Default just ordered 3 items from partznet.com

Jusst ordered the cold air , strut brace and the mudguard set from: http://www.partznet.com/toyota/scion...chomepage.html. Talked to guy named tom really nice person. I didn't know but they're actually a toyota dealer out in Pennsylvania. He told me they probably have the parts in by tomorrow and I should be getting them by the end of the week, just like my tC.

Any idea why they are so much less expensive than dealer option, especially since he's a dealer. Installation costs alone can't account for that price difference in floormats.

That shouldn't matter. I got all of my exterior parts from them. I usually see my stuff 2 days after I order it. That place rocks. A good deal is a good deal

I wanted to ask him that question, but I was afraid that he was going to whise up on the prices and begin to charge more, I'm still not done with them and I don't want them to jack up the prices.

I found my way to the site anyway, looks like they've got some decent stuff. I'd really like to find a quality aftermarket dealer to buy through.

Eighteen dollars, is that good or bad? I didn't really mind the shipping charge since I'm saving money in the long run.

It'll be the AEM cause it was due to launch with the car or "a late launch", reasons why we couldnt order it with the car.

Did you find out if the Oil Cap/Battery Tie Down price was for both or each? The price says $48....but the cap is only $35 through the dealer.

The cold air offered through Scion is AEM, dealers won't be able to order it till mid July it will have a polished finnish and should produce 2-3 hp

Sorry to sound like an ___ here, but what exactly does a STRUT BAR do for you? Is it worth the $170 or whatever it costs?
