Default I'm getting a Scion tC but I have a problem...

I can't find grills, black taillights, and headlights for the tC, I have looked everywhere. Can someone please help me? Man it was so easy finding this stuff for my Jetta. Thanks

Let's see. Decent grills that replace the stock unit and offer a nice mesh pattern have yet to be produced. There are a few brands that lay in front of the stock unit.

I don't think anyone has created a blacked-out headlight- your best bet would be to smoke them with overlays from Rockblocker or... crap... there's another guy who roams this board. He'll probably show up.

Same idea with the tails.

How do I actually smoke them? There is a Scion I have seen on this board(all black on black) and he has a Black mesh grille like the one I have on my jetta.

I have yet to find any good tail light replacements and a nice resonably priced grill replacement.

Black taillights? well, the TYC ones have a black housing. You could get some Blue Batmobile overlays for for your heads and tails. As for the black mesh grille? find someone who wants to sell theirs from their RS1 or you could make one and paint it black(the latter might look tacky, but...)

I found some pretty cool looking perforated aluminum sheets that you can order with a black powder coat on CustomCarGrills.com. Only problem is you've gotta make your own grill. A 16x48" sheet would be enough to do both grills.

As far as grilles, I would suggest a T-Rex Billet grille...Easy install and very durable.





You can get them from SFX Performance

I personally got mine all black since I have a FM.

http://WWW.SFXPERFORMANCE.COM, you might have to call them up and order it because black is "special order". The phone number is 817-303-2255 and its a T-Rex Billet Grille.

The install is really easy on them. Put it to where you want it, 2 screws and brackets on the upper piece and then 4 on the lower. Yes the lower piece can be placed over the fog lights if you have them. My girlfriends car in the picture actually has them.

That's my blue tC there in the photo. It's kinda funny about the stock grille/ logo behind the billet grille. It only shows up in photos. You don't see it when you look at it in person.
