TRC kit pic requests and questions answered!
I've had many pm's with questions and pic requests about my TRC kit in the past few weeks. I apologize to anyone whose pm i did not reply to and the delay, but here it goes! Click on pics for larger view!
Visible mods:
TRC Kit with quad exhaust
Smoked out headlights, taillights and reflectors overlays by Aerotect
19 inch Charcoal HRE 542R. 245/35, 275/35 Toyo T1R
Lowered on TEIN CS
40% tint all around
Lexon roof spoiler
JDM Lexus side visors
Black pearl emblems
Painted grill
CLUBLEXUS sticker!
And now to answer some of the common questions about the kit.
Q. Where did you get your TRC kit from?
I ordered it straight from their headquarters in Germany. You can find their contact information and prices at www.trc-tuning.com. The exhaust is not listed on their site. You have to email one of their sales representatives for the price and info on that.
Q. How much did the kit cost you?
The kit and the exhaust cost me around 2300 euros (about 3200 usd), including shipping. This price includes a 15% discount because mine was the first 350 to try on the exhaust.
Q. How long did the shipping take?
It took the kit just over 3 weeks to physically be in the body shop from the time I made the payment.
Q. How much would the front lip cost with shipping?
I would not know because I ordered the kit as a set. Again, all prices are listed on their website www.trc-tuning.com and for shipping prices you can email their head at michael.landthaler@trc-tuning.com. Although he does not speak very good English, his replies are prompt and he is very eager to help. This goes for any specific piece of the kit.
Q. Shipping prices from Germany are crazy, is there any other place where I can place my order?
Someone at a local meet told me he contacted Carson Toyota about the TRC kit. They said they would do it but it costs about the same as ordering it from TRC themselves.
Q. Did it come pre-painted? How much to paint?
No, it did not come pre-painted. Prices on paint jobs vary depending on the quality you are looking for. You can probably show a picture of the kit and get a quote from your favorite body shop.
Q. How is the fitment?
The kit is more bulky than OEM, and with the same amount of drill spots/holes, it does not fit as well as the original. The side skirts are the ones that gave me the most problems but a few clips solved the problems.
Q. How does the exhaust sound?
I’ve tried taking some videos but failed miserably so if you in the socal area and want to hear it for yourself, come down to one of the many meets held.
Q. Where did you get the CLUBLEXUS sticker from?
I got it from an old member who had a couple extra lying around. He distributed them and HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYMORE! I won't post his name so he won't be flooded with PMs. They were made over 2 years ago and no longer distributed due to copyright reasons if i'm not wrong.
If your question was not answered here, please feel free to pm me and I will do my best to answer your question.
