Scion tC RS 5.0 spoiler question

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forums and a brand new owner of a Scion tC RS 5.0. I'm on here seeing if I can't get some opinions on which spoiler to get for my car between the rear lip spoiler and the pedestal spoiler.

Any opinions/suggestions?

If memory serves me correctly, the pedestal spoiler isnt' availble in 202 black.

You might want to make sure you're dealer is getting the right black.
There's paint code 202 which is the TRD RS5.0
There's paint code 209 which is the stanard tC.

202(black) doesn't have any metalic flake in it.
209(black sand pearl) does..

Make sure you're dealing with a salesman who knows the difference.

P.S. They're only making 360 of them so don't wait if you want one.

interesting since the pedestal spoiler isn't even an option on the RS

Guess I'm going with the lip spoiler then. But yeah, the dealer probably didn't realize they were different shades of black when he told me that.

Anyways, I already have the car ordered and a deposit down on it, so I'll be getting it next week. I definitely appreciate the input, I would've been pissed if I had a different color spoiler installed after it got here heh.

Especially with the holes they have to drill for the pedestal spoiler.

Will do! I should have it by next Thursday at the latest - mods won't be added until a week or so later.

Altho its not my style (I like the lip better), the tC is one of the few cars I like with the pedestal spoiler.

I totally agree. One that isn't has to be the 350Z. Looks like it's on backwards.
