A few pix of the TRD special edition...

(Guess they were paranoid about someone stealing the shift knob....)

That much more $$ and it still doesn't come with fogs or special edition wheels... smh.

I don't like how you can see the yellow paint separating the front lip from the front bumper on the black side vents where the fogs usually are.

Looks hella cheap like an autozone replica or something.

I love the color!!

PNW FRS · 10-20-2014, 11:11 PM

I'm on the road today... traveling from Boise to Baker City.. and a new TRD edition gets on Hwy 84 near Caldwell. It had dealer lic frame -- showing Toyota of Tri-cities (WA).

In daylight... the color wasn't as "yellow" -- but still not my cup of tea. I don't like the circular indent thing above the quad exhaust tip.

Like previous posts... very strange that Toyota didn't put OEM fogs on this "special edition". And... the "body kit" items just don't look all that great.

But... I'm sure they will sell all 1,500 of these....

No idea... someone's weird "design element" for the bumper. It is on the yellow bumper cover and then on the black trim. Looks completely out of place... almost like something backed into the bumper and "cookie-cuttered" a circle... then you notice it is mirrored on the other side...

I'd say it's where the tow hooks mount. That's about where it is on mine I think.

I dunno.... these are not round pieces that could come off... they are sculpted into the bumper cover and trim. If they were for tow hooks... someone would have to cut out the "circle." (And.. the diameter of the circular indents are about the same size as the diameter of the exhaust tips.)

I was thinking somebody already stole the shift knob 0_0

Here's a picture of one in a more natural PNW setting

I saw this car in Saint Louis Toyota. It looks kind of cool, but desperately needs spacers with the lowered look. 30K for the car + tax is too much tho.
