all i want is the front lip he said £100 inc p&p

is it any good? has anyone brought off this guy? i know sometimes they dont fit exactly as they should but a good body shop should sort that out right?

The genuine trd kit is made from abs plastic, so will always be a perfect fit. The major downside to the GRP (fibreglass) is that they will crack and start looking tatty a long time before the genuine ones will

I agree as above, the original TRD will fit spot on and is made of plastic so won't crack if you nudge a kerb and the paint will bond better!!

If it needs work done to make it fit, you'll end up paying the bodyshop the cash (or possibly more) that you saved on buying this instead of a genuine one. Plus as above a very minor impact with a kerb or something could make it crack so better going for the original if you can.

Agree with the above, I think it's a false economy getting a fibreglass replica of something that you can still buy new in much better quality. Fair enough if you wanted a different style of spoiler etc, which you could only get in GRP.

Yeah that's a more substantial difference - and if you're talking about the supplier that was in a thread over the other side the fit was surprisingly good as well.
