Specs on the S/C please!

(I know, I know. There aren't any. But at least tell us what type it is!)

I wonder if scion/toyota are going to play nice? I'm hoping that any factory engine mods that require an engine reflash will be compatible across models.

Just because of the SC? IIRC Scion adds this at the dealership, so doing it 6 months after you buy the car will be fine, no warranty implications at all.

SC noob questions: How much will it add to the weight of the car? How big of a hit does your MPG take assuming you use its boost on a regular basis? And what is it likely to cost?
(I thought the tC had an optional SC, but can't find it on the Scion site.)

The only items I see listed I'd want port-installed would be the bumper paint protection film. Thanks for posting this Hawaiian.

I'm sure it's 90% due to that last reason.

Re HIDs: I put Silverlights in my current car, made a huge difference in light output, not as good as HIDs but close enough for the $30 or so spent. Went from faintish yellow to a bright pure white.

Right, but I don't like the housing on the FRS. Too chromy
