Yup, it would add up to a bit more if bought separately and I only wanted the front lip.

FYI, the sides only give the appearance of lowered center and the rear is 2 pieces--not 1 piece. For those that think it comes in 1 piece with a diffuser in the center, it doesn't :/

Ask for James. He's a pleasure to deal with.

Yes, TRD springs. I'd say about 5-6 inches of clearance. I haven't had any issues whatsoever with speed-bumps or anything. This kind of gives you an idea of how much clearance we have: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...&postcount=143

After about a month, I finally received the Torque Solution exhaust hangers. They are SOLID pieces!

Installed:

Note: The package came with 4 mounts altogether. If you go under the car, you'll notice there are 5 mounts in total. You really only need to replace the rear 3. From the back there are 3 mounts, 1 after another, then another 2 side by side in the front which I don't see a point in replacing and if you look closely, they are made differently than Torque's mounts. I only replaced the rear 3 and the exhaust seated firmly.

You're not too far at all. It's time to meet! I've been seeing a lot more tCs in this area and I'd love to meet the owners!

And Domo, '11 dC does not come with a hatch cover. At least mine didn't!

I got some quick DSLR shots (finally), those that want to check them out, go to first page:

Received the custom painted "red" Descendant Intake and 2nd reverse light kit today. Intake is not the red I imagined but still beautiful!
