I'm sure if they were making replicas at the same time the real TTE was readily available, most people would of opted to buy the real thing.
Yea I bet most people would buy them if they were $300 or so....$100 more for a known quality piece and I'm sure people would go with the real thing....but since the real thing isn't really available then I don't blame people for getting a replica....it's a great looking lip and people want it so it's too bad TTE stopped importing theirs.

probably because all the same people talking about if they had a group buy would buy one....when it came time like everything else on here those same people who were talking about how much they wanted it werent anywhere to be found....

no i dunno why actually BTW they didnt stop selling them, they stopped importing them to the US. these were sold/made by Toyota Europe (similar to TRD in US) and this is what their site now says

no you wont cause there has been one on their for months WITH a badge you havent even taken a stab at getting it.....besides making your WTB thread. NOT TO MENTION YOUR TRYING TO TRADE YOUR CAR SO YOU REALLY DONT HAVE ANY INTEREST IN BUYING ONE, SO I SAY AGIN NO YOU WOULDNT.

dunno if this one is still for sale

if the bold is true your whole post is pointless and you will NEVER be getting this lip...fiberglass wouldnt last if u low and if you get the "replica" poly one im sure its made from inferior products and wont last either.....

IF u really want the real deal you could just wait till one pops up and ****** it up....i passed on mine BNIB for $300 delivered for a LONG time till i slowly noticed they were getting higher and higher and fewer and fewer

BTW get that real one and have someone make a badge for you....OR just stop caring what people think since YOU know its real.

I've seen his car, his car sits low most people wouldn't be able to drive his car the way he does. Why wouldn't he want to get the lip? Just because it'll be chewed up? So what its his money let him spend it however he feels like it.

Shouldn't you stop caring about people that are getting TTE rep or replicas in general? Seems all it does is make you anger/frustrated/disappointed.

This is a funny thread. Butts are getting hurt.

I could care less about the name brand. I care about the quality of the part and other than maybe a little sanding. I don't see how quality could be affected when it comes to a poly urethane strip 4" wide. Its F'in plastic.
Personally, I think the TTE lip is one of the ugliest lips you can buy. It doesn't flow with the front bumper.

There are situations where buying the real Sony camcorder vs the Cony knock off is better. But that is not always the case.
