TRD clearance?

Hello,

Just bought my (first Toyota) GT86...but in doubt whether or not I should buy the TDR. It looks hot but I'm concerned about the clearance (and bumps, speedbumps, elevations...) Can someone measure their TRD-equipped car? I would be very grateful

thanks

At stock height. You'll clear it w/ no issues. But at stock height. I think the car looks terrible.

From his remarks in the intro thread, I think he is talking about the TRD bodykit.

I've got all the TRD body pieces, and essentially nothing is really lower than the stock body panels.

The front chin sticks forward (not down) maybe 2 inches farther than the stock front end, but the car has a fairly short overhang already...so that couple of inches doesn't really amount to much.

Thanx

Decided to install the TRD-kit. This was last thursdaymorning in the local garage:

Since then no news... (and it's mondayevening here in Europe)

How long does it take to install the bodykit? (I know: 'patience' isn't my middle name )
