ScionPro.com put this out for the tC1 and asked if it would be something tC2 owners would want. I think it looks pretty sick but want your opinions. One of my favorite aspects of this is you drop the hood and your car looks stock for daily driving, but pop the hood and you're ready for the show!
The metal is T-304 stainless steel (available in polished or brushed) and the whole kit is less than 20 lbs. Basically, it's as light as aluminum but less maintenance.

Oops, just realized I didn't put who produces this stuff. ScionPro does it and all the parts would be available individually as well as the whole kit. They also make floor mats, pedals, dead pedals, door sill inserts, etc.

Couple other things Steve at ScionPro mentioned he's looking at is coilovers and an all digital airride system.

For show vehicles, that is wicked! For daily, not so much.
However, the engine cover and rad shroud would be interesting to see on their own.

Got this from ScionPro a few hours ago. Just got busy with work, so I couldn't post it sooner.
**************
First this is T-304 stainless steel available in polished or brushed finish. A lot of tC people go with a mix because the brushed look is more race lookish and can be painted or powder coated. Second weight wise these pieces are very light. The whole kit is under 20 pounds. The diversion panel is 2 pounds the hood panel around five the engine shroud is 3 the alt cover is ounces...so very light. Its as light as aluminum but less maintenance. The stianless does not need polishing it is permanent. All you do is blow off sand with a air can and wipe it down with glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth thats it.

UPDATE: Edited my initial post with the latest info. I was wrong earlier about the stainless steel being heavy. 20 lbs for the whole kit is super light and sounds very easy to clean.
Who knows, maybe I can talk ScionPro into letting me try out some test parts so I can do a full review. 8) Also, here are some other parts they offer for the tC1 that I would really like to see for the tC2.
Door Sills

I like the door sills. They are nice and clean! The rear hatch thing might be a little much, but then again, I'm not much for the chrome/bling stuff.

I'm not a big fan of all the stuff for the engine, but I like the floor mats and the door stills! Looks pretty cool, even if it is a bit flashy.

I know it’s not really diamond plate…but that looks so heavy…diamond plate floor mats doesn’t look right...to me anyway.

Seen this on an xB at the Exposed event. Very clean looking for show... I'm not huge on shiny accent pieces, but some can go a long way without making the car too flashy
