Question re: OEM optional kit
 

Has anybody replaced the rubber moulding/weather stripping/seal on the oem optional sides and rear. If so, is this a factory item or did you have to improvise.

Scott: I remember you saying that a rubber seal from a Toyota kit will fit.

I tried searching for the part itself with no avail. I believe that it is a factory part, however, looking at most OEM kits, the stripping seems generic, meaning, that you should be able to get it at perhaps a specialty auto shop.

i've read multiple threads that the weather stripping off the corolla works, although i don't know what year. im sure they thread is somewhere on h-t.

btw, whats wrong with your weather stripping? looks fine to me, and it's still black!

There is one chunk out of the stripping on the right rear valence that I have covered with electrical tape to make it look right and it bugs me everytime I see it. I want to keep the stripping and I want to keep it black. I remember that it was the Corolla and I think it was the newest one. Corolla S I believe.

Paint the car flat black and you won't even notice it.

Integras are played out (So are M3s but Integras are worse :D), just sell it and get the STi

Do it Erick! flat-black bumpers and rear valences FTW

Erick:

I have one of the strippings from my old valences from my GS-R. You can have it but it's not black, so you'll have to hit it with some permanent marker.

are they suppose to be black lol

Yes...yes they are lol

lol and why can't it be white? or grey or green?
or spoon blue??

lol because it was never meant to be painted but there is nothing wrong with painting if you want......just make sure you paint your grill to match lol

btw, stop post whoring lol

lol!

lol!!111LOL

I had a conversation with you regarding the Toyota Rubber. The first and only time i came down to 403/Dundas.

I'll try to get you the part number later. The Lexus forum is acting up again and won't let me search.

you can't forget
lol

sorry I took so long with the part number.

Toyota part number is: 61783-35071

The guys on the Lexus forums use this rubber for their front lips generally. The corolla sideskirt rubbers are two pieces and have different thicknesses at a certain point. But the Lexus guys do not use this one, they use the part number listed above.

Wasn't me....Thanks Tony. The stripping on my old ITR was white/opaque. Eric, did you paint yours or did they come like that?

haha..good mine is white too :D



-> toldja ;)

I never had any of the weather stripping on my OEM rears :laugh1:

Mine came black and they werent painted. the white stripping doesnt look as good IMO.

Now that I've seen yours, I prefer the black, but I can honestly say, I've never seen black stripping on any ITR, evar.....Another unique quality of your ITR. Yellow highbeams as well? I don't remember if that was you or not.

Yup, those are my hyper yellow rice bulbs in the high beams :laugh1:
meh, I like'em. :dunno:

haha
