^^^^^^^run the cars low and high beams all night, .....yeah but they only do that in Fla. , here in Pa. they only siphon all your windshield washer fluid I'm glad I live up here cause I can barely afford washer fluid when I take it to the shop.


Sorry I just couldn't resist

jesus almighty christ. short shifter is a 30 minute install. and the TRD shifter is even quicker, it includes the whole god damned assembly. hardest part of that is opening the damned door.

I believe there's a lawsuit in there somewhere. Unless they charge 300/hr in labor.

I like how when I bought my car they advertised Scionlife.com. And it was here that I learned that the dealers rob you on installation prices.

Well I called four other dealers and all quoted around 420 for part and install, so I called the dealer and told them of this and they said come in on Friday and they would refund the difference in the price. I hope this will really happen but i'm not counting on it

OK just got in from Atlanta went down a day early and surpisingly they offered me a refund of 240 or a new lip spoiler and free labor. I took the spoiler since it was on my shopping list for the car. They took complete blame and did all they could to make up for it. For once a dealer that took the blame for something they did wrong, what is this world coming to
