yea none of it's local except I found the side skirts and front lip from a local guy who ordered them for me. I have a few different vendors I go through to part search for me, from HK and JP mostly. Try DB8 off my.is. He's pulled the most weight. He tends to find everything I'm looking for before the other vendors. Which reminds me!

* TRD rear tower brace ordered

TRD front lip has arrived! I could have placed it on the car but didn't want to scratch it up my bumper just to take a pic. Lines up nicely and will be a good snug fit!

Actually I was done with the car and was thinking about selling it and buying something like a bmw or porsche. when I saw it was possible for the lip kit and the black housing tails...I got sucked in again and fell back in love with the car.

I'm still daily driving this car so I PROMISE I'm not going to touch the motor!!! ...unless I sell my Audi...

I got some friends in Tampa, I go out that way from time to time, for sure I'll have to get in touch next time I do. For now though I'm going to hang tight to the area and stay in. Now that I have everything on order and creeping to the door step, need to have the $$$ to pay the man hours to get everything installed professionally

Looking good brother.

Question.....is that TRD front lip authentic? Are you getting an OEM Gita front bumper? I was under the impression the authentic TRD front lips doesnt fit on our Sportcross bumpers. Let me know! This may change my entire plan.

k so got the fig hood props in, easily slapped it on... but the hood won't stay up. ugh. frustrating. I checked my status on it and I ordered for a carbon fiber hood! Mine is not carbon fiber. I'm pretty sure I ordered this late at night, perhaps a little tipsy and thought it meant I was getting carbon fiber shocks. heh. oops
