Not real big on the yellow color and the tC2 still hasn't grown on me. But hey good luck with her, the first mod you should do is remove the black vinyl from the A pillars it looks so much better without it.Don't worry under it it's yellow I've seen a couple of RS7's and regular tC2's with it removed and it looks better.

If you want to see a real improvement in performance, invest in a lighter set of wheels. CAI's barely give any power up top and they kill the bottom end power. Just throw in a drop in filter such as K&N and save you money for better stuff. The wheels on my car made the biggest and best improvement in performance all around. I dropped roughly 7 lbs. per wheel/tire, that is a big improvement. Scion did a really good job tuning these engines, not much left to get h.p. wise without boost.
BTW Congrats on the new ride! I am liking the RS7 more and more.

Congrats on the 7. I've done TRD Quickshifter, TWM cable and base bushings and they are great bang for the buck IMO.

first of all congrats, I can tell that you picked up the one that was on display @ expressway scion.

have been driving by 93 on my RS7.0, seeing and wondering who would be the proud owner of that one.

Yup that probably was me, I live in quincy, and for all I know, I was the only one with RS in metro boston area until you got yours. Were you @ stop and shop in southern artery last saturday? if yes, I was parked @ wendy's across the street, if not, someone else picked up the one that was sitting at braintree scion.
