TRD sits lower. The way the lip sits on that car, it's either an EMR or VIS replica of the EMR.

either way its a nice finish to the front end. i always thought the front neede just a lil something to make it appear complete.

do you know if these lips are still produced? i was just going to go with the RMM lip but i didnt think it matched the oem look of the rest of the car as well as this style.

definitely agree with you on that one.. i had it on my IS300 before i ran over a ladder on the fwy.. haha

the lips are no longer produced. One would be lucky to find one on Ebay for sale.. RMM is clean, especially if you find one without the CF splitter portion.

i didnt say we couldnt. but work backwards from $9000 on that turbo'd one and its a pretty good deal for someone looking for an IS. probably going to need some work. tranny possible and such. just was bored and was interested in how cheap some of these were.
