Default Scion tC newb in San Diego.

Thought I'd say hi. My name is Ryan, and I like to party.

My girlfriend has a 2008 tC, and I don't know a damn thing about it.

I'm here to learn a little about it, and maybe find a solution as to why her sunroof is fubar'd.

Anyways, I have a lowered 2nd gen Tacoma.

Here's a build thread, if anybody is interested...

I haven't had a chance to look at it, but she said it came off the track.

Then, against my advice, she went to the stealership and had them close it for the low low price of only $200.

I have a couple quick questions as well:

2008+ is the 2nd gen tC, correct?

And

Are there different body packages? She says it's stock, but it doesn't look like any other tC front end I've ever noticed before. I'll try and snap a pic.

no, tc2 is 2011

and if she bought a limited release stock, then the body style will look different than a regular tc

can tell you for sure if you had pics

That's it! Looks exactly like this...

Are these rare or something? I've never noticed one before hers. I think the previous owner put an intake on it.

yea they are rare, as TeeCizzle mentioned, only 2300 were made for that specific version.

if you look on the dash, you'll see a number telling you which 2300 you have.

besides the color and interior features, the lower body kid is unique for this year's RS.

And this is at the Pat & Oscars/Sears parking lot off of Friars?

So this is her car. Where on the dash does it say the production number?
