Somethin on the body is different, the shape i think, i cant quite make it out, i love the new lights, a smell a headlight swap coming soon on my car!!!

[SCIONtist]

the headlights bubble out a little (atleast i think they do). . . love the tail lights

[chicotunner07]

OH i c wat u mean in the first picture, but i would love to put some HID's on those projectors!!

[ThetC]

i think the tail lights are gay, and i think the headlights are alright, i still think they should make it more similar to a more BMW style headlight, considering the car's style was produced based off a BMW

[ThetC]

by the way, if those headlights do bulge out, they are gay too

[chicotunner07]

hahaha, yeah it would look real ugly at an angle!

The body is exactly the same. The new headlamps and the different upper/lower grilles made the difference in look.

[ThetC]

i still dont like it, lol

[Touge_tC]

I don't like the headlights... but I do like the tail lights. I like the LED tail lights they offer now better though. The ones in the picture remind me of some tail lights I had on my old 240sx.

[ThetC]

the only way i would rock those taillights is blacked out

[Touge_tC]

Hell yeah... I like blacked out taillights. Haha.

Ive thought about looking into the projectors from the 08's. Ill wait til i can actually see them before i make judgement. The older style definitly looks better, allmost like theres too much plastic in the headlight. As for the tailights I HATE THEM!!!!!! Even people who own altezza's (IS300) buy covers to block out the clear part. Sorry they look like Scion asked APC to "pimp the tC". They should of stayed with the classic reds. The interior, the silver streak from nowhere on the doorhandles is overkill, there was no need for more silver. The center stack was a nice contrast, all it needed IMO.

Maybe my tune will change when i finally see it for myself. But the only thing i see better in the 08's is the stock stereo will come with preouts to hook up aftermarket subs and amps. Thats an idea i wish they had sooner.

[Touge_tC]

Hahahaha... YES! Pre-outs, Woo-hoo!
APC= American Produced Crap
