You mean the one in the commercial isnt real and the shark that smashed out the window isnt real either!!!!!!!!
Thanks for explaining what CGI means too coz none of us knew what that meant..... or that it was a Rado kit coz none of know anything about bodykits.

Im being sarcastic by the way

actually celt.. I know very little about what kit is what, and had no idea which one that one was. Personally I hate them so I dont keep up with those things. I am not big on slapping heavy add on plastic/fiberglass/floppy urethane on my nice, clean ride :D

Not bashing you kit owners out there... just making a point to his bashing of wds.

And he simply mentioned what he meant by CGI, many people get lost in the crappy alphabet soup of acronyms out there today, so some like to specify for those thay may not know.

I dont like it but I will give MAJOR props to the body work (other than the mesh). The rear fenders are seamless up into the roof pillars and the paint is perfect.
But why did they leave a lip spoiler on with the hideous fins?

Thanks engifineer.... As a moderator, I tend to try to speak in terms that all people can understand... and you'd be surprised at how many acronyms we have around this place... WOOSAAA on the going after me about posting a clear post...

Thanks for the screencaps to really show the dynamic difference in the rear end... the one in the commercial is actually interesting looking.

I know what you mean wds. At work we semi "banned" acronyms in project meetings. The people not up to speed on the technical side were about to strangle us for saying a paragraph that was 90% acronyms During a project at Boeing, I found they had an internal web page just to define what all of the acronyms meant

SORRY WDS
I mistook your clear posting for smugness My BAD
BTW the telecommunications business uses more TLA's (three letter acronyms) than almost any industry ( I do video, analog, digital and VOIP ) and there is even a telephony bible that is in it 22nd edition and all it has is acronyms.
The propeller heads at my work talk like that all the time.
Once again SORRY for the burn

of all the ones Scion has had done this tC is the worst.
Im sorry but that Rado kit is one of the most uncomplementing of the tC there is.

the xB and the xA they did to match their commercial counterparts actually look good and roughly match.
but that tC is just fugly and other than the paint and the fins, it doesn't match at all.

on the commercial up until they stick the fins on the back that tC is sweet.

Im not saying I like that tC, but I do like the one in the commercial. I just don't like the body kit on the real car.
