"Worthwhile" is subjective lol. Almost everything TRD prices out can be argued to be not "worth it."

But there's a chance these parts can happen because the MSRP is marked as "Prototype" (the louvers were once labeled "Prototype" and are now happening). All the one-off stuff (CFRP body pieces, stainless steel catless exhaust manifold, etc.) have MSRPs marked with a "-" (hypen) through them maybe because TRD never intends for those dashed items to reach production. The other "Prototype" labeled parts (BBK, transmission and suspension pieces) means the Griffon is still running the prototypes but the production version of those parts are now readily available.

TRD produced stuff like this for their previous sporty car of a similar demographic target when they offered uprated 2ZZ-GE internals/ECU bringing compression from 11.5:1 to 13.0:1: http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_engine-2zz-ge.html
