it goes both ways i guess, not meaning to trash on the thread. its like someone who would pay top $ for hid kit because of a well known sponsor, when some would rather spend the 60$ on a ebay digi kit etc etc. but just my opinion i think that 249 for a fiberglass "lip" not a full bumper is pretty expensive.

The sad part about it is.. that's a TTE lip in their catalog picture. Good grief.

Like others have said, that's too expensive for a fiberglass knockoff. At least if it was poly. Spend the extra $100 and get an authentic of better quality.

Toyota &Toyota Motorsport is one company that these knock off artists should avoid.. There are copyrights & patents filed world wide for Toyota and its subsidiaries.. Stick with the real deal TTE. They make some quality parts out of quality material that does not require modification to fit on your vehicle.

Speaking of TTE, there are some hot items on their website!

I may look into parts TTE parts for the Rav4 after seeing this..

Gotta agree with the consensus on this one; I'd prefer to avoid knockoffs but it might have been worth checking out if it was urethane but I wouldn't dare put a fiberglass front lip on my car.

Who would produce a knock off of a $300 lip to sell for 2XX?

I wouldn't support any company that rips ideas of others hard work

hmn what about a TTE style C/F lip? would anyone here rock those?

I'm thinking about getting a TTE lip but I can get a TTE CF lip for the same price(exact-fitment) (without any mismatches)
