LOL, looks like I just got my answer, "…which looks like it was made at the same place where Lexus makes the carbon parts for the LF-A."
I don't think any reputable tuning company is ever going to make a Carbon Fibre Strut brace with 'fake' carbon fibre.

I don't see why they would need to use the same factory that made the LFA to make a simple carbon fibre tube. Would be pretty cool if they did but hardly necessary.

Those look like the old school TRD gauges that were discontinued around 6 years ago. Good to see all these aftermarket companies making a comeback.

God I'm going to be so broke once I but this car. And I gotta agree I was all about the whiteout until I saw how good this looks in black.

How on earth the prize would be same if you put in more expensive engine ??

Black is just so hard to keep clean and every single scratch will stand like sh1t stains on a mattress.

IMO the TRD pieces are the best looking stuff being offered by any of the tuner companies. Not overdone. Enhances the car rather than detracting from it. Class upgrades.

tlp - thats why i didnt want black to begin with actually. It just looks so nice, in photos. But yeah i will probably stick to the Whiteout. In LA dings and random scratches are too damn common.

Rampage - Agreed. The whole setup just fits the original design better than all the other body kits, that are too beefy and or ricey. This just feels a factory upgrade, not just some mods you slapped together.

I'm not a fan of most black cars, but I really like this 86 with its red accents. In certain angles it almost looks like the asphalt gray, which I'm sure will look just as good with the red accents.

I wish they would've had a quicksilver colour like in the late model Supras. That would've been my choice. Easy to keep clean and even when a bit dirty it still looks clean. Not a fan of the darker grey that they have going though so I'm sticking with the whiteout.

TRD has always had the best styling. I wonder if they're planning a TRD Widebody 86. Now THATS something worth saving your penny's for!

Sadly, I don't think pennies will be enough for this kit. I'm thinking an irresponsibly spent amount of dollars is involved with this one.

The quad exhaust is sexy as hell, but a touch tacky for an NA 2.0, lol.
