I'm sure some TRD stuff is legit, but can someone explain to me why you would trust a company that also makes sells this sh.t and makes outrageous claims for it?
Note all the usual "scientific" looking graphics and descriptions that actually say nothing at all (the same claims they make for very single one of their "braces" too).

Much better TRD fuel cap cover? TRD door stabilizers?

The door stabilizers actually makes the car feel cool when you close the door, I like them

Still, they are marketed not "cooler door operating sound", but "improving handling" . Sometimes i wonder, why TRD missed sales opportunity with those fuel economy enhancing magnets, throttle controllers and alike stuff
