Hi,
I just bought myself an IS200 Sport,and there's a lexus just down my road that has the TRD lip on which looks awesome,but I can't seem to find them anywhere for sale,does anybody know where I can get hold of one?
Also I just orderd a black sport grille off ebay,but I cant understand why mine didn't have a sport grille already? It is a sport model as it say's so on the log book?
Thanks,
Ben

Welcome to the club mate
The Sport grille was actually just an option from the dealers, even though yours is a Sport they all came with the standard grilles.
As for the TRD lip have you tried Russell in parts at Lexus Sheffield - not sure if they're still available but he may be able to help?
Otherwise you may just have to get a replica, I think a few folks have got them from somewhere?

Hey,
Thanks for the welcome,ahh I see I didn't know it was just an optional extra. I wouldn't mind a replica,so long as they look the same. you know the names of any of the replica's?
Thanks,Ben

I have been looking at the TRD parts mentioned and spoke to Lexus Bristol,
TRD front lip was £143 inc VAT
TRD Skirts were £312 inc VAT
TRD rear lip was £162 inc VAT
They are unpainted so you would need to get sprayed and fitted!
I would go for the front bumper like Ormi's, I got one the other day

(not fitted yet)

As above and if you're spending, say £80, then it's prob worth spending the little bit more for the better quality! This is the one from Lexus, that they sent me

what i mean is if you buy a second hand one for say £100(they are expensive second hand or can be) you might have to stump up £100 for painting due to the work involved fixing,rubbing down etc.(you really don't want a crap job done)
go gold mate you'll get a big discount on the new part,painting will be cheaper due to less prep involved then you'll have a nice shiney trd lip fitted to your car.
