I'm the FNG. TRD SC Install question for North Jerseyans
Hey everyone, I'm Karl from North Jersey...
I did some poking around for a small, sporty yet gas-conscious car, and the tC fit the bill nicely. My wife tried talking me into getting a Prius, but after hearing that they revoke your Man Card if you're caught driving one, I settled on the tC
My prior car was a 2000 camry with the TRD SC, and I was really happy with it.... but after 6 good years with that car, it had to go. So on my way home from work, I picked up a tC with a 5 speed in Black Sand Pearl. The darned thing was so cheap I didn't even have to finance it, and they even gave me a fair amount on my Camry trade (though I yanked out all the aftermarket/mod stuff).
Basically I'm looking for a dealer that's got reasonable install rates for the goodies I'm buying off the Scion dealers on the web. Cheapest price gets my buck. I've ordered the Strut Tower brace, TRD lowering springs and a few other goodies that I assume are easily installed by me (Sport pedals, shift ****, lund door guards, etc). My next paycheck will pay for the body kit and supercharger - plus the labor to install those plus the strut brace and lowering springs....
First things first: Who has the lowest price for the Supercharger? I saw someone mention $2800 but they didn't mention where... I don't mind going online, in fact I prefer it
Is there anywhere here in North Jersey that's trustworthy? I was considering Toyota of Hackensack, but when I asked they said they had never even installed a TRD SC for the TC... That kinda put me off. I know there are several dealers in the area, but before I go on a calling spree, I wanted to ask here in case anyone had a strong recommendation.
Also, with as fun as this car is to drive, I don't mind driving a couple of hours to get a good deal on the SC install
So yeah, hello to everyone, glad this site exists, and all you guys are all responsible for my heinous loss of productivity at work since I got my new tC
Thanks in advance!
