Well I finally broke down and bought the TRD Stage 2 kit. I also purchased the interior trim pieces and the exhaust. I bought all of this at Mc George Toyota in Richmond, Va. It cost me $200 to get the rear spoiler painted at the body shop, TRD has discontinued this spoiler and all they had left was a few blue ones. The rest of the kit painted from TRD and installed by the dealer was $6,300. It took 3 weeks to get the kit (that was including the kit getting lost in Chicago for 3 days), The dealer took three days to install every thing. Wow you may say. It completely changed the whole look of the car. The car has whole new attitude, sound, and fun factor. I did not realize how much the kit would refine the car but it did, unfortunately pictures do not do it justice. One thing that I wish I had done was to take more pictures of the install but I was out of town when I took it in and the dealer installed all of this at a record pace. He insured me that though the install was not easy, anyone with the right tools and a lift should be able to do it. The car was built with this in mind and I will give kudos to Toyota for their insight. I will say one thing if attention is what you are after this is the way to do it. It really turns heads. I really like the "what the heck was that factor". I cannot wait until spring to drop the top and do a little cruising. This kit is not for everyone but I really like it and think it adds a great deal of personality to the Spyder.The following images were provided by 8Legs, click the image to enlarge. |

I took the Spyder into the dealer on a Monday and picked it up on Thursday. I was pumped up to see the results. Well I got to the dealer late that evening. I had a crowd that had gathered around. I even had a guy ask me to take him for a spin. Being that it was late I gave him a rain check.
I am very pleased with the results. Here is a list of all the mods
that I have done.
I think that is about it and I think that I am almost finished. I have a few more goodies on my wish list. I am looking into a Turbo/Super Charger. And a set of roll bars. Then I will be finished with this project.
