that a HID projector from a Lexus RX 330 fits inside the 08 housing like it was made for it, and the end results are awesome. More people mistake it for a BMW now than ever.

i learned that you need to press the a/c button to get the car to blow cold air insted of just air.

Rain-x...
I'm glad they didn't put a rear wiper on, keeps the back end simple and sleek.

The only thing I hate is when I brake, it fill like I am griding the disk brake. The heavy of the car too. Need to do some CF on the doors and hood.

I have to do a upgrade on that.

I would do the doors but for track purposes. If you get t-boned with those carbon fiber doors, your as good as dead.

the hvac controls puts the a/c on air recycle if you have it set all the way cold "max ac". i would shut off recycle and the next time i drove it the ac would have recycled back on! it drove me nuts until i figured it out

also the blind spot was annoying until i got little blind spot mirrors

also the 15m timer on the defroster is slightly annoying

I have a sunroof in the back that doesn't open.

Wow. I'm never in the back so it doesn't matter!

I found out how widespread the fan-base is!
I also found out how many that own one, dislike it for one silly reason or another.
I, for one, LOVE my tC!

I just read through the first 5 or so pages, and learned about the "social seating" and stereo eater eggs. Thanks!

Most things I already knew, just from reading through the manual. I did find out after I bought the car, that it is VERY expensive to insure.

And since I bought it used, I'm still finding all the things the previous owner added on to the car. So far, I know of the tinted windows, rain guards, mud guards, and the bumper protector.

Oh, and I found someone has the same TC as mine at work (I work at a factory, so there are literally thousands and thousands of employees, so I don't actually know the guy/gal). It looks exactly like mine, minus the rain guards.
