My experience with TRD has been solely via the parts they offer for the AE86. These parts are basically the same parts they used back in the 80's when they were actively racing the cars. They are of the highest quality, and obviously guaranteed to fit properly, and are highly sought after.
Its true I haven't had any experience with the parts TRD puts out for their current cars, but given their past (and that its Toyota, who puts quality above all else) I would be surprised if they deviated from what they did for the AE86. Some of the best performance parts for the 86 come from TRD. And with the current CEO who's dead set on reviving Toyota's sports car heritage, and the fact this car is being marketed towards a young crowd who actively upgrade and mod their cars, I would expect a full lineup of engine, interior decorative, and suspension upgrades to be available from TRD either at or sometime shortly after the car is released.
Edit: Another thing to remember is that TRD parts (at least historically) will not void the car's warranty, unless specifically stated. |
I have never purchased anything from Mugen. I was sticking with J's Racing, Amuse, and ASM. But be that as it may, it's good to hear of the high quality that Toyota puts out for their parts. It's only a plus that most of their parts, like you say, don't void the warranty.
On a side note, it's great you're in Tennessee too. We'll have to get a NC/Tennessee thing going down the road.
