I actually love how this looks! Paired with the Varis CF bonnet and I’m sold.

The 2015 release series 1.0 did well, though, it was also mostly tacked on plastic, apart from eibach springs and arbs. but they kept the design philosophy right. Not this time though.
100% agree with you.

People that design kits like this focus on having ‘aggressive details’ everywhere but completely ignore the line flow of the car. This TRD kit is a hot mess of random, glued on lines..

The side skirts seem a bit too fake for me but the rest is cool. TRD Japan has a cool site you can turn it on and off and compare.

The nicest thing I can say is I don't think any single item improves the stock look.

@JesseB Not including paint/labor, how much was the full kit? Did you also do the TRD rear with the quad-tip?

So I can say “looks good on you, though” and actually mean it. Don’t love this body kit but you executed it perfectly.
