'nique's ass on a toilet seat after she done polished off a case of Bon-Bons-shudder. Afterwards, Patrick slapped on a set of AIT carbon door sills, an RS Type carbon trunk spoiler, and TLS Performance carbon B-pillars.

For any show car to make an impact, there has to be enough ice on board to sink the Titanic. Thus Patrick shipped the tC to JLS Mobile Sound, where they replaced, added, and enclosed an Audiobahn multimedia head unit, DVD player, amplifiers,capacitors, and speakers. For auxiliary videooutputs, two Audiobahn monitors were mounted above the rear seats and a 17-inch screen was molded in a custom trunk enclosure alongside a Nitrous Express bottle.

With only a day for performance mods, Patrick called James over at G-Dimension for performance advice. After consulting with his G-Boys, Stephen and Johnson, James came up with a supercharged route for the tC. Starting with a TRD 50-state legal supercharger kit, James and Stephen also installed a Blitz MMDi-Color, Top Fuel PowerDeck and PowerNeo, Weapon*R dressings, Nology wires, Optima battery, and a prototype AIT carbon engine cover to complement the belt-driven boost. Before driving it back to AIT, G-Dimension slapped on B&G coilovers, an RS Type short shift, Weapon*R seats, and had SP Engineering tune the entire setup.
