nice tongman! u should do the bottom too!

the real reason it's so expensive is so people just can't randomly go out and buy the grille and put it onto their non-release series tC. Scion wanted those grilles to be unique, and having every tC with them, they would lose this uniqueness hence the vin verified purchase and the high cost.

The RS2.0 grille is also pretty expensive. It's expensive due to the rarity of it. Only 2600 sets are out in the U.S. and with minimal quantities in stock for replacement orders.

I will but that means I'll have to take off my bumper for it.

i just ordered these gloss black and with the option for the foglight grill in teh bottome :D i even asked for the overnight shipping lol

is the rs grill held in by screws? or is it just snapped in like all OEM grills? If its snapped in u can just removed the under panels.

Neothin

bah, removing the bumper seriously takes 10 minutes tops

get that lower done lol

TongMan

I think the RS2.0 grilles are held on differently than the ordinary tCs. I won't be sure cause i've never seen how the stock OEM grilles are held on. But like I mentioned, there are plastic tabs that have been melted onto each of the tabs that would make it pretty hard to take off. I had a hard time taking the top grille out because of those plastic melted tabs.

The top grille does have a series of screws that kept it in place. I haven't throughly checked the bottom, but i assume that there aren't any screws.

Neothin

if the melted tabs are anything like what holds the door panels together, a razor blade is all you need.

I'll take my car over to MystikChris, I'm sure he'll be able to help me out. I'll take more pics once the bottom grille is on without the RS2.0 grille behind it.

I just put my LLC grill in I got the one for the foglight and the lower did'nt fit right at all. It was way too big, I had also already powder coated them gloss black so I did,nt want to bend it up. The top grill fit great though

Just installed my grilles yesterday. Absolutely love them


I was just wondering if anyone had any pictures of a tc with all 4 grilles. I'm looking to buy the two little bottom grilles as well if they look nice.

Anyone?

TongMan

Alright, I finished the bottom grille. I had to take off the bumper to remove the lower RS2.0 grille. It was held on pretty good. Eventually got it off and got the LLC grille on. Looks better now without the RS2.0 grille behind it. Yeah, but the grille was a pain to take out.
