Last I knew, it wasn't out yet.

I am kind of interested in one of these too.

Curious on what the price will be.

... i dunno, a rep told me it is more restrictive because of all the downward force that the "SCION" emblem places on the engine block

I would break down and buy one if they would charge me what the post office charges for shipping. You can get enough insurance to cover a $100 product for like $1.

It only cost $35 to ship 2 sets of headlights in a 2x2x3
foot box with $900 insurance.

There is no way it should cost more ten $10 to ship. Till then I'm not getting one

that member that put the VVT-I decal was sciondad i believe...

RACINGSOLUTIONS...do you do engraving yourself? i would pick your up if it said like "scion" on it.

i sometimes forget what im driving between pulling the hood release and getting to the bay, so having that reassurance posted on top of my valve cover is needed to avoid any confusion. (dam toyota symbol on the cover had me buy a corrola supercharger for my car thinking i was the most brilliant mudda fudda on the planet... dont worry, my local sales rep told me it works the same way, and he seems like a pretty reliable source)
