Why couldnt they have two reverse lights.....is it sersiously that hard to make it look the same on both sides. Imo , it will look hella stupid when you see only 1 light while reversing....Also you should tint both sides

When a car manufacturer screws up like this with things that are visually noticeable, you really have to stop and wonder about the parts of the car you can't see

I'm not hating on the car, but it IS a really stupid design as far as the reverse lights are concerned.

The one reverse light wasn't an accident. I don't know why they did it either. Some Euro cars only have one reverse light (in Europe, mind you) but they also usually have a rear fog light in the other spot.

legally you are only required to have one reverse light so why spend money on the other one...i dont know what they were thinking but that may be one suggestion...side note, looks 1000000000x better with the white pillars

I dont care about legally. and your argument about why spend the money makes no sense! Um you already have the tailight im sure it dont cost extra to put another on in there. Man this car seems more and more like Toyota made alot of shortcuts and the car is already ugly so this car really aint gonna help Scion with there sluggish sales!

I think the taped up a-pillars look way better, much more stealth, but oh well. Looking good. Making me like the tC2 more and more.

More pics would be appreciated of the tape-less pillars.

Hey, anybody else notice that the wipers are just kinda crooked? Usually they follow some sort of cowl shape, but it's just a flat bottom with oddly angled wipers?? Is it just the pics?

I did not red out the reverse light because the tint I used actually turns the light out put to red. So If I did red it I would have a red reverse light. and I agree that there should be 2 reverse lights, This was the reason I tinted them in the first place. At least now there is less of a chance of being harassed for only one light working...

Definitely diggin the whit pillars. Really improves the exterior.

I'm actually going to have to vote that I like the differing tail lights. Not sure why scion chose to only include 1 reverse light, but leaving the left side un painted makes that design aspect look more intentional

That looks pretty good, I have to admit. Does that rear end remind you of a celica?

Looks great with white pillars. . . MUCH better. As someone who is as obnoxious as myself about the gen2, and as awesome as you've been posting pics, can you get one shot of the car straight on from the front. You seem to have a lot of different variations of the same exact front angle shot, one zoomed in, and one from the opposite side, but none of them are different angles of the front.

But yeah, it looks leagues better with the blackout removed!

the tC2 has 2 slots for tow hooks, but only comes with 1 actual hook. lol, one of the perks of being the Scion Sales Manager here...

^i can already picture someone with 2 OMFG SUPER JDM towhooks, lmao

although it should be good once a license place relocator comes out, you can choose which side to place it on.
