Funnily enough I had to look to the USA because I have an auto so finding alloy pedals is pretty much impossible over here! I bought my stuff from justis300parts on ebay, really great seller, got the parts quicker than stuff I've bought from the UK and there were no customs charges either (I assume because the parts are used) Interesting, i thought there be no custom charge if its under £18 than being second hand? and i was told if business sellers/traders mark it a gift they get into trouble if caught? somehow the kick plates inc p&p be bit more than £18 sadly.....

OMG!!thats lot of money :( considering they come from europe not japan, just i thought alot lexus parts was getting cheaper just like the 'TRD' lip, i could just imagine how much the TTE front bumper cost then !

I looked at ebay usa sometime ago seem to be alot of IS300 alloy kick plates second hand, price dont seem bad for its condition, shame all the alloy pedals are for auto :( i got a pric from lexus last yr jst under £100 for alloy front kick plates, ouch! anyone experience from buying these item from usa? never any on ebay uk maybe once blue moon!

Its to do with auto windscreen people using Pilkington brand isnt it? as i read the quality/fit isnt as good as oem lexus some even went back to lexus or autoglass as such and asked to retify problem by changing to oem lexus part to cure the problem of leaking. Yes i would of thought its the headlight relay goes, if the ECU goes would other features stopp working/become faulty too ??

They said its TRD or TTE front lip 'all the same comes from same factory in japan' there words not mine lol, they gave me gd price and ordered it quite fast so i had no complains!! Always wonder why the aero package comes with TTE front bumper and rear bumper spoiler but not side skirts(unless specify at extra cost) saying that it doesnt look out of place without them either!

You just slowly prize it apart by hand,its held on by plastic rivets, prob wouldnt use screw driver to get it apart though ! where did you get the sports sills from?

OK reading this post worries me abit lol, regarding the damp getting in.......is it usually on cars that had windscreens replaced or would it happen with original windscreen ? i read somehwere its badly fitted/designed glass windscreen that can be a problem as its by Pilkington brand sometimes Autoglass asuch uses rather than when OEM Toyota/Lexus ones should be used...

Saw a article showing a CT 200h F-sport model :) would the UK get this model ?

A local lexus dealer said its either a TTE or TRD front lip, both the same thing from same factory, hmmmm, i had impression TTE parts are made in Europe Germany maybe? whereas the ahemm 'TRD' parts are from japan, i never heard of TTE parts imported from japan or fitted on JDM Altezza's? on japanparts.com the TRD front splitter + rear boot spoiler spoiler is different from the 'TRD' ones sold at UK/european lexus dealers,(like E910 stated) the ones people in UK call TRD is listed under 'Toyota' on that website ! Also when i got my 'TRD' front spoiler from Lexus it didnt have TRD on the imvoice or anywhere on instruction(had toyota/lexus logo couple of times though lol) or even a badge(as the guy said i be getting either TTE or TRD badge) not bothered really! also years ago on the is200 optional accesory brochure it never mention TRD just official lexus accesories lol

Does anyone know how much the TTE rear lip costs or if its still avaialble at all ?
