Honestly, feels like stock. I noticed it being slightly stiffer and less body roll.

Overall the ride quality is amazing still. My mom said she didn't noticed a difference of how it felt while I drove her around.

Used my phone for this pic but that's how the rear looks (sports line on the left, TRD on the right)

It's the illusion the rear bumpers give. the 2.5 tC has rear bumper style that gives it a more box look, making it look wider than the later years tC. if you look at their specs though they are the same width.

Someone want to tell me what I'm doing wrong? It won't stay in the spot for the pole on both sides. It just falls from the middle and then drops the side out

There should be two holes available in the plastic mount/retainer. Try using the one closer to the back of the car.

That's the one reachable one and it just keeps piping out because in the middle where the two poles connect just don't stay connected. Think I'm going to end up returning it if I can't figure it out and it stay

Not a clue haha. But so far not happy with it not staying. Over all it's kind of a ____ty system. Think I'll make my own.

After the dealer put ours on, they left the button covers in the trunk, so we were driving around and every turn we'd hear something like chains scraping metal, and we searched the entire car and found the clip covers.

I did it myself so I have them in a safe spot. Just annoyed that for the money it costs and it sucks. Just wanted to have my trunk covered so people can't see my camera stuff and sub. Want one that's like the integra haha. Hard board that flips up.

I think mine might be stitched wrong. I feel like the logo is imprinted reverse of how it should be but can't find a close up pic to know

The cut/slice for the 40/60 back seat should be to the right like you have it. The Scion logo stitching should read left to right, from the top side.

I was looking at them online and have seen some hard ones. Not sure if they are all custom jobs or if it used to be available or something. I'd be very interested int eh measurement for a hard one though. Would be easy to make as long as you knew exact size and shape.

Maybe get some measurement off the soft one before you return it as a rough guide.

i am going to use cardboard to get measurements haha, a hard top one would be nice, the cloth one worked but over priced for junk.

I don't know why they don't make a nice retracting vinyl one like every other hatch back on the market. I wouldn't mind paying for nice one but I think I'll be making my own as well.
