Any hope of finding a TRD bumper? Options

[GTSOwner]

I recently had an accident with the Celi and I have to replace the front bumper. If things went my way, I would go all out and get the C-ONE kit but unfortunately, money trees don't grow in my backyard. The only other real alternative for me is the TRD bumper.



I called my local dealer, they can't get it. Sent an email to Toyota world on monday, they haven't replied. Looked on ebay, no luck. Google : niet. 6GC : nope...

So I'm turning to you, fellow 6gc-ers to help me determine if this bumper is discontinued, if not where can I find it and for how much. Thank you all!

i think me and oreo are the only people in the USA with it. at least that i've heard of. (the rest are in europe and japan of course)
I was lucky and got my local toyota dealer to get it for me, but yeah it is discontinued but they still proccessed my order, and of course it was made to order so it took like 3 to 6 months before I got it straight from the mold from TRD japan. It aint cheap though ~$1000. and I have Never seen anyone sell copies of it. EVER. (unlike the TRD Spoiler)

and I totally agree that it is one of the Best (if not the Best) designed front bumper for our gen celica. It should have been maded a dealer option. I would love to see more celicas in the US with them (rather than the veilsides running around... but thats just my little opinion)

basically it's the luck of the draw (if you have the resources) from this point on. (I bought it like iono...couple years ago) that japanparts.com would prolly be your last bet but it is a pretty risky bet without some kind of guarenttee
