Any thoughts?
 
So i was searching around for body kits and i found this one and i know this is a TRD replica and don't get me wrong i love TRD but their pricing is a little steep. If anyone has had experience with this or something similar or a better replica, advice would be great. Thanks everyone!

Subscribed. I like this kit you found. I am also looking for a body kit. I also like that it doesn't take 2-3 weeks to arrive.

Isn't the oem TRD kit poly/urethane/abs? Fiberglass lower ground effects suck, if you don't mind them then the kit is definatly cheap enough to dive in.

Check my other threads... I have a chargeback going with extreme dimensions. The parts are FIBERGLASS, the fitment was horrible. They did not match or line up at all. All the parts are meant to be MOLDED to the body - requiring HUNDREDS of hours of body work. They had fiberglass chips and cracks throughout, and if you sneezed at the part it would crack after you painted it.

I highly highly suggest you research fiberglass vs ABS or polyurethane before you even consider an extreme dimension part. I lost $1500 over it.

Alright that sounds better. Was the fitment spot on or was there minor modifications? One last thing do you have a picture of the kit on your car?

Boobies, those are my thoughts.

There is already a thread somewhere on the ABS replica. I'll see if I can dig it up.
