They didn’t do the rear diffuser and sport exhaust. Shame, I think that’s the best part of the TRD kit.

HUM, it’s different but for the money I think I would just get an F sport.

I would definitely demand they repaint if the paint does not match. I don’t believe it was port installed. Maybe dealer add on?

Long story short, but I had to get some paint when my "better half" did not know the front object warning was not shields like on the USS Enterprise. The shop repainted the bumper and it is a perfect match. There is no reason for not having perfect paint on a new car.

"arrowhead-shaped chrome parts emphasize wideness"
Hmmm!

I think it is garish, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
