Default On the fifth day of Christmas my SC gave to me....

A BIG FRIGGING BUMP ON MY SKULL!

OEM Toyota parts become more and more epic the longer I do this
I'm not a big aftermarket part guy anyway, but everytime I make a compromise....I regret it.

Example number 467

Stock trunk lifts for SC300 = 16 years

Aftermarket trunk lifts for SC300 = 3 years

If Toyota/Lexus make a part for your car that requires any amount of math/material science and engineering, buy it!

Yes, there are many exceptions but you pay mucho $$$ for them.
