Minor update but I'm so hyped right now.
So a few years back, when I first saw the GR lip for the Kouki 86, I knew that's what I wanted if I ever got another 86.
I'm a huge fan of the way it looks. Problem is it's soooo difficult to find somebody who can source it. Well, I went through a couple contacts I've met and known over the years who are now in Japan and they were able to put in an inquiry to see if they could get it.
Good news: THEY CAN!
Bad news: Direct from Toyota, the full lip is about $1,600 before shipping costs
LUCKILY, I was able to find a used one on Yahoo Japan. There were 24 bids, price was only at $120 when I placed my bid. My max bid was set at $700, expecting the auction to go pretty high. To my surprise, I won the action... for $286!
Shipping to the warehouse in JP then to the US will run about $300 or so, so all in all, I'm in about $600. The side pieces and hardware I already have a quote for direct from Toyota JP for $200 shipped, so it seems as though as I was able to score one of these for about $800 total, which is less than half the price of buying and shipping a brand new one.
I do have the full parts list between hardware, the lip, and side pieces though after a bunch of research. So if anybody is also looking to pick up a GR lip for their Kouki 86, I can provide those numbers.
