Hi, anyone knows wich are the differences beetween TRD sides and 404 ones?
Im planning to buy the TRD sides but its are kinda rare! So i saw that 404 ones have almost the same design...

Thanx biggrin.gif

Mine are actually the 404 sides [IMO they are much nicer looking - the TRD are a bit plain - but there's nothing like authentic TRD polyeurathane instead of cheap ass fiberglass and I'm sure the fitment is much better].
The only difference besides quality and material is the 404 skirts have a box shaped section just behind the front wheels - the TRDs don't have this. Either set will look great paired with a set of front and rear TRD splitters.
Here is a picture of mine for comparison

Batman's are full TRD sides:

Me too Griffy biggrin.gif [every once in a while I take a decent shot]. That was one of the ones I gave you for photoshopping. You may have done one [but I've never seen it].
It would be killer if you gave it your skillz biggrin.gif

Look at the square-ish section just behind the front wheels. The TRD's are just like stock but more pronounced [as is mine if you discount the square].

Yes, i've understood. But i think that the difference is closely unnoticeable. Maybe in photograph its not that evident

It's the color of my car and the darkness of the pic - look for them on a white or silver car

Oh lols biggrin.gif I found a set on e-bay, but i cant notice if them are 404 or trd replicas (surely its are not genuine TRD skirts...its 189£...)

I'm going to post the e-bay direct link 'cause it says its impossible to post only the image.

the company is called repli KIT so yes, they are TRD replicas.

be wary of replikit fitment. some of the UK guys provided mounlds for some of their stuff and it still didn't fit right after a copy of a genuine item. They'll fit with a bit of knowledge though wink.gif

Oh, u think it couldn't fit even with re-made mounts?
DEATH

No he's saying they will fit after you [or your body man] do some fitment work - this is very common for almost all replica kits out there. But we are telling you ahead of time cause it will cost you some additonal money/time to fit it correctly - usually less than the cost of genuine TRD parts tho [if you can even find them anymore]
Hope this helps wink.gif
