oh, and that's my tC in the photos... so um, I paid for the gas to and from to get the grilles installed :D
I really like this grill. Only thing wrong with it is the scion logo in the background.

I just rolled 11k miles on my TC and the blue paint is chipping all over the place. Normal highway driving. Any of my other fellow cult members having this problem?

The paint issue is common to all scions. I have 2400+ miles on my tC and the front bumper has much more wear than a 2 month old car should have.

Pretty much common for most car companies these days unfortunately. Could be worse though, I would rather have easy-to-scratch paint than paint that just flakes off like chrysler, ford and gm have had in the past!

Its ok, I havnt had the **** / top spinning issue that I heard about. However, the leather boot isnt tight against the bottom part of the shaft, it needs something about the thickness of the washer to make it fit right. But since it doesnt make noise and I like the way it looks over the leather one Im not complaining.

What I'd really like to see is somebody with this **** and a twm short shift kit, now that I've rolled 1000 miles on my first manual tranny car I think I'd like to see what all the fuss is about.

Mine has been ordered and should be here this week. Will post pics once I get it. I might be one of the last with IIP, but I will do the color and the cult right!
