Whats the difference between the two? I know L-Tuned is pretty much TRD. What about L-Sportline? Is that another dept? Or a completely different manufactuer? Just Wondering. TIA

L-Tuned is pretty much the the TRD department of Lexus, though they are doing a pretty half assed job so far. If you get L-Tuned parts installed by your dealer, you retain your warranty.

L-Sportline is a completely different manufacturer entirely, in no relation to Lexus, but they have a lot more parts available, ranging from bodykits to performance mods.

As you have said, L-Tuned is essentially TRD, and in particular TRD USA, not be be confused with the folks in Japan. The L-Tuned parts are domestically made or made to the domestic specifications by TRD USA.

L-Sportline is a totally different company, by the people from Dazz wheels.

L-Tuned and L-Sportline have overlapping products.
