sure it does. but this is kinda silly. i'd like to see how these fenders would look on a tC. my guess is they look silly, but i wouldn't be able to form an opinion without seeing them in use.

there could actually be JDM parts for some scions..just not tC's..there are JDM versions of xA and xB, so saying that there is no JDM for scion would be wrong...i have JDM stuff in my tC, hah a rear view mirror and air freshener

of course, you can "JDM convert" the xA and xB fairly easily

the tC, however, is a US market car.

that is what i was saying, just the way your title read "scions cant have JDM stuff"..not specifically the tC (which youve since correctly edited it to be)..but i agree with you that a lot of companies are trying to lure ignorant people by advertising that its JDM or JDM style or watever they wanna call it..

yeah, i corrected the thread title, because that's what i meant from the start. i'm well aware that the A and B are straight from the streets of japan.

I'm telling you, it's all about the 300mm Broadway and the Air Spencer.
