You seriously think that Toyota might not "discount" some of these kits to chosen race teams?

You, Bubba, ain't gettin' no discount
This isn't F1. Any team can buy any of the homologated cars and use it in the series, that's the idea of the homologation rules in these kinds of series. The rule is there so that one team can't gain an unfair advantage by putting on a part that isn't available to other teams.

Here is the one for Pirelli world challenge, but there is no price:

Scion Racing doesn't sell bodies in white like this, but you could go to any dealer and buy all the parts to build your Pirelli World challenge FR-S and enter it in the series. The team that is building the Scion also put on an Agency Power header and Hewland 5 speed transmission which you can read all about here:
