[Stryker Trailwood]

but:

*Kenstyle Bodykit
*Wide Intake Style Upper Grill
*Darkened Front Headlamps
*2-Tone Alcantara Seats in Black/Gray

sound yummy...

[Nebster]

^^ agreed

[Stryker Trailwood]

i can almost bet that the darkened headlights are the same as the ones in the spec tC (which means technically they went cheaper on them :guns: :rofl: )

[Nebster]

yeah. hopefully the kenstyle kit is a accessory that we can buy for other cars, i was debating a lip kit i wanna see how it looks first tho.

[Stryker Trailwood]

i doubt the kenstyle will be more than a lip kit.
and knowing Scion's RS its gonna be a bitch to get the peices individually but i have let our Scion Guys™ know that if i like them i want them to help get me the hook up.

[Nebster]

wait who are those guys can they help me?

[Stryker Trailwood]

who are they!! they're The Scion Guys™ of sportcity scion in Dallas!!!!

dunno if they can even help me yet but i am praying

[Nebster]

can they get deals on current accessories?

[ZTC]

omg i wish i had the money to get a freaking scion
i think ima have to go sell some drugs to get some money lol

[FrankenScion]

can they get deals on current accessories?

I believe Riverside here in Tulsa is still giving deals on parts.

[Nebster]

the 25%??!? if so i'll give them a call and see if they can do a oem lip kit for mua

[FrankenScion]

Yep.

[Nebster]

word.


BACK ON TOPIC

i think the color is just gonna be white and soooo sick.

[Stryker Trailwood]

its a glossy/metallic white.

[J3ST3R]

Sounds very interesting now we need some spy photos!!

[dj short-e]

hmm.. maybe i can trade mine in and get and RS3..! haha.. probably not with the miles i put on mine already.. ooh but wait.. i do have lots of tunes and KILLER GLASS! haha.. ooh wait they cant have my KILLER GLASS! nevermind

[THansenite]

I guess they are going patriotic with the tC release series cars. Red (RS1), White (RS3), and Blue (RS2). It would be cool to get a picture with all 3 RS's once the 3 is out.

Hey a nostagic tribute to our Juice AD!!!!

[THansenite]

Haha, yea. I have one of "our" issues hanging on my wall here in my office. People don't believe me when I say it is my car....then they see my name next to it. Good times.

Now I just need to get a copy of that signed one that you did!

REDERED PICTURE RELEASED!

http://www.scionlife.com/scion/tc/RS3.jpg

(i take these with a grain of salt because ALL of the renders Scion releases are crap for seeing the real thing)

[J3ST3R]

Interesting front end....:ponder:

[KiSS]

OOOOOOhhhhh, PURDY!

ill try and find out any inside info i can when i go into work tuesday. in case you all didnt know, i work sales at a toyota/scion dealership.

[whatmovesu]

Don't know about the VIP style now but I would make a kick ass tuner :up:

[Stryker Trailwood]

once the real pictures of the kit come out it might be the only thing i would go looking for.

so far for now i think the Kenstyle front, TRD sides, and dont know about the rear yet cause theres no pics of the kenstyle back yet...... that would be what i try to put together on my car.

the lip line is kinda funky but i like what it does to the side faux-vents and the bottom grill/

[Aurora]

Its been my experience that all of the Scion tC's have had minor changes from year to year (with the exception of color scemes and what not in the RS's) so I think I'll keep the tC I have and stick with the planned mods. Besides, once you get a body kit for your tC (regardless of the year), you're right up there with the RS's anyway...and even moreso beyond.

[Krdshrk]

I like that render... That lip looks good!

[RedScioNFuSion]

looks very nice cant wait to see some on the road and events :D

[Aurora]

Or better yet, in our club!

January 5, 2007 – Torrance, CA - Scion, of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., announced today that the tC Release Series 3.0 (tC R.S. 3.0) will be on display at the 2007 North American International Auto Show and hit dealer showrooms beginning by mid-February.

The 2007 tC Release Series 3.0 will come in a frosty Blizzard Pearl white and be decked out with a front and rear KenStyle® ground effects kit. Other tC R.S. 3.0 exterior features include darkened headlights, and a custom wide intake-style upper grille with a honeycomb insert that matches the lower grille. This package also has Scion Genuine Accessory clear LED taillights with unique gray trim.

