Default TRD F-Sport front conversion

I think I am done for now, here is a peak at what I just finished doing and waiting for 2 month on the TRD kit from Japan, thanks to Nigel-JDM for taking care of it, and thanks to my friend Pete at Pete's Collision in Pasadena for getting the paint done and matching that SFP color.I will take more photos next week when it stops raining here after a good wash and wax , showing off the whole car.

Looks good, but isn't it kinda ricey to do a bumper swap to a model that is performance oriented? I guess only if you throw F Sport badges on the sides...

Love the fogs too. Too bad we don't get those stateside, or the badass multiple LED projectors the JDM model gets.

the only reason i did that , because the TRD kit only fits the F Sport bumper, which kind of sucks, but at least I have the full BBK on it so that does not look ricey , my intention was to be TRD since I have the Stoptech BBK which is the TRD brake manufacture, and I was the first to have it.it is something different.

It's ricey to suggest that something that isn't ricey is ricey.
