Canada Scion Owners getting screwed one owner at a time.



Have to be very carful with the Canadian dealers and "TRD" parts. Although I don't think there was any deliberate intent to deceive by my dealer (they just don't sell much TRD stuff) they screwed up identifying some of my add ons as TRD when in fact they were not.
Called my Scion lip spoiler TRD.
Bill of sale identifies lowering springs as TRD. They are actually RS*R Superlows.
When the car was in the showroom they had what they called TRD rims on it that I have never been able to find in any parts list and the center caps are not badged. I did not like the rims at all on the Lava as the colour was all wrong so made them put the stocks back on and saved myself some cash ($2500 to be exact). They put the rims on the next showroom car, pictured below.
My point is that at least some of the Canadian dealers seem very confused by the whole Scion/TRD thing simply from lack of experience with them. My dealer is actually very reputable and I trust them to make things right when you point out errors but I guess they are not all that way.
