Hello I own a 1988 mk3 ma70 Toyota supra, rego GEP5, they come with a plastic front lip from factory and I was wondering if you can still get these?

Thanks,
Ryan



Hi Ryan

I am getting in touch in response to your question about a front spoiler for your MA70 Supra.

Unfortunately this would have to come out of Japan.

The recommended retail price for this is $1315.09 + gst




$1315.09 + gst????? :aigo:

wow....

 

[ryansmith]

wow....

I'm not even sure what to think now, are you with me on this one being at least $1100 over priced?

Someone could make a lot of money making a cheap factory like replacement.. I know i'd buy at least two.

I know right, I've found one second hand one on ebay it's seen better days but its $1215 cheaper haha!
I would really like one but not for that price, no way

I have a nearly mint OEM off my 91 that i would be willing to part with. The car it came off of literally had 34k miles on it when it was pulled. PM me if you are interested. I even have the proper Toyota box to ship it in.

retrospec makes a lip that looks pretty much identical to the factory one for cheap

 

[hvyman]

Strange. Should only be 2-300$ us.

Depends if it actually exists.. as so many parts for my 1988 MK3 do not. I have my original 1988 Grey bumper hanging in my garage.. : )

They're no longer welcome to sell here.

I called a few months ago about my 89 front lip and they quoted me $600 + shipping from Cali up to Vancouver, BC. The entire font bumper is cheaper than the lip alone ($550).

toyota nz shops all have different prices mate for example

mk4 4 pot calipers, rotors, fitting kit and pads $1200NZD new from wellington

miles in christchurch

mk4 4 pot calipers $1900nzd EACH! and they dont sell the rotors as they are too expensive!

ring around r@b in wellington north shore toyota auck seem to be ok or I can ask someone I know in timaru who works at toyota is always putting his hand up to help the chch supra club with prices but being ex jap there is probly not too much room to move if you can having the part numbers to make sure they get the correct part helps too

Very good point, I will definitely try this as you have proof above, cheers

In my Canadian system the pre 89 lip is showing obsolete, it was $574.70 retail in Canada.
