I don't know...I kinda like it - I like the front flare, but maybe if they squared off the rear fender it might be nicer. Also, it looks like they shaved the gas tank door off as well.
it was relocated for the car on the passenger window.

Anyone know of a good dyno tune place near NY/Philly that is good with Scions? If not, I'll just take the long drive down to PTuning.

I've heard nothing but good about them...Staten Island, I believe. They made the S/C cams that that IceNine has (or had...what ever happened to the 311 HP tC?!?) for the tC.

As far as I know (and I've checked everywhere, because pretty soon we're gonna need a good tuner for a certain RS3 that I know of) there's no one that specifically deals in the 2AZFE around here, regardless of what engine management you're using. There are AEM guys and Ultimate guys and there's probably a Unichip shop around the area, but no "Scion-tologists"...or even "2AZ-ologists"...

That's why I figured I'd have to do the drive to VA to go to Ptuning. I know they're very good with tC's.

Car is back.. feels great. With the new clutch it feels much more like my 300Z. Can you believe I've been driving on a bad clutch for a year (since I bought the car) and didn't do significant damage to the transmission? I mean, the clutch pedal always felt mushy but I thought that's the way Scion had designed it since I hadn't driven any other tC's but mine. Anyway I'm in a much better mood knowing that my car is in good shape and that I wasn't necessarily the cause of its problems. The service tech told me that it looked like the tranny had been out before.

They also told me the OBX pedals I got from the first Peruzzi show.. the accelerator pedal doesn't fit the tC. It kept coming off so I asked them to put it on and they did but deduced that it's not the right pedal for the car. I just remembered I traded a shift **** I won and my factory silver OBX pedals for the blue OBX pedals that Phil won at Peruzzi.

Washed my car today =D. Hopefully it stays clean for more than 12 hours. Still didn't put the strut bar on yet, the clearcoat is taking forever to dry.
