anyone ever had their tC without tints ? i'm letting mine ride like that :]
I'm sure there are plenty out there w/o tint! What color car do you have? Mine's black (as all 5.0's are) and I feel obligated to get tint... I say obligated because I am worried about getting pulled over and ticketed, but I really do want tint.

5.0's are pretty sick , and for it to ride without 5% tints it wouldn't look right .

lol . mine is silver , but i'm going to let it ride , it's going to look really clean when i'm done .

I just got my tC a month ago and was looking to get tints on her as well as a carbon hood and a spoiler but don’t know where to get it. Can anyone help I would really appreciate it. I want to get involved as much as I can with my new baby so if anyone wants to show me the ropes that would be awesome just send me a line. Thanks

Hey guys, i currently don't have a tc, but I'm in the process of getting one in the next month or two. I'm not a noob to the site i have been creeping for about 7-8 months now. i saw the tc and just fell in love with the way that it looks and the support behind it.
Currently i drive a 1999 Ford Escort zx2, yes it's a auto, but the tc will be a stick, it's the only way to go.

I finally broke down and bought me a 2010 nautica blue tC. She left the lot with 13 miles on her. I may be new to this forum but I have been on plenty others, over the next few months my car will totally transform. I put alot of effort into having a vehicle with a vibe nobody is used to. Nice to meet everyone.

Just got an 06 Scion tC Black Sand Pearl with 30k last night. Everybody in the family loves the car, which is something that doesn't happen often.

Had a 98 Ford Escort ZX2 with 99k. Auto tranny failed, threw a junkyard tranny in so I could limp along and trade it in.

Default new 2010 tc :)

Hello all! I'm new here at ScionLife, just bought a 2010 tc on thursday! It actually arrived from the factory to dealer less than 8 hrs before I decided that she was the one for me. Drove off the lot with 2 miles on her! Initially I came into the Toyota/Scion dealership to look at Tacoma's, but found out there is slim pickings for the Tacoma's b/c of the C.A.R.S. I always loved the look of the tc's and even though my heart was set on a truck, I took one for a spin and fell in love. I bought the tc to replace my street car, an 03 Chrysler Sebring my parents bought for me for my 16th bday. It was a pretty car, but still a grandma car. The thing I love most about the tc is the turning radius, it sucked a$$ on my last car! (LOL)

Friday night I went to a concert and some f*cker in a Honda Odyssy almost hit me! (I would have let him in if he was patient, he literally gained .5 ft from that dick move) I literally cried and was begging him, 'please don't hit me I just bought this car yesterday!' I wish the car came equipt with 'automatic _______ sensing missles'.

Im thrilled with the car and may post some pics in a bit!

Just put the first 100 miles on her this weekend and noticed that bugs really show up! Its my first black car (sorry don't remember the proper color name). Gunna go research whether or not the $400 scion paint protection film is worth it.

Anyway, just wanted to get this outta my system: YAYYYYYYY!!!!

Default Possibly getting my first tC tomorrow

Hey guys, new to this forum...my name is Zack. I'm probably buying a 2005 SSM tC tomorrow. I just have a couple questions. Do tC's get around ok in the snow? I live in NW indiana and the mother is really concerned about me being able to get to and from school ok in the snow. I guess that's really my only question for now, because I have already done a ton of research and this is the only thing i'm really getting mixed reviews on.

Thanks

Default Loving our new purchase!!

We recently purchased a 2005 TC from a dealership that had 4 or 5 of them used. I would have to say, we definatley picked the best that they had. I didn't even really realize how much extra had been put into the car until I started seeing other scions on the road. Check it out!

Cool WASSUP!

Sup from VA Beach! Picked up a '06 tC and immediately started looking for parts! Played with Mustangs, Civics and a couple of 240sx. Figure i'd try a tC to see what it's all about. Been reading through most of the info on here before getting the tC and plan to go turbo like my last 3 cars! Torque is just addicting! Gotta have it! Looking forward to learning this new platform and hopefully contributing later!

Hi everyone!

Just picked up a new 2010 crimson tC on the 27th. I've been looking at scion for years now, but it's just been recently that I've had enough to actually go in and get it for myself.

Mine came with floor mats, but other than that, it's full stock. Planning on adding an injen CAI to start out with, and see what else unfolds.

Very happy with what I've got, and look forward to having fun with it in the future!

Greetings! I just wanted to introduce myself as I picked up my '05 Scion tC less than two months ago, and I love it! It's my first manual, so it's been quite a challenge.
I don't plan to do too much to it too quickly, but I do plan on swapping out the stereo and possibly building a system. It'll be a long term project since I don't really have the budget for it, but I may start sooner than later by replacing the Pioneer head-unit with a DVD/Nav system.

We'll see as time goes on and as I save up some cash!
