| Posted: 8/11/08 9:28PM Post subject: Just bought TRD bumper vents |
|
|
Like the title reads, i just bought the bumper vents from Kendall Toyota here in Miami for 7 dollars.... I went to Toyota of south florida off the 826 and for the same part they wanted 22 dollars! Just a heads up! Kendall Toyota has you hooked up!
Are these difficult to install by the way?
Anything i should know?
Thanks! |

pop off the black thing off your bumper( i forgot what it was called, the black lining around the inside of the wheel well) pop off bumper vent, replace with trd one.

An even easier way to install it is take a flat head screwdriver and gently pry the tabs off... Just use the after market vent as a reference and insert the flat head in between the bumper and the plastic plate. Be careful NOT to scratch ur bumper... after you disconect all 6 tabs remove old plate and insert new vent into the opening and pull it into place... make sure all 6 tabs click into place and that it is secure...
DONT drop either pieces into the wheel well area PITA to get out... |

TRD bumper vent part Number -PTR0352084.
Just go to the dealer with that number.
Does it make any bit of a difference? I just wanted it to stand out! haha, the only thing ive done to the car is Tints... I got it a week from saturday! |

| It only helps if you have a Cold air intake... Might bring down engine bay temp a little, but i doubt it... |

| there is no matching for the passenger side. there was another member that bought 2 and tried to just flip it to fit it in but it doesnt work like that. the vents are not symmetrical like that. plus whats the point of putting the vent on the passenger side? to cool the wiper fluid? :P |

i bought mine at work. Costed me like $2.79 total after tax lol
I pulled the bumper off the car to do it because i wanted to see what it took to get the bumper off. Now ive taken the bumper off 4 times to do a couple installs. Tonight it will be off again for HID headlights and foglight ballast mounting. |
