Default factory ground effects...are they worth the wait

I ordered my FM tC on feb 21. Since then I have been contacted by the dealership twice to tell me they have a FM on the lot but no ground effects. Should I keep waiting or just get it without the kit?

The kit is clean, and the carbon fiber will look even better. Order the kit from scion, and buy the carbon kit later. Swap them out for shows and daily driving OEM equipment is always worth more than aftermarket.

carbon fiber lip kit will run about 800.00 plus you will not need it painted so you will save some money there. i would say if it FM which you want and it has the tranny you want then get it and add on a kit later.

CF works on silver, but only if you play it all the way up.

Black rims (chrome lip optional), CF hood, CF skirt kit, etc.

I hate CF. I think it looks ugly and way too ricey. To each his own I guess.

anyways, when i financed my tC, I financed a couple grand worth of accessories with it, even though they werent on the car yet. they ordered the parts and had them put on a few days later, and a couple weeks later for a couple parts.
