View Full Version : New TC2
gotskillz11 10-25-2010, 12:29 PM I just picked up a 2011 TC. This is my second TC. I had a Super White 2006, then traded it in for a 2008 Acura TL. I really liked what they did with the new model. Especially the 6 speed. Here's a couple of pics.

TMcJilton 10-25-2010, 05:57 PM Nice! True everyone is getting black, I purchased black as well.
speedy000 10-25-2010, 07:19 PM black is sexy but i personally am stuck on the cement color!!! i think the first gen would look amazing in cement.
congrats on the new car its prettttty!:icon_biggrin:
that big lower grill just screams out to put an intercooler in it.

I agree, my dealership had the Super White, Cement, And Black. I almost got the Cement until I saw them side by side. I just really liked the black. I think it will sell as good as the black.
greenbean24 10-25-2010, 07:40 PM Lol we all bought black
chicotunner07 10-25-2010, 08:43 PM x1239812039180 on the black, best color for the lines of the tc2
but going from an 08 TL to this? why the change?
Superpickel 10-25-2010, 08:53 PM Another one joining the dark side... black that is... muhahaha

Not sure yet. Nothing crazy. This is my daily driver. I have a 90 5.0 hatch sitting in the garage for a toy. I installed a carPC in my TL but don't think I'm putting it back in here. I'm thinking about adding the Blu Logic kit.

Black definitely looks he best on the new model. I missed the storage space that the TC offers, throwing hockey equipment in the back or making a run to Lowe's. Not to mention the TL was automatic, I got bored with it. I needed new tires soon anyway. LOL
rangerryda 10-26-2010, 01:20 AM Weren't the TL auto tranny's plagued with issues anyhow?
SW_08 10-26-2010, 01:23 AM noice....all i see is black and yes looks best with the body lines...but i do have to admit i love the new cement color
gotskillz11 10-26-2010, 01:24 AM Weren't the TL auto tranny's plagued with issues anyhow?
Not really sure. They are known to have battery problems. A bunch of people I know had their batteries replaced that were less than 2 years old.

I agree, cement was my 2nd choice. But I couldn't pass on black when I saw it.
Does anyone know how to turn off the beep when you lock the doors? It says take it to the dealer, but there has to be a way.
Also what about the seat belt beep trick? I did it for the TC1 years ago.
SW_08 10-26-2010, 01:26 AM def true on the batteries stories....
WD0100 10-26-2010, 01:46 AM i got in dark gray, i like it :)
SW_08 10-26-2010, 12:03 PM hi5 for not having a blk one lol
rangerryda 10-26-2010, 01:21 PM I don't care if everyone and their mother got a black one too, I'd still get it in black :P
SW_08 10-26-2010, 03:13 PM i will say blk will be there top selling color at least for this model
oneshotted 10-27-2010, 08:08 PM Got mine 1 week ago!
Black too :wink:
I've seen lot of people hating the car on forums,
but everyone who saw mine in real life found it awesome!
rangerryda 10-27-2010, 10:19 PM That spoiler helps the back end to not look as weird. Then again, it may grow on me like the 1st gen tails did.
oneshotted 10-27-2010, 10:53 PM I didn't liked the back much without the spoiler,
here are some better views of the back with the spoiler.
Superpickel 10-28-2010, 01:40 AM I didn't liked the back much without the spoiler,

I opted out of the spoiler. Not a fan of lip spoilers anyway. I always liked the pedastal spoiler offered on the 1st gen. At least Kaminari is stepping up to where Toyota failed and creating another spoiler.

In the 1st gen, there was a sequence with turniing the ignition to ACC and pressing the tachometer display button. But I can't really remember it.
Matariel 10-28-2010, 03:04 AM Mmm I got mine in white and it looks great.. the black pillars and black roof, along with the dark-grey mags makes it look oh so great. I agree, black looks good.
But I opted to play with those black-colored features (full roof and especially pillars) to bring out some contrast. Wouldn't go any other color personally.
Ill try having some pictures up tomorrow for you guys

i demand them tonight! D: lol
anyone see blue in person yet? I'm contemplating between dark grey and Nautical Blue Metallic
oneshotted 10-28-2010, 04:33 AM I had hesitation moments between white and black,
then black won my heart, but white was still looking real good!
rangerryda 10-28-2010, 06:12 AM I'd be on the fence between pure white and gloss black for so long that the 3rd gen TC would be out by then lol. I love them both but in FL I suppose white would be the better option and I also agree with the pillars being blacked out on white. It gives it a "cockpit" look like the Nissan GT-R with the shoulders it has as well. Either way, a great looking car that keeps growing on me. That concrete color looks neat too but it's not my choice of color. The only color I cannot stand on any car is silver. It's just boring in my opinion. Well, beige sucks too but that goes without saying lol.

I had a NBM 07 tC before I bought my 2011. I am much happier with the gloss black. Not to mention, when I had my NBM, I could never find parts for sale that were paint matched on Scionlife. Everyone either had black or white...
sneakyburrito 11-07-2010, 01:37 AM got me a black tC today too
Boosted Scion 11-07-2010, 01:41 AM You guys suck I want a 2nd gen!!!!!!
gotskillz11 11-08-2010, 11:20 AM I installed the mud guards, auto dimming mirror, and blu logic this weekend. All went in relatively easily. Probably an hour for everything. This new TC is one of the easiest cars to take apart to install electronics. The radio cover pulls off and (4) 10 mm bolts hold it in. It can't get much easier then that.
xTChickx0 11-11-2010, 03:02 AM i wasn't a fan of new tC's........until i saw the black! omg it's so sexy!!!!! great choice!
snjTC 11-12-2010, 03:54 PM another black tc joining the party. so far just 5% tint, Ptuning license plate relocater, and 8k hids. also added the s2k antenna.
greenbean24 11-12-2010, 03:58 PM another black tc joining the party. so far just 5% tint and Ptuning license plate relocater.
