So far I just put the g force comp tires on, a front struts bar from Grimm speed because I got it for $60 and a heavier shift knob. But I this saved me some money and I can go straight to some rce yellow springs in a bit.
But yeah the dealership didn't say anything about it being a TRD so they didn't try to pass it off as one. Thanks again for clearing that up.

Not such a big deal now that they are sold through Toyota but the add on parts were a great negotiating tool back in the Scion days. Since Scion had the fixed price no haggle policy they couldn't budge on the sticker price of the car but they could give add ons at reduced or even no cost. This could add value for the buyer without impacting the sticker price. My car was loaded with TRD and other special parts which I negotiated into the deal. I ended up with $5,000 worth of extras for only $1,000 added to the sticker price. Was a great deal for me since it was all stuff I would have added later anyway if I had just bought a base car. AND it was all covered by warranty since it was dealer installed!
