Seriously don't know why I like that grille piece so much, just haven't seen any other front bumper or lip that looks as nice as the aero does- think it might be the way it makes that front portion of the car stick out a little, making it more aggressive over stock. Only got the splitter I currently have because it came with splitter rods I could position in the same spot as where the aero grille piece sticks out which you can see here Last edited by Sam86; 08-14-2020 at 09:20 AM. |

I just remembered an example from my buddy's car who has the nur spec lip until an accident happened. The last two pictures will show you how much gap I am talking about for the middle section not to work properly with a splitter unless you have the full setup or willing to completely chop it up and make it from ground up. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuR5zEIH...vqvJektBZt2I0/ |

Still desire this bumper and have made a dumb financial decision that I’ll update everyone on the result of who may also be unrealistically interested in this bumper.
I couldn’t find anyone willing to sell me one so I have purchased a replica bumper, and also ordered the OEM ‘front grille surround’ from the local Toyota dealership. I’m putting a lot of hope in the replica being close enough that the OEM aero piece will somehow fit, or at least I can make it work with little effort. The tiny, non-painted grille surround costs more than the whole replica bumper lip itself hence the poor financial decision. Was honestly surprised they still had factory aero/ ‘nur spec’ parts available. I enquired when I originally made this post and had no response from the dealer |

I've also seen a replica but it was missing the black vertical pieces in the middle that attach to the grill.
It also had some bumps in the middle that almost look like a vortex generator. It doesn't look too off but you can definitely tell it is a rep.

Don’t like the vortex bumps and don’t know why the replica has them but they won’t be noticeable since it’ll be painted black. Hope the vertical piece fits, looking at photos of the real bumper I should only have to trim off some tabs at the bottom. Edit- just found out the grill piece actually has a painted part across the bottom which i had no idea about, thought it just sat over the existing bumper bar. Looks like I’ll definitely have to modify the replica bumper and cut off that bar with the vortex so it may actually look completely OEM if I do a good job of it. I’ll post another picture once I get it painted and successfully fit the OEM grille piece Last edited by Sam86; 06-26-2021 at 02:06 AM. |

I was lucky enough to find the whole front lip brand new last year but it seems like it might have been the very last one? Other's have reached out to the shop I got mine from but they were told they aren't made any more. You may want to check NigelJDM. It wouldn't hurt to contact them in regards to possibly getting one. Just be prepared that international shipping will be a lot, especially it coming straight from Japan. The front lip is a 3 piece lip. You may have to do some heavy modifications in order to fit the middle piece to the rep. I have a few more photos on my build page(shameless plug).

Very hard to find images of the aero lip disassembled. I remember someone else posting it here but couldn’t find it. I think I may just cut the replica bumper into 2 seperate parts like the OEM bumper and then attach the middle piece directly to the car with bolts and glue sealant. I’ve checked out NigelJDM in the past but I wasn’t sure whether they were OEM or not, and even if they were they didn’t have black available and the shipping price was way too high. I’ve been searching local Facebook groups and marketplace for the past year for a OEM bumper and only ever came close to getting my hands on one once but the guy was too lazy to ship |

I've done the same amount of research for this lip(local markets, forums, asking others on advice to obtain it) and I feel your pain. Sometimes the deal wasn't meant to be and hopefully there will be a better one. Best of luck on your build!

Received my front under spoiler. Had no guarantee it was going to match but I’m fairly confident now it’ll work out. It looks like it’ll go over the side pods of the replica spoiler so any bad cut lines will be covered up anyway. Only part I have to get right is the bottom cut

Incase you were wondering what the car looks like with just the grille piece as I originally did back on this thread. You could honestly get away with it if you have a splitter. It’s not fully in place in the photo because I didn’t want to take off my bumper, but you get the idea.
Bought a dremel to cut up the side pods off the replica aero bumper. Fingers crossed I don’t mess it up Last edited by Sam86; 07-02-2021 at 11:37 PM. |
