Default TRD for RC F

Anyone know how or where we can buy TRD products for our cars here in the U.S? Interested in a couple parts!

Thanks

Personally, stay away. The parts are overly expensive, and there a lot of options out there for solid replacements. For example, I have all the TOMS underbracing. Paid close to 1K shipped. TRD prices for the same parts are over 4k.

Not telling you how to spend your money, just showing the dollar can go further.

OP,
TRD carbon fiber aero stuff are discontinued.
They are still making performance parts like exhaust, coilovers, etc.
(Sorry for the below thread jack)

JB,
you get them? Installed yet?
mine are suppose to show up tomorrow. Install Thursday. Track day next Wednesday. Perfect timing!!
My blitzs front bar is on too. Now I can adjust the front Penskes much easier!!

I don't believe this to be true, the IS-F carbon fiber aero has been discontinued, but the RC-F aero and other TRD parts are available. Also, it's the old "get what you pay for". Yes, TOMS is cheaper and amazing fitment for the price point (I used to have the TOMS front diffuser on my IS-F), but it doesn't even come close to TRD quality. And TRD aero parts are designed to be functional and are wind tunnel tested. However, just to give you an idea of the price-point you're looking at with TRD, the RC-F TRD front carbon spoiler is $3,162.00. Rear diffuser is $3,906.
If you're looking for the parts, I would start with NIGEL JDM PARTS, I'm betting he can source them. If not, PM me and I'll send you to a website that sells them (I don't think I can post it here because they're not a forum sponsor)

^^^ only heard this via JT2MA71 who actually owns TRD hood & spoiler. His jdm guy told him that. I actually don't positively know. My apologies if that info is incorrect.
May be Ron can chime in?

I have a write up on here about my TOMS pieces. I love the stiffness of the car. I used google translate to read the docs, as well a NM to TQ conversion on google. Basically, you need a lift. Truest form of a BOLT ON. Should take you long *as long as you have a lift

The TRD Japan parts for the RCF are no longer produced, this is according to my source in Japan who dealt directly with the main TRD guy to get to them to make one last rear spoiler for me. Not sure how true this is but it sucks, I wanted to get the underbody aero and brace set but I waited tool long. My hood is just from Lexus Japan though. TRD carbon parts are on a very different level when it comes to quality.

They're available, but you gotta have a RCF in Japan to get these parts.

We have a set of TRD RCF wheel for sell, and some other TRD RCF parts available if anyone is interested.

And yes, TRD quality is totally different than Tom's, they're not in the same level if you have seen them in person.

^^^^So you have some TRD stuff for sale. The only TRD wheels I see are really for the RC F-Sport and are too narrow for the RCF:

Are there others?

For us that are not in Japan, or don't have an RCF registered in Japan, does it mean there's no way to get the still available parts? What TRD parts do you have available for the RCF? I remember my source saying something like this so he was looking for someone over there whose VIN he can use.

Thanks.
