You should post a pic here. I'm at work and don't like just surfing off onto websites I'm not familiar with.

Very strick internet access restrictions here.

Instead of the copy, you should look at the TRD lip kit. It's made of urethane and will last a lot longer.

correct.
fiberglass<polyurethane
fake<authentic

you do the math.
do the right thing, save a few more hundred dollars and get what is much better in quality, sure you may be happy NOW if you purchased the tracer kit but hey, it's not even the full 7 piece, and it's fiberglass, you'll be assfuc<ing yourself for weeks after that.

imo, get the real trd kit. contact Kevin (xavier) if you want one. they run at around 670+shipping.
where many hate, few will love,
But for those who love,
they'll see what it's like to live.

heres a GREAT example of why NOT to buy a replica (tracer) trd kit....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-SE- ... dZViewItem

lots of cracks and chips... doesnt fit very well... doesnt come with the rear bumper center trim. and the side-skirts are straight from front to back... opposed to how an actual trd kits side-skirts have a slight arch... and rear center trim...

you can see what im talking about with the skirts in my signiture below... its slight but makes a big difference.....
