Once you see HOW the griffon works, you can look back on the TRD and see griffon influences (honestly, it might be the other way around. TRD kit came first), but see why they don't really work. The TRD parts, for the most part, are just pretty little posers. Which is why toyota sells so much of it. It looks good! And it LOOKS a lot like their race car.

Example:
My stillen wing is a smaller verson of a fully functional wing, so it has "racing influence" but it's not really doing much. It would have to be a good 5 to 10 times bigger to actually work and create usable downforce on the rear end.

I get what you are saying. All the parts coming out are designed for practical street/weekend racer speeds. I'm not sure how many of us are able to even come close to the speeds the Griffon sees and therefore we don't need aero as extreme as seen on that car. As far as my example I should have said rev.3 vs newest TRD pic (canards, etc...)
