i could still have my scion dealership order it and install it right? does it come pre-painted or primered? money is not an issue at all coilovers and some goodies will have to come after

the oem ground effects kits come prepainted or primed based on your preferences. your dealership should be able to order it and install it for you.

no worries... to each their own... that's why there are so many different options for modding our Scions. Im not offended... just tossing in my 2 cents as for cost wise was all.

go over there and ask them how much it will be if you purchase it from them and have them install it. just get a quote, dont say yes just yet. its not that hard and they give you instructions on the how to install it on your own if you buy it online (TRDSparks.com).

^^ yeah the oem lip kit isnt that hard to install yourself... most kits like that even come with the templates so you can tape them in place and mark exactly where you need to drill. and some are even just strong 3M double-sided automotive tape.

and trust me I know from experience on my other tC...my 06... that the automotive grade 3M double tape is as strong as frickin' super-glue! lol but you've only got one shot to stick in in place right cause it wont come back off easy.

Ive seen that one before.... its a pretty nice looking kit.... only thing with that one is how would it look if you didnt modify your exhaust to exit in the center like the rear valance of the kit? that might look kinda odd is all...but a nice mild kit for the tC.

dude where do you hale from? .... if you were local I'd install it for a lot less than the dealer would. I've been building show cars and race cars for 20 years....and have had several cars grace magazine covers too.
