TRD Kit fitment

[CrazyWookiee]

Nope. You don't. There's clips included to extend the fender liner inwards (the metal section). Then you just screw them into those clips. What areas are you guys drilling into? As far as I knows, the replica is the only one that requires drilling.

Another thing is that if the drilling is in the front wheels liner, in Canada our cars come with factory mudflaps (which afaik, requires no drilling for you guys), so after the removal of this factory mudflap, i screw into those existing holes.

Here in SA, we get it directly from toyota dealerships.
It comes unpainted and they not do fitment though.
You can also get it at www.trdparts.jp. I think that a replica though and it doesnt come with the clips for fitment.

Cant wait to get the kit and put it on now... cosmetic modifications only... until the warranty runs out.

How does the back look? Did you add some sort of Apron to even out the lines around the car, or does it look fine naked?

I've been thinking of only doing the skirts and front (don't care for the quad exhaust of the TRD rear), but feel like the car might feel visually uneven. Any thoughts?

For the rear, we added the OEM lower diffuser piece (available as a Subaru option/accessory). For the rear bumper (side), we added carbon fiber splitters.

I see there is no DIY for this so if i can get more info, i will do a DIY for the fitment. Anyone here with a TRD kit have out the box photos of the components (front bumper, rear bumper, boot spoiler, skirts) and how it fits onto the car will be helpful?

Also wanna know if i need to cut or drill into the body of my car for the fitment?

Thank you

I bought, painted and put on the entire kit...front, rear, sides and spoiler. Fitment was perfect, couldn't have asked for better. All the pieces have tape applied where its needed. Just make sure when painting that they use a matte finish on the black areas. Kit includes stick on masks for the weird shapes on the front splitter area....although my painter was easily able to mask it without using the supplied masks. Every nut, bolt, washer and screw was included.

Front required 2 small holes into the bumper for 2 screws that help hold the front license plate area to the OEM bumper. Not completely necessary, but they do add some strength to that area. No other drilling was necessary as the kit uses existing holes in the wheel wells.

If you put on the rear bumper part, it requires cutting/trimming the OEM black diffuser area on both sides to make room for the larger quad-tip exhaust. Check the instruction sheets. It's not hard, didn't even have to take off the rear bumper.

Truly nicely done parts, I would do all this again in a heartbeat, looks great IMHO!

did you have everything paint matched before they went on? Or can a paint match be done with it already on the car?
