on the side note; definitely getting that rear lip wing on my BRZ, everything else seem so tacky and "rice"
I want to see track times for cars with all the TRD crap on them and if they're noticeably less, or is it all overpriced plastic.

I am no stranger to the TRD sticker effect on Tacos and how calling Bilstein shocks, a Pep Boys cosmetic chin guard, TRD air filter, stickers here and there a "TRD tuned suspension package" suddenly adds 3k to the price.

Also, lowering a car usually only adds cosmetic effect. Engineers have already optimized the suspension for the roll center, and messing with that just makes for amusing antics on the track.

If anything I'd like to see the clowned out "JDM Dureefto" cars take a spin against a bare bones stocker and see how badly they do.
