wow... how come the prices on this site are almost 2x cheaper than the scion's official list of accessories?

For example, the wheel locks are $59 and here they are 29...

I don't know, but I'm hoping as more companies come out with their own stuff, the prices will beging to drop to keep competitive with each other.

What's with the cupholder lights only showing that they come in blue or amber? I was under the impression that they changed the 10 colors as shown in the tC brochure?? I hope that this is just a mistake. :?

Sheesh, i was never planning on getting any of those accessories the dealer has to offer on that car.. its just nuts. For examples the subs and amps $400+?!?! are you crazy!! I paid way less than that for my rockford fosgate stereo system which is way better than Bazooka.

And floor mats being that price? Yeah if you want them to say scion on them go ahead and spend the money or just go to your local walmart and pickup a set lol.

As for me, i'll pick up some accessories off of ebay when they become more available. I'm cheap and proud to say it lol.

you're only saving like $20 on the mats, not too big of a deal if you ask me. but some of the other accessories are priced pretty cheap. gotta say, even with the cheap prices, i still won't be purchasing any of the accessories

Well, my dealer won't sell the floormats unless you buy the cargo mat...and even if I wanted the whole set, I would still save $33 here. Like other people have said, though, I wasn't planning on buying anything from the dealer except for the optional gray steering wheel later on (because I don't want to mess with the airbag myself).

Remember that low MSRP on all Scions? Guess where they make their money? The accessories are marked up for profit more then installation...things like pedals & shift ***** are extremely easy to install.

It's not hard, but you do need to have a couple of tools. There's no "special" tool needed.

^^ hehe no special tools needed. basic tools will do just fine. a nice rachet set will do the job. the CAI is very simple to do, i can do one in around 30 mins or less when i have my tools on hand. for the axle back. very easy as well. just jack up the rear and put them on jack stands(both sides) and DO NOT roll your car onto a car ramp. you might not have enough room to maneuver the exhaust if you park it up the ramp.

the pedals are really really easy installs as well. most basic pedals only need like screw driver and/or pliers. shift *****... LOL i dont think i should tell you the instructions on taking that off

Do you think the price for the BATTERY TIE DOWN/OIL FILTER CAP are for both. For $48 I would get that....whenever my tC comes in that is.

Also, and why are the automatic pedals the same price as the manual....2 pedals vs 3 pedals....oh well, no big deal. So, you think those are just one screw and replace?

The shift **** could be neat for looks also....but I'm only getting an automatic.
