Best Quad Tip Diffuser Cover???
 
A couple of months ago someone managed to damage the black plastic portion of my rear bumper. In an attempt to fix it I have decided to add the "TRD style" diffuser cover. I noticed that seibon makes a TB-style cover that mimics the TRD cover. However I have been seeing very negative reviews regarding seibon as such I am hesitant to pull the trigger if the fitment/customer service is not sufficient. Does anyone have any recommendations? The piece itself does not need to be CF but could rather be ABS or fiberglass in which case I would need to find a good paint shop in the Austin area but ill save that for another thread. Thanks

Well are you looking for more TRD cutouts or the actual rear bumper?

Mainly looking for more cutouts that mimic the TRD quad tip cutout.

I believe there isn't much on the market... but you can just always order the TRD cutouts and then wrap them in carbon fiber if you really want that look.

I guess another question I should ask it regarding Seibons quality control. The reviews I read on this forum were around 2012-2103 when our cars first came out. Have they since fixed there fitment and clear coat issues and are there any recent reviews that I overlooked?

unfortunately I wouldn't know the answer to that question as I haven't bought anything from seibon. I do remember there was a carbon fiber TRD knock off bumper that one of the forum's vendors use to carry and then they dropped it from their website when they found out how shit quality it was. Now if this is the seibon one you're talking about then I would take the vendor's word, if a vendor drops something off their website due to quality it must be real shitty and shouldnt ever consider buying it even from another vendor.

HKS has a dual tip exhaust that comes with bumper garnishment, not sure if they sell it separately.

I contacted HKS about these, their part number is G52970-F31010-00 and retails for $600......that's half the cost of the whole system!
