I lost one of the side covers for my TRD (replica) wing
it flew off on the highway
does somewhere sell the piece in carbon fiber?
can I get replacement pieces anywhere?

thanks in advance

if you cant find anywhere, just take the other side off man to match

Try giving jay marks toyota (ask for Daniel P. or Jeff)/West Covina Toyota a call, they always seem to have answers for any question. Good luck :thumbup:

Buy a peice of real carbon fiber off ebay and cut it to shape with a dremel. There are people that sell surplus material from F1 cars and whatnot. Worked for me.

shumwayc recently come to my town to buy my trd front bumper and I we talked a bit about mods he had done. He bought a trd wing with the passenger side cover on the wing missing for $200. He then took the other side off and got the outline and cut a piece of plexiglass in the shape of it molded a tube to it for the bolt and painted it. It looked good from a distance but the plexiglass was a lil bit thicker than the original. If he would have thinned the material down before installing it , it would have been perfect. Hope this helps ya.

I might try something like this, but I'll probably wrap the piece in some carbon fiber vinyl instead of painting it. Hopefully it will look alright. I just have to figure out how to make the mounting tab on it

thanks for the suggestions guys
