That's all I was trying to bring attention to. I believe that BRGT86 has provided the answers. Thanks.

Sorry didn't mean to offend!
Yes they are a subsidiary of Toyota but not "Toyota" per se. Sort of like the old Shelby cars (not the 'Stang versions) were not really made by "Ford". I know it sounds like l am splitting hairs but half the people here will soon be expecting to see these cars rolling off the assembly line next to the stock versions. That is not the case at all as they are pretty much custom built from a few basic 86 components and loads of non standard parts.
Cars like these (although certainly cool) always bring out the "why can't we have that engine/tranny/body kit for the cost of a stock one" crowd and no matter how many people explain the economics behind them most still just say "ya but I want it".
