Well, I've been browsing around the forum...
trying to find some body kits for my GS... then I came across this company called TTE.
Most of time when TTE was metioned in the post... It had OEM attatched to it??
Why are they considered as OEM??
Or, Is TRD called TTE in DE??

Just want to find out more about them that's all... Thanks in advance!

 

TTE = Toyota Team Europe.

They are not TRD but they are like TRD, just the European version.

 

I see...
I just find out 'GS 300 Limited Edition' in Europe comes with TTE body kit...

 

I believe it is just the front lip and grille. Not sure about the spoiler. I think "TTE body kit" is a stretch of the term.

I looked at their TTE Compressor once for my RX300, but way too much $$$.

 

Toyota Team Europe is Toyota owned company that creates and sells accesories for Toyota's in Europe.

They also handled Toyota's WRC effors (where they were most sucessful manufacturers ever) and are now responsible for F1 effort which is headed from TTE factory in Koln.

 

They also were the first with the IS 430..... I have that article in my Sports Car International

 

that was definitely a high point of their company history imho. although i have to say, afterwards, they have been very quiet

 

there be an IS 460 Coupe coming supposedly

 

Are you talking mk2 or mk3 here?

 

06 3GS...

 

They made the Mk2 with a lip, grille and rear spoiler too (Factory options). Mk1's had wheels (18x9 front / 18x10 rear). They also make a top speed "delimiter" for the GS300/GS430 to remove the 155mph speed limiter.

 

Aswell as a coiloverkit...thats discontinued now...

Actually they where Borbet-manufatured 8,5x18" AND 10x18" alloys And they will fit the mk2 too. And these could be bought as either TTE-wheels...or as Lexus-wheels...the latter having a two-tone paint...and more of a silvery finish to them. I had the TTE-version on my Supra a few years ago....if i remember correctly they are 40mm offset front and rear...a nice and subtle improvment they where...

Ahh...does anyone know if the still make this?

 

that would prove to be a very stupid decision if is500 is coming
