looks like a nice car... but the only thing special about it is the way the dealer preloaded it

The stitching on the headrest in that pictures looks like it is about to burst and I am not a fan of the billet grill. But if you like it, great.

IMHO it is a waste.

Southeast Toyota made those special editions, not Scion Corp. To me, it looks real bad. The billet grill isn't that bad...but those seats are horrid.

smurf3642, it looks like that spur of the moment purchase bit you in the ___.

I'm with everyone else: I think the SE is a waste, but if you like it, that's all that matters. I'm perfectly happy with my stock though. Most everyone I've seen hates the seats, and I didn't notice that stripe (which I don't like either).

Unless it's got a S/C, it's not special imo ;)

I hate to jump on the wagon, but yeah.... those seats are very tacky. Those weren't even the first thing I noticed.... that would be the pin stripe, and my first thought to that was "ewwwww"

but.... it's your purchase and as long as you're happy with it, which is what it sounds like, that's all that should matter

I am removing the accent stripe...yea, it's a nice add on for a "se" but it doesn't go well with the car...Nice attempt for SET though, let's give them a round of applause

*crickets in the background*

Nah......

Actually, the stitching on the leather is well done, very well seamed...the embroidery doesn't look too good, I'll agree, but it does add a nice touch...

What really suprised me was the Bazooka subwoofer...had a lot more punch than I thought it would...

But it's nothing to my 2x 12"s that are goin in on Thursday...

I'm diggin the grill. The stipe is horrid, but I kinda like the headrests. I think I've already commented on your sony system...what are you gonna do with the bazooka when you put your system in? Oh, was that an 8" bazooka? Isn't the Bazooka that goes in the corcer a 10"? So this one is smaller?

Anyway, at least you didn't have to wait 2 months for it! How much did they charge you for it?

This will finally be the moment of truth for how bad your system is going to sound. Last chance to change your mind as almost everyone on this board suggested.

Man, this guy just can't get a break. Can't we all just get along?

If you like your new tC and the stereo that's going in it, I'm happy for you too.

The special edition package is a 4000 option.

I sat in , and drove SMURF3642's tC last night. Only "Negative" thing I have to say is that stripe accross the car. But we talked about it.. and he will be removing it. But the leather seats are comfortable as hell.

Now after I drove it.. I finally set my head into getting a tC. But next week ill probably want something else........... I hate how my head works! !#*(!#*!$#

It really is a beautiful car. congrats on it richard.

thing is.. I was the one that was gonna get Flint Mica.. and he was going to get Indigo Ink.. well he got flint mica.. so I guess im gettingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg Indigo.
