Default Good site?

Hi, I'm purchasing a super white pedestal spoiler on my 08 tC along w/oem fog lights.

Found this site and wondering if this sites a good place to buy the parts:

http://www.scionpartsmall.com/2008-S...-2008-Scion-tC

Also want VRD grills and wanted to know if the lower grill will fit w/oem fog lamps.

Thanks in advance

If you are referring to the OEM fogs that go in the middle of the lower grill, then no. The new lower grill will not work as it completely replaces that... The top would still work however.

As for the site, i couldn't tell you. I have never ordered from that site.

So which grills would I need to buy so it will fit w/the oem fogs (the ones that go in the middle portion) or how does everyone fit vrd grills w/oem fogs?

You can't use the VRD lower grille with OEM fogs. FIG makes a mesh grille for the OEM fogs that can be found on eBay.

They make an upper too, just search the store.

Thanks Jon, I just placed an order for the lower & upper. I chose the gloss black option. Is that an extra $30 bucks? Also these grills require no cutting or anything like that I hope.

Yeah it looks to be extra. They'll probably send an adjusted invoice. These grilles do require drilling and zip ties. It's nothing too bad though.

Yeah just drill a few holes in the clip that held the oem upper on
I did 6 holes 2 top 2 bottom and 1 on each side
same with the lower, just drill a few holes in the grill tabs.

Wish I got mine powdered I have to repaint them too often
