Default What do you need for your TC

I work for vivid racing and we are going to start focusing on products for the Scion TC as well as the others. I was wondering what you guys are looking for so we can make sure to stock the items for ya. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks

A relatively quiet and reasonably priced cat back exhaust system.

Well we will deffinately do the usual like exhaust, suspension, wheels, intake, as the stuff comes out. Probably Tein, Injen, K&N, and such. Just wondering what manufacturers you guys are stoked on. We can get anything, just want to have it in stock because if you're anything like me I hate waiting for parts once I order them. I want them at that very instant.

Short shifter. (I got my car yesterday and would order a short shifter today if somebody made it. The transmission is wonderful, the shifts are very smooth, but the throws are just way too long.)

Some tC-specific nice pedal covers (like Racepedals makes or made, I can't seem to get to their site so maybe they're out of business.)

Springs and sway bars as an alternative to the TRD pieces. Although by the time you get them made I might already have the TRD stuff.

Smoke-tinted lenses for the mirror-mounted turn signals.

Smoke-tinted taillights or LED taillights.

All of these things I have already thought about, but most of the parts simply aren't available yet.

Good looking front lip. Good looking mild wing.

Struts. Headers.

Basically anything they make for other cars.

Second that!
I think they should have not included that smaller sun window if necessary but keep the top all glass still. Or use some thing more rigid like old bread boxes use.

Oh yeha, that pull down shade thingy for the sunroof needs to be replaced. As well as that plastic plate over the head unit. But I doubt many aftermarketers would deal with such petty things.

Thanks for the input. Keep it coming. We might start to work on a short shifter for the car and some other things. Just need to get a car to guinea pig.

For all the crying baout the sunshade and the radio cover, I bet they never break. When you snap one off, then you can cry.

The radio cover will snap...1 day after your warranty runs out...
Especially for those who replace the head unit with a nicer one and like to keep it covered when parked.

Projector headlamps and HID's would be nice... me smiling now.

A complete turbo system, front mount intercooler, bov... :D

I wouldn't get a short shifter cause I like how long the shifts are stock.
