I was thinking the TRD emblem on the front grill off to the side. its chrome and has a red and white flag before the "t". maybe someone wants to photo shop it.

Wow!! Looks Amazing!! I just purchased the knockoff TTE lip from ebay as well. How was the fitment? After the adhesive and bolts does it fit well? I've read a couple threads where they say it was slightly longer on one side...

read my posts in the other thread if you have any questions pm me. its cut and dry... use heat gun, use drill and 6-10 mm bolts and washers, sand the top of your bumper before hand! use a thin line of window 3m adhesive before you bolt the lip on otherwise youll have to do what i did and pull back the lip and put the adhesive back on or the top will sag a bit..

Will do, Thanks. Do you mean sand the bottom of the bumper so it gives the adhesive something to grab onto?

yea ... i didnt sand or want to put adhesive onto my lip but without it the front sides were sagging a bit. I had to try to put 3m behind it without anything but squeezing the goop behind it . sorta messy. If you sand before you bolt it on and put a thin line of 3m window adhesive at the top itl fit mint!
