So I have been into the Euro scene for a while now and have had numerous Audis and VWs.. Decided to switch it up for awhile. Monday I am picking up a 05 White Scion tC RS w/ TRD exhaust and suspension. Powder coated valve cover and rims to match the rest of the car. 5 speed manual with 75,000 miles.

Yes, I am aware of that. My friend bought the valances and had them painted super white to match the rest of the car. So its not an rs1.0, but looks like one.

Officially had my 07 tC for a month today. I was led to ScionLife by one of the members here after talking to him about his SCM tC at the Richmond, IN car show.

Needless to say, I got some good ideas at that car show and can't wait to get mine modified to my liking as soon as I can! Loving the Scion.

Whats up everyone? I just bought my 2007 Scion tC today...traded in my 2003 Jeep Liberty. I loved the Jeep in the winter but HATE the gas mileage. 16 MPG is just not okay when my commute is 17 miles one way.

Does it matter? If you like them, buy them. But the reason people dislike them is because they are a blatant copy of the Volk TE37. People would rather see you support pioneering companies rather than those that just make cheap copies.

Pretty much. But if you're on a budget and want aggressive wheels, they do the job.

You can order the Volks in any size you want. They will custom make them for you.

Hey all! I only have a couple posts so I'm new. I've decided to get a Scion TC this coming Feb. It won't be new, but it'll get all the love a new car would.
