maaaybeee turbo later on.
From what ive read on a few websites (not sure if its true) but the Fujita Intakes are said to be 50 state legal....

Id suggest you confirm with them to be 100% sure.

Yes! I drove 150+ miles to get my chit installed. At the time, no one locally was working on tCs. I heard about Stylis here on SL. We PM'd each other back forth. I drove to Milpitas, he installed my stuff, then I drove home happy.

Another reason I went there was that he had (at the time) lowered over 50 Scions. He knows what he's doing. I didn't want my tC to be the 'guinea pig' for others.
Thanks for the props man!! :D

what i honestly think would look good on your tC are the black TRD rims. you can get them from trdsparks for about 1g shipped to your door. add 18" tires, and your budget quota will be met.

they are 5 spoke, but not split.
