The service there is really good.

However, that car in particular has a story behind it. It was a fake kit that was put on in an unprofessional manner which they had to take off. The rear bumper, because was fake, was melted by the TRD exhaust that was added on. It's an example of mods gone poorly.

The car as it is at the dealer has had the poor aftermarket pieces removed and they ordered in new stock parts to replace the damaged parts.

I found the original listing here: http://www.autotrader.ca/a/Scion/FR-...O&orup=4_15_16

Ya, I would steer clear. Not because of the colour match (every pick I have seen of a white TRD kit it didn't match unless repainted) but because if it was a cheap kit and there are other know mods what else had been done to it that has been removed? God only know what could been done to it and how hard it was beat on.