The tC R.S. 3.0 has black Alcantara® seats detailed with a gray perforated center seating surface on a white background. Alcantara® is a suede-like material often found in luxury or performance vehicles and on aftermarket racing seats. A Blizzard Pearl RAZO® weighted shift knob with black leather insert is also standard.

A Pioneer six-inch subwoofer with 35-watt maximum power complements the standard 160-watt maximum output Pioneer audio system and is tuned specifically for the tC. This compact subwoofer is mounted in the under-floor storage area, keeping it out of sight and leaving the cargo floor clear. This unique vehicle is completed by an individually numbered brushed stainless steel badge.

Only 2,500 units of the tC Release Series 3.0 will be built. The tC R.S. 3.0 model will carry a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $2,580 over the base price. The base MSRP for the tC starts at $16,400 for the manual transmission model and $17,200 for the automatic transmission model.

[Krdshrk]

Which auto show is that? The New york one? I'll be there!

[Stryker Trailwood]

take pictures you bish!!!

[Stryker Trailwood]

rear picture!

[J3ST3R]

Not bad...not bad.....:ponder:

[Aurora]

Wait, don't tell me that the TYC tail lights come standard now? I'll admit that front bumper is a nice step up from the current one but not enough to trade in. Just IMO

[Stryker Trailwood]

no the TYCs arent standard, they are too ugly. those TYCs are special to the RS3 tC. if you see close they have a red lens where the amber one is on the normal TYCs and the plastic on the inside is gray instead of black (makes no sense to me why its gray).

[Krdshrk]

I like the rear bumper..

[J3ST3R]

I like the rear bumper..

Agreed!

[sus]

finally a picture....like the car, but don't love it enough to trade in for it....i don't dig the tyc tails...

[tCMetaLFReaK]

I have to say, I'm happy in the pants with the body kit... especially the grille

[rhythmnsmoke]

The tails have got to go for me.

I DO like the front, but something about the lip....it seems like it doesn't FLOW with the rest of the car. Don't know if it's too sharp edged or something. Maybe if I saw it in person, I might change my opinion.

[Pongs My Sport]

I am hearing that the RS3 is a automatic only any truth behind that? Cause if it is i'm not too happy about that.

[Krdshrk]

No, it'll be available in both Auto and Manual

[captainlaziness]

[Stryker Trailwood]

there u go carlo

now u know

[Krdshrk]

Pretty nice. The only thing I don't like is the Shift knob. I wonder how it looks on the RS3 5-speed tC's.

[rhythmnsmoke]

I think they have the same shift knob despite the tranny difference.

[scionara_tC]

looks good. i wanna see the pain in person though

[Aurora]

Don't we all. I'm still wondering what is going to replace the tC. It's the next one up on the clop block, which leaves me to wondering if I should bother moding my tC or wait and get its replacement. Thoughts?

[scionara_tC]

what if you totally hate the replacement and still have a stock tC? i would say mod away, you can always take some of the mods off and transfer them to the new one or sell it and start over

[Stryker Trailwood]

check the RS3 tC thread on scionlife, i went to toyota of irving and took pics of the outside of the one they got in saturday.
they havent even done anything to it its still just as it was when it left the truck :p
no side mirrors and dirty!

[rhythmnsmoke]

Stank U very much...lol

[J3ST3R]

Not feeling the front end..at all...

[scionara_tC]

i went to kenstyle's site but they don't list the kit yet. they have the ones for xA and xB though

[Stryker Trailwood]

they probably wont, not even sure why they list the xA one. you know how scion is on their RS Parts.

[captainlaziness]

looks good. i wanna see the pain in person though

The paint is strange to me. Looks pretty much like any SW tC in the shade, but out in direct sunlight it really pops. It's got more sparkle than a clean, freshly waxed FM. I really like it...when it's clean and in the sun.

The sub sounds fairly good. And the seats feel fantastic.

[rhythmnsmoke]

Not feeling the front end..at all...


+1

[whatmovesu]

I thought the lip was more pronouned that it is in the photos..sorta looks stock at first glance.....

[Stryker Trailwood]

thats why i love it as much as the Scion lip.
