Honestly, I would go on ebay and pick up the two pieces on there. If you go on ebay and search for "scion tc grill" it will bring up like 500+ items. Just go through them, and you will see a couple listed for around $20, you will have to trim it yourself, but its cheap. My grill was precut, 12 gauge aluminum, and I paid $80 shipped. It looks good. I put a big toyota emblem on it. I think I have a pic of it on my page.

I hear that. I luck out sometimes, and find someone selling some cheap parts on ebay. I wouldn't buy any major performance parts from ebay, but grills, headlights, interior, exterior. I am an ebay freak.

oooo i bought my halo projector headlights off ebay and there literally crap. The only thing i like about them is the halos cuse they look sick. but instalation was a PITA. I almost had to rewire everything. Connectors didnt fit. AND the running bulbs are totally different from the stock so now that i need to buy need running bulbs i have to take it to a shop to rewire everything!!!

Thats crazy, I never got headlights or anything, just things like wings, wheels, tires, plastic accessories. I actually got my TEIN springs from ebay, fortunately they're real, I was worried I might be getting a knock off. Ebays alright if you are buying from a Scion dealer like Custom tC or The scion store. I think there are a few more as well. JSC is on ebay too. Sometimes you can get good deals on used parts too.
