i just received the email from Rick myself 
The kit looks great considering it is just a prototype. I'm sure it will look 1000x's better once it is painted and the OP fills his front bumper holes and fills in that grill cutout

Hello TC customers,
First off we would like to thank every single one of you for being so patient with the development of our Scion TC kit. As all of you know, we finally got the first prototype in the states a few days ago and finally had a chance to take some snapshots of what to expect for your own kits. Keep in mind that this particular kit is just a prototype meaning that it is more of a “rough” piece and is used for test fitting purposes so it is not as nice as an actual production model like what you guys will be receiving. The kit was not held up by any sort of screws, double sided tape, or anything for that matter and as you can see it fit pretty well considering it is holding it self up with the exception of the side skirts since that is impossible. J Anyways, on to the pictures:

The President of JP USA just made a short trip to Japan for Tokyo Auto Salon and we will be tackling the issue of when we are going to be able to finalize the initial order of TC kits for you guys when he gets back. We’re hoping that we can get the kits shipped with our next container that is arriving during the end of February, but I will of course be in communication and let all of you know what is going on as things progress.
Regards,
Rick Nguyen

4" ground clearance with TRDs sounds OK.

4 inches is plenty of room with lowering springs
