Today I said goodbye to the old slightly damaged TTE bumper and fitted the oem bumper with the TRD lip. I think it looks nicer...

Good buy TTE

Welcome TRD

Also took the chance to take some interior pics from the top of the sunroof

Small update, the TRD bushes were shipped today to Athens so I believe I will have them next week. An update will follow of the fitment together with the Megan Racing parts.

Got a link for where you bought the bushes? When you replace the bushes use a gas torch to burn the rubber, remove knock out the centre sleeve and then use a hacksaw to cut a slot on the outer part of the bush. It's the easiest way because even with a press It can be very difficult to get the bush to move. For control arm bushes note the orientation of the bushes THAT'S IMPORTANT ! !!!

On a side note I used hard race bushes for my control arms, I compared them with a friend who had a set of TRD bushes- exactly the same.
