Default What's up with the TC that comes with hubcaps & fixed ro

A neighbor of mine just bought a new tc the same week as me but he has hubcaps and a fixed sunroof. What's up with that? i've never seen a tc come with hubcaps before.

search for spec tC.

it's a package w/ hubcaps, non-opening sunroof, no cruise control, no upper storage bin in teh center armrest, different headlights, different upper grille surround, and maybe something i'm forgetting

tC Spec.
www.scion.com/tcspec
Personally I like the fixed roof more then the retractable roof.
ugh. Posted before me. I'll add though

No Immobilizer
No Engine Cover (oh no)
Different Seat Material
Doesn't have a fob I belive. Have to open door yourself
and I belive it doesn't have a key hole on the passenger side.

last 2 I'm not positive of.

That's the best price for a new car.

$15,000 and it still has many standard features compared to other cars.

yeah.. but not worth the price compared to a regular tC with those options that were taken off.

it's geared towards tuners who want a very basic foundation to be able to upgrade in a more customizable fashion.

well... so far i've done 2 mods that can technically be called downgrading...

it's not like i'm doing it on purpose.. but cuz i needed the money...

so in a sense... my '06 tC has two aspects of it which now makes it more tC spec-ish....

the steelies/hubcaps... and the lack of radio controls. (i gave my controls to an '05 that wanted it... i didn't need it)

oh.. btw... the wheels feel alot better than the stock craptenzas and 17's

I think that's actually the 1969 tC SS Type R with twin turbos and a straight six, with three seats and a fridge.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong?

Yeah, I think its an optional pkg for the '07. What a way to really make your car look corny. But seriously, I believe its for those who want to custom spec-out their car.

not really upgrades... the yokos and potenzas were both used and it was pretty random coming out of the factory... sometime in the '05s was when the yokos started showing up..

now turenzas are also another common tire thrown on there stock as well nowanddays.

people tell me from a distance my hubbys look like actual rims except when they get closer like 2 feet.
