If you want to buy the OEM lip kit, go to www.trdsparks.com

It's like $800 and comes painted.

I also just installed the OEM kit last week...



Removing the clips under the side skirts was probably the hardest part. Also the the instructions tell you to replace the bumpers after you drill the holes for the slots. We did the back that way, but on the front we put the lip on with the bumper off the car and it was a lot easier. Now I just need to go back and slightly enlarge the holes at the ends of the side skirts so I can get them to fit just right...

Also, scionpartspeople.com has the lowest total price, compared to Sparks and McGeorge. $880 shipped. Dealers are *supposed to* charge $1000 installed. We have 7% sales tax here, so I saved $190 by doing it myself.

Huh? Are you talking about the WHOLE ground effects kit or just the Lip? I found this at their site...
http://trdsparks.com/displayparts.ph...7&parts_id=585
It's primered not colored, but its not $800. Just trying to avoid some confusion on the set up.

The more I look at the Lip, the more I want to buy it! Damn you all! Looks real good sema!

i thought removing the clips was the easiest part. all you do is push the center button and it pops out. the claws were the hardest. it almost seems as if the thing is gonna break. but nice car man.

thanks blackonblack. my first idea was to put oem sides and rear w/ rs1 cf lip in front, but i decided i cant live with the gaps. i honestly would go with the oem lip kit, fitment is perfect and never goes out of style. body kits get old after awhile...well good luck man, still getting wheels??????
