Now I have to wait for the TRD bushes to arrive in order to install all the parts and take the car for a WIM

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

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.

TRD bushes arrived today. Pics will follow tomorrow

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.
