I received the TRD Rear Splits about a week ago and I tried installing them. I noticed that it's a bit too long? Like it doesn't sit flush? It makes me wander if the hatchback models had a longer rear end? I have a liftback model. Does anyone have any idea why it's like that? The parts are genuine btw.

Are they replicas or genuine Toyota parts? Replicas are virtually never perfect unless purchased from a very reputable source. The genuine parts should be a good fit. Coupes/Currens have different rear ends than a hatchback/liftback, so the Curren splitters are a couple of inches longer to compensate.

That makes since then. I think I got the coupe rear splitters. It's a bit longer. This sucks. Oh well. I guess I'll have to put them up for sale then. Oh and I'm pretty sure they're genuine. Since it is that black plastic. Here's the link to the actual eBay post that I bought it from. It clearly says st202/st205/gt4 and as far as I THINK I know. There's no such thing as a coupe st202 or st205. Right? They're all liftbacks? This post has been edited by ILoveMySilly97: Sep 16, 2012 - 1:28 AM -------------------- |
