Hey guys,

Is there a difference in quality between buying this tc carbon fiber:

and buying a genuine scion tc carbon fiber:

Does the genuine one come in two?

Thanks guys.

Yes it is a pair from TRD sparks. I got mine from ebay but an actual toyota parts dealer. They look like the exact ones from the factory but i would search the classifieds on here or find someone with a better rating unless you ahve done business with this seller before and it was a good experience.

Ack! I just realized I posted on the interior forum. My bad :eek:

But they do look very similar. I just don't know if it'll still look similar once I receive it hehe.

^^super easy to install, just clean the surface and stick. Maybe 5-10 mins at the most. They add a nice little touch

^^^ thats cause they are. those are just overlays. just vinyl sticker you add to the pillar. i would stick with the ones from ebay or trdsparks. they arent just vinyl overlays. they are actualy cf pieces. not fakes. i picked up a set from trdsparks. and i love them they look great and add a nice touch. the ones from that ebay link look exactly the same.

I think I'll stick with the ebay or trd version. I just wish I can view both in person. Hard to judge with just the pictures. If anyone here get's the ebay one please let me know the quality.

Yes they are waterproof, they are designed for the outside of the car. I have had mine for over a year now and there are no signs of fading or the 3m tape peeling up.

Yea, just wax them like you would your car so they don't fade
