if i remember correctly the GB price was still pretty expensive last time, so expensive people were backing out because it was only like $20 off or something like that

I'm going to see if i can get them under $300 shipped. If so i think that'll be a good deal. Anyways no updates yet. But congrats on the new lip!

If your looking to save some cash, it would be best to wait for a painted one, as painting will run you another $150. Usually painted ones go for 350-400.

Just got a response from carson....

"Hello sir, while we would like to be able to offer that GB to the members again, unfortunately at this moment we are unable to do so. The Euro to the dollar is even worse than ot is against the yen. The cost to buy them and ship from europe makes it impossible to do any price lower than the 359.00 we currently have them listed.

Rest assured that when the currency startr to level out a little we will be bringing back those GB's again.

At the moment I do have them in stock if you need to purchase one

Any questions please feel free to email or call anytime"


I guess we will have to wait to next time??

I wouldn't wait too long for a group buy if you really want one, it's a lot harder than it sounds to get a gb together with enough people to get a discount and even then they can't take too much off the price. Maybe you'll get lucky and find one in your color in the classifieds soon tho, longshot but you never know.

I'd like a TTE lip but knowing my luck I'd hit some highway debris or another raccoon and bust it up the 1st week!

no l-tuned is here

TTE is in europe

TTE is the european version of TRD i think

if your in europe check out this site, you might get a better price since they dont have to ship to us before they sell it and shipping cost shouldnt be much

I called TTE directly as I got in touch with sales. The thing is that they speak fluent german and I don't so I resorted to emailing.

Let's see what response I get.

I had told them I would set up a drop shipment/port location and purchase about 50 qty. As well as a 50 qty for the trunk spoiler. The way I'd do this would be to purchase it myself and then sort out who wants them and start taking deposits.

We'll see if they get back to me or not.
