How do I search for European parts at my local US dealer? The letter/number part numbers don't work in their computer but it seems that folks in the US can somehow look up these parts. If it matters, I'm specifically looking for the European under spoiler that may not be available anyway but I figured it might be worth a shot.

Thanks smile.gif

sad to say but you have no chance:
- it is not possible to buy in US what was not for US market from Toyota
- those parts are discontinued (I asked like a year ago)

Anyway. There is Italian company
that makes exact copy of those pars. They have TÜV certificate (approval of quality respected in whole
Europe) so it is not any piece of junk. http://www.lester.it/en/dettaglio.php?a=2930 . I found also one shop in Germany http://www.trc-tuning.com/ where they have it so more chances getting it to US for you.

and if you navigate that Lester page you can get to a listing of different US shops that are official suppliers of their products.
Your best bet would be contacting them and seeing if they can get you the part.
If you do end up getting your hands on one, definitely post it, im sure others would be interested.

Ok, thanks for the info guys. I'm not stuck on that lip though, so it's not a heartbreaker if I can't snag one smile.gif
