If you want the OEM ground effects, the shipping almost always gets you when it comes to price...

I ended up going through a local dealer, as they could get it to me for the same cost as the online venders, cause shipping was so expensive through them...

Install depends on if a dealer wants to rip you off or not... you are in SE land down there, so you could probably find someone local to help you with the install and do it for cheap/free, as it's rather easy... Post up in your regional area and I'm sure there is someone who has done it, or can do it and help you out... (it saves a bit of cash)

Wow, testing memory...

t was one of the first things I bought... I believe it was around 850 at the dealer with a little negotiation, the BSP painted OEM full kit...

I just took the trdsparks.com price to them and asked if they could meet or beat it... and bought a heck of a lot of other stuff as well...

It's really easy.... hardest part is cutting the holes in the front and rear bumper... but it's all staying inside the lines and you're good to go!

Another kit that would be an easy install would be the Viniati lip kit. Its cheaper then the OEM kit and it goes for $485 on our site. Click on the link below to see how the kits looks like. It think its an easier install then the oem since there is no cutting involved.
