Good video, I love the complete instructions step by step no short cuts or parts of the process missing. I'm getting a 2014-2015 Scion TC soon, these cars are so nice the Front end looks aggressive.

Really enjoy your tc videos

[@cooperdean9154]

Literally spent hours researching to find out how 2 days ago and now after all the work u post this

[@VampyreX13]

If you ever run into a situation like that again, just post or message me. I may have a video showing whatever it is you need to figure out.

Very helpful thank you for a fast and easy to follow video!

Another helpful video Derrick. I had to remove my Daughters 2013 Corolla S front bumper last year to replace the headlights. It too, was an aftermarket bumper and didn't line up well at all and kept popping out of the side retaining clips even after I bought new Toyota clips. I ended up using a little epoxy and it has yet to pop out over a year later. The lesson here...always go with Factory parts if possible.

[@VampyreX13]

I used an aftermarket bumper on my 2001 Corolla and I must have lucked out, because every other car I've seen with an aftermarket one had issues. I don't mention it in the video, but the 4 front mounting tabs on the bottom of Jervee's bumper didn't even extend back enough to properly line up with the engine splash shield.

[@lostvlog6857]

Thanks

[@FunGuyFruits]

Perfect. My clips are failing

[@VampyreX13]

Glad I could help.

Hey derrick i have a question, I just install the Winjet fog lights last night on my 14 tC and tonight while i was driving i notice the passenger side the beam light is low and my side is high, Can i adjust them with my hand or do i need a tool ? Thanx

[@VampyreX13]

There should be a knob on the back of the foglight towards the bottom that you can rotate by hand.

Hey Derrick, I have a quick question. How would I go on about removing the grille from The bumper? I have a grill that I purchased from Blair Layman on fb(I just mentioned him just in case you might know him) and I haven’t installed it since I’m Not sure how I would remove the grille from the bumper. Do you have a video of you removing the grille by any chance? Thanks in advance!

[@VampyreX13]

I know Blair. Great guy. I don't have a video of removing the stock grill, but it's easy. Once you have the bumper off, there will be tabs around the edge holding the grill in place.

[@majapan7521]

@@VampyreX13 hey man thanks a lot. You wouldn’t know how to install the grille form Blair do you 😂😅. Do you think I’d need to get a license plate relocation kit ?

[@VampyreX13]

@@majapan7521 just shoot him a message and I'm sure he can send you pictures for installation. You can check out www.acarguysgarage.com for a license plate reloction kit if, but you'll need to cut an opening in the grill for it.

[@Westcoast10]

Any chance do you know any sites where I can buy parts for the front of a tc scion? My buddy’s a mechanic and he said he can fix the front part of my car as long as buy the parts and just pay him for the labor.

[@VampyreX13]

I usually stick with sparksparts.com for genuine parts (usually best prices) and rockauto.com for 3rd party ones.

[@manuelgallegos9411]

I need some replacement clips for the front bumper. I can’t seem to find any. Do you have some suggestions on where to look?

[@VampyreX13]

Do you mean amzn.to/3t81MTz and amzn.to/3WCWuNt?

[@pableezie6890]

Hey Derrick how do you take care of the gap where the front bumper meets the car? Like the space in between? I have like less than quarter inch gap on the sides of my bumper. Same issue with rear bumper gap on sides.

[@VampyreX13]

You need to replace the black plastic clips behind the bumper. If that doesn't work, then a new bumper (OEM, not 3rd party) or Quik-Latches are your next option per kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqjHdpybnrl-rsU.

[@pableezie6890]

@@VampyreX13 what about the rear bumper?

[@VampyreX13]

@@pableezie6890 the same idea. You need to replace the black clips first. If those don't fix it, it's generally less expensive to just install a Quik-Latch. I will do a rear bumper removal guide at some point (I have the video footage), but it's just a matter of finding free time.

I want to remove my duck bill spoiler on my 10.0 tc.. is it just tape or is there a screw underneath?

[@VampyreX13]

If it's the factory duckbill since you've got the RS10, then it's probably a combination of tape and two bolts. You'll want to remove the hatch trim so that you can see underneath. If you watch my back up camera video, it shows you how to remove the trim.

How to change cooling in this car ? I couldn't find the radiator cap

[@VampyreX13]

It just has the overflow tank cap for refilling and the drain at the bottom of the radiator for draining. You can watch my video at kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2KseKSrjqd1iZY to see where the drain is.

Where can I buy a white front bumper for a 07 tc scion?

[@VampyreX13]

Try eBay. My friend got pre-painted fenders there.

[@jefferyleung5167]

Does anybody know any aluminum radiators that fit for this car?

[@VampyreX13]

Just the OEM one. Depending on your requirements, you could always go custom.

[@playerslist3484]

Do you ever try radiator flush?

[@VampyreX13]

On my old car, I flushed it with a garden hose kit. On this one, I only drained and refilled when installed HPS silicone hoses.

[@aldosanchez6838]

Hey bro I have the same car like yours and im about to have a 2015 + sti wing painted to match my white 2016 scion tc. Have you thought about installing another different wing on your tc?

[@VampyreX13]

No, I like the subtle duckbill for a FWD car. It fits styling well, doesn't block the rear view too much, and doesn't add to much weight to the hatch.

I want to take off the big plastic piece in the front! How do I do that??

[@VampyreX13]

Once the bumper is off, you can push the black part out from behind. It's just held in place with plastic tabs.

[@johnwayne1871]

@@VampyreX13 do you think it is worth it. I’m trying to get as much air coming in as possible, would this make a difference?

[@VampyreX13]

It will certainly allow more air through the radiator and into the engine bay. Contact Blair Layman (@sciongrillelife) on Facebook or IG if you're looking for a mesh grill you can swap in.

Does a Scion tC 2014 back bumper fit on a 2012 Scion tC?

Yes, but you'll need new taillights as well.

Can you do a quick video om the rear bumper also? Great Video!
