If not obvious I would but they take pictures of each car as it crosses and that stand out a bit too much. Would end up paying way more if caught. Not to mention the hassle I would have every time I crossed the border from then on. Also still would cost me 30% more for the part and shipping since still in US funds.

TRD louvers for about 900 shipped to US

found this seller last night and ordered a certain hard-to-obtain new-on-the-market shift knob, they have some neat stuff

What shift knob was it? The maroon TS one?

I've used Japex to import into the UK a number of times and I know others who have to, no-one has a bad thing to say to say about him

Considering that I'll never spend $900+ on louvers I'm really glad there's a TRD rep out now. I'll wait to see how both these and the Ikon's hold up, but I'm glad there are options out now.

Nope they droop. Better picture of them on a black car someplace. Would look OK with the right body kit but on an otherwise stock car they may look a bit out of place.

Couldn't find a better photo, but that seems to be the IKON standard style that the middle ones are angled differently than the ends. I think I would have to see it in person before committing to either this or the SickSpeed.

I can't remember what thread the picture of the black car was in. It showed the droop really clearly.

That is them on a TRD body kited body. Well the top pic is. I am not sure what the bottom one has on it. That works (in my eyes) since there are more angles and flow to compliment the droop. The fully stock body has no lines that flow with the droop so it just looks odd (again, to me). It is too complex for the very simple and basic lines on stock.

I agree, they don't work for every build. But they are similarly priced with the sickspeed, and i'd personally trust ikon for a better quality part.

I think the "droop" is really more an artifact of the middle blades being wider than the ends, and are angled. If you look at the rear shot on the widebody they don't really droop, but are straight across spacing wise when looked at straight on. The bottom one appears to droop but that is because of the angle of the shot as you are seeing the extended blade where the others you are looking edge on.

Maybe we are calling droop two different things. I thought the sagged in the middle basically, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
