Obviously not good news when another quality part will become more difficult to find.

However, and I know nothing about how all this stuff works so I may be off base, but couldn't someone with connections over there step in and start importing them? Even if TTE isn't exporting directly I would think some business would import them if there's enough money in it for them.

Speaking of materials, does anyone know what is PolyFiber? I'm guessing its a step up from fiberglass perhaps.

Between the TTE lip and the S&S headers -- I'm starting to wonder if my 2GS is starting to show too much age...

TTE lip is the most overrated and overprice item on CL imo. This isnt the 80's a simple email and you can have anything in this world all long as you got bread. sales.order2@toyota-f1.com.

S&S didnt die out because of the gs they died out to due guy going outta busineed and they did more business for toyota trucks than the lexus as far as i can remember. although i am curious why the TTE thing is going on.
