Right now the only way to get them is to import them (Unless Carson Toyota has some special "in"), and the high cost to import paired with the poor dollar to yen exchange rate is making these parts seem ludicrously expensive right now. I for one would hold off for a year, enjoy the car in stock form and choose modifications wisely once the aftermarket has a chance to develop and test more parts. That should lower the price of the TRD parts to keep competitive with the aftermarket.
I will definitely take that to heart. Everything mentioned totally changed my view....haha im still changing those headlights though.
