This is the "old" Tom's VA300 kit. I think that's the same front bumper that Captain Bone got. The new Tom's kit is a bit different. Both are nice in their own way.

lol?

It seems maybe you think the "Tom's" part was just something that was made up? Tom's racing is an actual outfit in japan that does some serious mods to Toyota and Lexus vehicles. Especially supras.

I have all of Tom's chassis bracing installed on my GS4 and it made a night and day difference. (F&RSTB, F&RLCB, 6-pc rear kit)

Its not really a 430 either. Its a TT 3.0 I6. I would take that over a 430 anyday.

I love that front bumper. It is the same as Captain Bones. Anyone know if those are stock side skirts or aftermarket? Any side shots?

All these people talking about my front bumper but no one talking about my "rear".

Thanks guys. The front bumper does look awful familiar.
