FS: SEIBON TRD Style IS200/300 Rear Valance/Skirt (dont get excited!)
The Story....
Purchased this off eBay from the official Seibon UK seller. It was listed as a Carbon Fibre Rear Valance for the IS200 and was reduced to £60 as it had some minor damage to it.
I purchased it, took it to a local repair shop and asked them to fix it up and spray it in Astral Black for me. Which they did at a cost of £120.
Unfortunately when they came to fit it for me they said it didn't fit and that it was "too long". As I was on holiday in Egypt at the time, I told them to just order me a genuine TRD skirt and be done with it.
Its just been sitting in my garage since then and I've not really given it a second look.
So if anyone wants it, come get it - but be aware that you will probably need to mod it to fit. I have no idea how much as I haven't held it up to my car because its a massive waste of £180 staring me in the face :Chair:
I'm not really selling this _as such_, more giving it away and hoping that in the process someone might drop me £10 or something out of pitty.

Its been sprayed though. So if you want to get back to the CF you'd prolly need to rub it right down.
EDIT: I just dont want to ask much for it in case its a REALLY bad fit. It could be that it was designed around the USDM bumper or something? So not wanting anyone to feel like they've got a sore bum if they buy it from me and then cant use it.
Yeah its real CF mate. Retail on an undamaged one was over £200.

Fry-Up too long as in it may be for US spec bumper?
jimxms It could be that it was designed around the USDM bumper or something?
Indeedy. Quite possible :p
The garage basically said that it was 'too long' and they wouldn't make any attempts to modify it.
If it is from a USDM I don't know how much bigger they are at the skirt area? Might just need the ends of the valance chopped off so it doesn't overlap into the arch area?
Anyway, if anyone wants. Its here for the taking.

As mentioned. Its been painted Astral Black by a body shop. It doesn't look very shiny at the mo as they flatted it back and were going to fit and then polish it.

Here's some pictures mate. The top of the lip is lined up with where my current lip joins the car (even though the perspective of some of the pics makes it look otherwise).

From what I can tell, its the same length across the back and the sides are a couple of inches longer.
I took some measurements the best I could:
Back: 136cm
Sides: 56cm
Both measurements are taken from approx half way round the curve.
