It looks like the Billet Grill. If it is, you can find it at trdsparks.com. I have done business with Ken there and he's great! There have been some people on this forum who have done the grills themselves. Just use the search function. Hope this helps!

There is actually an aluminum grille that has the exact honeycomb pattern as the one on the tC. I was told that it is available through your local Scion dealer. If they don't have it in stock, it can be ordered. I don't know how much it is, but I want to find out, I just haven't had the time. If I find out first, I'll post up the info.

man, this is a grill from eBay, they have been selling it for a while... It is not made a chrome, I think stainless steel, and you can get it for about 100 dollars.

It's just an overlay you fasten ONTOP of your stock grille...no replacing...it adds a nice touch to the car...

Here's a better picture of the billet grilles everyone has mentioned. I can get them too if you like. They are made by Putco up in Story City, IA. I've met the guys who make them and they do very good work.

They don't sell directly, but I'm an authorized dealer for their Scion grilles. I don't have pricing for the tC grilles yet (I just made the deal to sell these last week), but I expect to sell them for around $200 for the set.

If you're seriously interested, let me know and I'll get on it.

I would take your stock grill and take it to a mexican town and get a paint job on it. Or... do it your self, if you screw up.. then buy ebay grill

Kind of cheap looking in my opinion, you could just paint your stock grille and it would look like that. I think you all can get something better, but if you like it, go for it.
