cant get it anymore , discontinued by TRD. you might be able to find it if you scrounge around but the price will be high. The original TRD was plastic, but there are knock-offs that are made of fibergalss, not as good in fitment in my opin.

good luck, i got one of the last sets a long time ago. i had to pay almost full retail on em because they were so hard to find. i paid 180, retail is 200. back when they weren't hard to find they were only like 120 a lot of places. but they're gone now.

i wouldn't say they're exactly the same. they don't look like vinyl on your headlights. they look like the car was made that way. they're much nicer than a sticker.

A one piece kit is almost impossible for yer average person to apply. Heck I had a very hard time. I finally tried the soap and water solution, and it works great!

Well, some people don't want to spend $200+ dollars on unpainted covers. Mine are a nice INEXPENSIVE($28) alternative to the actual TRD ones. Heck, if I made and sold the TRD ones out of plastic, you think I'd charge $28 for them?

The TRD light covers ARE Discontinued, BUT they ARE ALSO still available. I just got a set --- $180 --- But to me it was worth the small fortune. To most it wouldn't be. I got them from romaniatoyota (keyword : toyota guys) --- I think. They do have LIMITED colors (red and white) --- but since my car is white, I lucked out. I would have never got them if I had to get them repainted to match my car --- It is more of an expensive headache than it's worth. I'd say if you have a red or white Celica, and you don't trust yourself to break the sealbeam and paint them (this looks the best in my opinion, and I would have done this if I didn't have the covers) --- then just get a set --- you'll be happy, and look a little different (not necessarily better)
