Side Trims

[Kai]

Yo - anyone here know about the side trims on the doors and the front wings?

Been looking at replacing my front wing ones urgently as they're all warped and 'bubbly'. However, Toyota 'cant give a definitive answer' if they're available or not cause they can't find them, and i've looked on Champion Toyota, but i cant tell if i'm looking at the right thing as there are things called 'fender moldings' and i dunno if they're the same thing as i mean.

Cheers and TIA

mouldings are the trims all round the car, so the fender ones should be the ones you search. Here the stealership wants 34pounds for one little piece...(I'm missing a fender one, as you can see in my sig )

i got quoted $1000usd for a complete set from champion

TSRM is out, this i could find, maybe it helps, dunno

$1000 for the set?!

Ieks...and to think i missed out on a set of trims for £35 on eGay the other day cause i stupidly thought 'no, i'll get ones from the dealer first...' IDIOT IDIOT IDIOT! :aigo:

1000 dollars sounds right that the same price champion toyota gave me also here in texas.:3d_frown:

 

[Kai]

Thats....OUCHLY expensive...and just for plastic trim too?!

I bought a full 89+ set, in good shape with all the clips, for $150 on ebay.

 

[suprra_girl]

89+ is easy coz it don't deteriorate and rust
all ya gotta do is find a set

with pre 89 being metal they bend which makes them hard to stay on the car too

 

[Kai]

Can you swap them over? IE - use 89+ trim on an 88?

Yes

 

[Kai]

Ooh. Definitely going to try getting them then. Stealership, prepare to meet my debit card of doom!

 

[suprra_girl]

yep can be done but you gotta use 89+ tails or it'll just look wierd

i like my pre 89 coz 87 widebody's here are very rare and your 86-88 trim here is only on 87's so it's quite exclusive

 

[Kai]

Er - arent all EUDM models stuck with the pre-facelift lights though?

 

[suprra_girl]

oh haha didn't realise u were uk
-comment in last post

Lol NM

Quick question on the topic of trims - how hard would it be to fit USDM taillights in place of the ones i have now??

 

[suprra_girl]

i would imagine same difficulty as going from normal pre 89 to 89+
actual chassis is the same... just start unbolting and you'll find the little bits you may need to do

sorry couldn't be much help lol
but it's fairly straightforward

i hear all this talk about wide bodies...can someone look at my car and tell me if its wide body or not?

Assuming you didn't import your car, it's a widebody.
