Possibly ridiculous quote of $1.5K for a backup camera install

Currently driving a 2014

I went to a local car accessory shop (yanno the ones that do audio and tints), just asking for a backup camera install. The guy took me through the whole new radio sales pitch and quoted me over $1600. I had no plans of buying a new radio so I asked for the quote with just the camera install and they only brought it down to $1500.

I was so confused. He was trying to convince me I needed all kinds of adapters and something to connect to the reverse. I have the stock radio, isn't it factory ready to simply install a camera?

Listen, I'm not the kinda person who can do this stuff myself, but I'd like to avoid these kinda guys if a backup camera is just plug and play.

Started to tape. Gonna be a black ✔️ mark underneath the headlights. Would wrap be better? Or go with plasti dip/hyper dip? Open to any other ideas to black the bumper a bit more different looking

What price should I sell my Scion tC for?

In northern nj. 2012 tC with 220k miles on it. No issues. Newer tires and brakes. Passed inspection with no engine issues or check lights. One owner me. Minor cosmetic wear outside inside. One minor car accident that scratched the rear bumper. But did nothing else to the car.

Suspension for 2015 scion tc

I recently bought a 2015 Scion tc and wanted to get coil overs to lower it a bit, but I have no idea where to start. This is my first car and I don’t know much about cars in general but I thought it would be a good start to learn and figure out how to put on coilovers with me and my friends. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for coilovers brands?! I’m looking at Godspeed ones rn but I really do not know. Here’s what the car looks like now and I want to lower it an inch or two. If anyone has any tips or any info at all I would appreciate it immensely!

So my car got beat bad, so I Just sprayed on it for fun. Looks horrible I know but I was curious how a purple mesh grille would look. I’m gonna install it with the bumper. Thinking about it, or I’ll just spray it black. N properly do the black bottom lip. Surprised how well white plasti dip blended

Anyone else still find the Toyota Zelas thing kinda weird?

It’s still kinda funny to me how the tC was such a Scion thing in the US, but then you see photos from other markets and suddenly it’s a Toyota Zelas.

Same basic car, but the badge, plate shape, bumper setup and little market details make it feel weirdly different. Like you know it’s a tC, but your brain needs a second.

I’ve seen a few pics online with long plates and it changes the rear look way more than I expected.

Anyone here actually seen a Toyota Zelas in person? Or anyone in here driving a tC/Zelas outside the US?

Front brakes for scion 2013 tc

Hello, I need to replace the front brake pads and rotors on my Scion and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good brake kit. I looked at OEM parts, but they seem pretty expensive, so I’ve been considering aftermarket options.
Has anyone had good experiences with a particular brand or kit?
Thanks!

Tiles pressure sensors

Anyone have a solid recommendation for replacement (after market) tire pressure sensors for a 2009 Scion TC? I’ve been living with the light for about…well, forever.
