Thanks for the info,that's why I got on the site to figure out what I have......I see you're in Callie? Up here in Ohio this car is unheard of and I've talked to only a few younger import guys who even know what it is.Now diesel trucks,We can give you the DL on that. My car has the body kit,SC,springs,struts,shifter,shift knob,strut bar,muffler and??? who knows,I'm guessin' the oil filter is not TRD,since hopefully it has been changed once or twice in 45,000 miles and eleven years maybe would you think ? Have a Great Day!!

Just search eBay for the 45k trd lara. The listing might still be up. I saw the sale pics and it looks pretty damn clean.
