A comment about the door mouldings and ding issue. I drive a 2001 Kia Sportage 4x4 and before that was my first Kia, a 1999 Kia Sephia. Neither rig had door moulding, so I went to my dealer and they had some for the Sephia in Violet Mist color that matched perfectly. I put in on myself and it went well putting it on.   With my Sportage 4x4 I went online and ordered some off the net. It was black in color, about 3/4" wide and I put it on the small SUV. It goes well because the door handles are black on my Pepper Red Sportage.   Here's where I'm leading with this: on a car like a tC you would probably not want to bother the side with door moulding. You will have the same door swinging issues with inconsiderate people and shopping cart issues, etc. So it's up to you but everyone is sort of of the opinion that door moulding doesn't work on a coupe like the Scion tC, because it looks so hokey. Do keep us informed what you decide on this, though, OK?   I sure do like that Azure Pearl. I saw a tC at a dealership in Jefferson City, MO, that was that color and it looked fantastic on this little coupe. Now I'm thinking tC again, along with xA RS 2.0 and new world order Kia Sportage for the future. The tC just looks so awesome!

I'm wondering if the Azure Pearl would show dings less maybe? And dirt less?

Azure Pearl would hide dirt better than some available colors but show dings just as well as many of the others. You can't have it all...or can you? Replies to this message: nascar9900 (Jul 06, 2005 3:12 am)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Jul 05, 2005 7:37 pm) I saw an Azure Pearl this weekend, and it does hide dirt/dust better than the darker colors. Unfortunately, the dark glass moonroof showed the dirt just as well as the BCP or Black body. My thinking is that you'll be washing the tC just as often no matter what the color.

Replying to: darius2k (Jun 23, 2005 5:30 pm) I know what you mean about the waiting period. My dealer is ordering mine today from Japan... it's going to take about 5 weeks. If I were in a hurry, I don't think I could be as picky as I am. I guess flint mica is pretty popular especially getting it as an automatic. The dealer told me they sell 10 standards per every 2 automatic. I was suprised, but I considered my daily commute and stuck with automatic, even though I do like standards better. I get stuck in so much traffic, it probably wouldn't be worth it. Anyone else have to wait 5 weeks to get their when ordered?

Replying to: ange24ford (Jul 06, 2005 11:47 am) I don't know how it is in other areas, but here in the NY region in Buffalo, NY, on tC's, 5-8 weeks is about average.   Hope this helps.   Ken Replies to this message: ange24ford (Jul 06, 2005 12:37 pm) toyotaken (Jul 06, 2005 12:41 pm) ange24ford (Jul 06, 2005 1:24 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: toyotaken (Jul 06, 2005 11:53 am) Thank you, I was curious about that. I'm in Mass. Wow, I'm glad I won't have to wait THAT long. You know that new car feeling. When you want a new car, you want it right away. I'm trying to keep patient. It'll be close to the end of summer by the time I finally get a chance to enjoy it.   I'm really hoping it handles well in the snow for when the time comes!   Thanks again Ken!

Replying to: ange24ford (Jul 06, 2005 12:37 pm) You're welcome. BTW, with the stock tires, they're more for handling than snow traction, so you might want to consider a set of snows for the winter and switch back for the summer. Just a suggestion.   Ken Replies to this message: ange24ford (Jul 06, 2005 1:24 pm) toyotaken (Jul 06, 2005 1:45 pm)

Replying to: toyotaken (Jul 06, 2005 12:41 pm) Oooh right, I'm going to look into that later. I know these cars aren't very old, so I wasn't sure if many people had experiences with them in the winter... Replies to this message: toyotaken (Jul 06, 2005 1:45 pm)

Replying to: ange24ford (Jul 06, 2005 1:24 pm) Being here in Buffalo, we had a bit of experience, so I thought I would mention it. Enjoy the new car!   Ken
