Yeah I got the eBay upper knockoff and the fitment isn't that great either. One of these days I will play around with it more to get it to fit.

People need to specify when they say "ebay grille". Ebay is a classifieds site, not a part manufacturer Figure LLC sells its parts via ebay, so just saying "ebay grilles" doesnt tell anyone much.

I have always been happy with my figure grilles. Got em way back on the group buy for pretty cheap. Fit perfectly and tightly. After the bottom of my bumper was ripped off they sold me just the fog grille pretty cheap to re-complete the set

Are the VRD grilles discontinued? I tried checking them out at Vertex Racing and it seems like their site is whacked out. Any info would be great, thanks.

I'd like to see every RS grill added to this thread w/pics.

I read about people comparing and referring to these certain RS grills and have yet to see anybody post a picture of them all.

How do the RS grills compare to aftermarket, prices, rarity/availability.

I really don't think the RS grilles can be applied to this thread since they're not really available to most people.

How so? I'd imagine they are available through any Scion dealer providing somebody wouldn't mind paying for it. And, is this thread not called "Scion tC Grilles?"

Edit: Bla, I'll just do it myself. Literally dozens of people have asked me what the differences are in the RS grilles so, here...

RS 1.0


RS 2.0


RS 3.0


RS 4.0


RS 5.0

Yes or have their vin and order it, they are custom made though so it is very pricey. I recommend if you want to go the RS grill route to find it in the classifieds. That is what I did and I have an RS2 grill for pretty cheap. Now its powdercoated black and the surround is getting paint matched. That is just my .02, look will be a lot better. I don't like how the VRD has those protruding "bumps" or ridges, I like it clean. I think I want an 08+ lower now, anyone want to trade for an 07 lower? I can through in my VRD upper too lol.

Just to make it clear, I'm personally not wanting a RS grille. I want a VRD. But, thats insane!! Why do they try and limit it to RS owners only? I just find that interesting.

When I owned a regular civic, I could always (rarely did) order a civic si part. Very interesting.

Thats because the si is not a release series car.. it is simply another model, or version of the model.

The RS is SUPPOSED to be more rare. That is the whole point of limited production. So they dont want everyone being able to go out and buy the RS parts for their tC. While to some the "exclusivity" seems of little importance, that is the whole aim of a release series.
