Default 2008 tC Changes

i was wondering if the armrest size stayed the same size for 08 as the 07, or did that change, because i have a friend who is going to give me some redlinegoods custom leather shift boot, ebrake, and armrest covers he purchased for his 07, but changed his mind about using them, and is going to give them to me..

No reason to believe it's changed since I think they've rarely done anything with the interior.

here's a pic that customtc.com sent me of their front grills for my 08 tC, which would include the lower to fit my OEM fog lights, what do you think:

Well I'm pretty sure by now that the "customtc" ones are just the same thing as the FIG grilles... and they're probably the ONLY ones you'll find that will fit with OEM fogs unless you make your own.

They apparently don't have a web site but oh well.

I may have to wait a couple of weeks for mine. I will have the oem fog lights for mine by tuesday maybe earlier, but I just bought a set of lights from oznium to put under the dash and under the seat (purple of course), and through my graphics guy he gone hook me up with a set of streetglow gold series neons for the underbody. Can't wait.

I saw some nice things that I could do there. Do you think that maybe they could do the same thing as FIG with the tC emblem?

i was told that those are the only places that have the fig grilles...but what is troubling me about them is that they sent me a picture of what it would look like on my car, then i noticed it was the same picture from the ebay store but only altered removing the ebay stores description

Nice, well I guess that was my deciding factor. I have to get the powder coated tC emblem though. I think that would look sweet.

the two sellers might have the same grill, but since my friend has already confirmed that they are A+ FIG grilles, im not going to risk it, im going with the one on ebay
