I think the body shop did some prepping but it wasn't a lot. He painted them all red and then taped and painted matte black for some sections.

I did the install at home and have never done any body work but I'm a skilled mechanic so it wasn't that hard. Only drilling required is for the front bumper to attach brackets and all you need is a hole saw adapter the right size. The markings are behind the bumper so you don't even need to measure the drill guides are there too.

There is only one hack thou. When you install the side skirts you need to use a dremel to cut a line in your fender inner plastic or mud guard so that it sits perfectly even. I'll see if I can take some pics later.

If you search for T style scion frs or TR-D wing frs it will show up. I paid about 80$ shipped.

That's another thing I forgot to add, if anyone cares to know the total cost of the kit ended up being:
580$ for the front kit painted
140$ for the TRD side skirts
81$ for the bumper aprons
200$ for painting
80$ rear wing plus 65$ for paint
1 day of work installing everything.

So 1146$ for everything installed if you do it yourself. Not bad
Not bad at all! I might have to get this!

Did you use the brackets for the Nur spec? or just double sided tape?

The Nur Spec uses brackets to clip in. It has push clips on the underside of the car and it comes with tapes pre-applied and strips to pull them out once in place. It really isn't that difficult. If you can remove the bumper the rest is very easy.

Once you remove the bumper and drill the holes you install the clips in place (with screws) and they stay with the bumper. I clipped in both sides then clipped the center section. After that I installed the bumper and proceeded with putting all the push in clips and removing the adhesive strips with care.

Nur Spec front lip. or Toyota aero. It's hard to find but you can find it on Nigel JDM. Japan parts doesn't have it anymore to my knowledge. Then again... I'm selling my front lip if you're interested.

I would ask around and keep your eyes open for the Nur-Spec stuff. A lot of it, especially in white, have been completely sold out due to the parts being discontinued. I got some of my TRD parts, like the sideskirts, from japanparts.com. I would try japanparts.com, 86worx.com, or nigeljdmparts.com.
