I've been doing some research and I'm pretty confident on getting a Scion tC. So far, I've been looking at all the extra options on the website and was wondering if it was really worth getting anything or is it better to go buy them elsewhere for much cheaper. Thanks!

 

Enkei rims, floor mats, pedals, lip kit, exhaust, springs, strut bar, lip spoiler, ipod ready, sat radio? whatever else you want?

thats my thought? Its up to you whatcha want? You can also buy them for cheaper online on ebay or other websites. Way cheaper than dealership price but you will have to wait for them and install yourself or take them somewhere else to get it installed?

 

I'd say wait on the wheels... shop around for others. OR, if you want the ones from the dealer - get the car and then get the wheels later, that way you'll have the OEM ones to sell. If you order the car with the 18s, you don't even ever see the OEM ones.

Like Yanki said... it's up to what you want. What might work better is post what you'd seriously considering and then others can offer input on those specific items.

Many of the dealer options can be bought MUCH cheaper elsewhere and installed easily yourself or with friends.

 

Unless they throw them in for free save ur money man. Shop at some of the online vendors here I am telling you that you can save a pretty penny on items.

Have a shop install, yourself, or a local member and save some cash on labor as well.

Just my 2 cents.

 

here are some sites for the OEM stuff! Compare the prices with the dealership and these prices!

All sell OEM parts! Plus more!

 

Are there any auto stores that sell good sports pedals? I'd like to pick them up (nothin' to do today,) instead of ordering online and waiting for them to ship if I can.
I;m already waiting for enough things to get here in the mail.
I have an xA not a tC. Just realized this is the tC forum. Maybe same pedals?

 

Probably. But possibly not, I'm not 100% sure.

As for those in a store... I don't really know. You could check Autozone or a PepBoys or something... but who knows what kind of quality they're have - the OBX ones are quite nice, IMO.

 

I guess it couldn't hurt to look around and see. All that's here is napa auto, and I'm not exactly sure what they carry..
Road trip to pep boys!

 

The only thing to consider are the wheels. Everything else you can get much cheaper online.

do they accept the scion gift card?

 

Look at it this way:
Floor mats from the dealer - $145
Floor mats from 3rd party vendor - around $75

I wonder....
