frs release series front lip?

[JOSI]

I know of a gentleman from my town who got in a small fender bender and the body shop that fixed his car sourced him an RS lip to replace his TRD that got damaged. Shop owner said unless you own a Lamborghini Veneno there's no such thing as exclusive parts.

Do you need the part numbers? I dont know why the dealer wouldnt sell you. The front spoiler cost more than $3000 alone I am sure...

No, the part numbers I can find if I was interested. I was just pointing out like other above that RS parts are limited edition and while yes they are expensive the dealers are not supposed to sell them without authenticating you own one; and many hold to this as people found with the 10 series parts.

And I'm not saying no dealers will sell them, but you need to spend time finding one and hope they are local cuz shipping would suck.

I understand why they do it, but lets be completely honest here. As much as I love my car, it is in no way shape or form the brand or model to be anything truly special as far as exclusive cars go. Reminds me of the overpriced FA Mugen Si.
Wow, they put a lip kit on it, a couple of little trick pieces in the interior, new wheels, and slapped a number plate on it so I can show my friends "how special" my car and I are.

Owner "Look at my new car man! Special Edition! Only 1500 made....Exclusivity comes at a price though."
Friend "Nice what does it come with!?"
Owner shows friend all of the special edition asthetic parts that those base model guys can't buy.
Friend "What else is different?"
Owner "Well, umm.....but.....dude! Did you forget the number plate!?"

I'm really not trying to s*#t on anyone's decision to buy one. You may have bought it because you truly do not want to change a thing on the car and love it exactly the way it is. Plus the fact of knowing that you have a fixed up looking twin from the factory with warranty and all tickles your fancy. If you bought it simply because of the "special edition" different story.

For example, I can understand if you have a C class Merc and you want to make it look like C63 AMG Black Series. AMG however denies selling you parts without a VIN to keep "exclusivity" because that car shares nothing except a chassis with your C class. A real exclusive car. Not just something that allows the manufacturer to hike up the MSRP and the dealer to tack on some number Joe Shmoe in the back came up with #becauseexclusive.

Que hate.....

Customize the readily available TRD front lip, it is 90% the same already and available in knock offs all over

If you want the OEM part code for it the part code is PZ32118002. I just had to get mine replaced on the insurances dime and I work at a body shop and with plenty of digging the part number was found. Be aware this is very pricey option if you want to make a non release series look like one and the splitter is already painted the yuzu yellow. the price on the splitter alone is $1,958.68. If you are looking to convert your car to have the oem looking splitter I would recommend the one from the link here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/37220509738...RoClyEQAvD_BwE

They probably don't even own the car anymore since it is now 7 years since they asked the question.

As noted by others above the part number isn't the issue. The dealers will not usually sell you one without a VIN to prove you have the car.
