I'm planning on ordering my tC soon, but I'm contemplating about accessories and where to get them!!

For example, I know that I will want to get my windows tinted, but should I have the Toyota dealership do it for me? or is it safe to go save some dough at a shop?

Also, I will probably want to get a subwoofer at one point or another.. should I go with the bazooka that Scion has to offer? or would it be a better investment to with something at a local audio specialist?

Lastly, is it possible to get accessories a while after I get the tC? For example, if I didn't order floor mats, but later on (maybe a few months later), I feel willing to spend some money for the mats.. is it possible to just go back to the dealership and get some tC floor mats?

Hm.. yeah.. these questions are pretty stupid, huh? lol
But I'd still REALLY appreciate your guys' help!

Thanks in advance!

 

Get your tints done by a reliable tint shop. Ask your friends... The ports are heard to do ____ty jobs on the tint (quick and sloppy). At a tint shop, that's their specialty. Also, if you get it at a authorized Llumar, F1, or Madico tint shop, you have a warranty. I personally have Madico tint film.

If you want something that can easily be disconnected and taken out of your car, get the bazooka. If you get it as an option, you can get it financed. Otherwise, get the harness at the parts department and head over to Pep Boys or Circuit City for the bazooka. Search in the ICE, Electrical, and Interior forum for more info.

Just get the mats at the dealer when you buy your tC. The only option I got on my xA were the mats... wait...how much are the tC mats?

 

mmmm... Llumar tint... expensive though, but heard it's realy good tint...

let's not forget Johnson tint... ;-) heard that's second to Llumar.

 

floormats were like $145 for the tC at dealership...i said no :D

 

www.partznet.com has SCION accessories at a fraction of the cost....look to them first, in my opinion at least.

 

www.mcgeorgeparts.com great prices and shipped quick got my strut brace fast. :D

 

hmm.. it seems some of the parts at http://www.mcgeorgeparts.com/ are cheaper then at partznet.com :?
