Default New Scion TC

I done as much research as possible before ordering a New TC I ordered Black sand perl then added ground effects, Pedistal spoiler 18 inch wheels and leather faced seats, The problem is the dealer or Scions web site has no pictures of the ground effects or the leather faced seats is there anyone who has a link or pictures of these factory options.
I would like to get some idea of what my new car is going to look like

the reason i say this is because if he finds something that he truly hates, he should run back to the dealership right now and cancel the order for the car.

Default well here is how it happened

I ordered the car but living in FL and the port is also here I can tell them the options and they do the build out in N. FL and ship it to my dealer.
My dealer has already told me if I dont like it he will be able to sell it.
Paying Cash helps too.
I still dont know what the leather inlayed seats will look like but didnt want cloth.
Couldnt bring myself to spend 4.000 fo 40 HP even though the supercharger would be a nice add on. Should be at the dealer in the next week.

Oh and thanks for the pic at least I know what the groun effects look like

Try build you own Scion and you can see everything except the seats.

Where did you get your leather seats. I've been looking for some. I'm pretty handy so I think I will be able to do them myself.

Thanks, jjp

Dealer-installed. All seats, door panels, headrests, console, and rear-panels was $2k.

Thanks JJJ. I actually think they may be easier, but I understand your point.
It ain't cheap!

I definitely feel that the leather is worth it. If you can afford it, I say do it! I did mine in two-tone and LOVE it... And include the seat heaters, their worth it.

Pictures of mine are at:

Those leather seats have soo many wrinkles they look like a hundred year old. That would never fly if leather was a true option. The only thing that leather has over a slip cover is just that.... that it's the stock covers (design) so it's not gonna slide or anything.

A tip... if you want to get some of the wrinkles out, you have to be really careful and have a wet rag handy, but use either a really really hot hair dryer on low or a heat gun.

OEM's do it all the time for their prototypes and show cars. Sometimes just leaving it out in the sun on a hot day will accomplish (nearly) the same thing.

ive seen some of the leather kits for the tC and one of them was a complete replacement of the stock clothe. like they ligit tore off the clothe and put the leather in its place. seems pretty cool to me, seen as how its not just a "seat cover" but the actual seat.... like the stock clothe only leather
