Boo!


John - contact Steve Ganz at Carson Toyota (if you can get a hold of him!) and see if he can get you pricing on the kit...but know this, it's not going to be cheap and it's not going to get to you quickly. I believe it's a $3000 kit for F/S/R with at least a 8 week wait...if not longer....

And there's still the other parts that you may want which all cost extra...trunk spoiler (~$480), roof spoiler (~$480) and foglights (~$200)...

Good sheit ain't cheap....


Pat - yes, that does look like the Vlene spoiler....

I think those are BBS LM, notice the stepped lip and rivets at the end points how they line up with the spokes...
