Someone put Celica springs on the tC. Doubt they'd work that well since the tC is a pig in comparison.

just because both engines have variable valve timing, doesn't mean they have the same engine. Besides the wheels, I can't think of anything else that're swappable. Can't even use the tC antenna on the celica, however, the its possible going the other way around.
the 2AZFE swap has been debated and talked about. It hasn't been done, yet (could leave my opinion on that, but I'll refrain). Search for those threads.

It is from the TC to the Celica GT. I do car installs for a living.

I heard you got to do alot of other crap as well to make the conversion work. I've done alot of crap to make the LEDS in my radio blue, if the scion tc thing is true, I should've just did it instead.. how does the tc radio even look? I heard it can change colors.. as in lighting.

so i'm presuming from that response that the harness is plug-and-play. can it just as easily adapt to the GT-S? i've got an '04 with the 8 JBL speakers.

Not sure about the GTS but my son-in-law just plugged the TC radio in and whala sounded better than the Sony Explode Radio he had in it.

No, the GT-S is amplified behind the glove box, you would either have to do an amp bypass or the amp mod which has been discussed before. IMO not worth it for another stock radio.
