gt 4 front bumper question Options

[celicaST]

ill be getting a gt4 bumper here in the next week. after looking through the jdm parts database in the sticky, i was wondering if i need the 2 brackets for the upper grill for it to stay in place. if so, why is it listed as optional? thanks

to save on costs right now im looking at just getting the cover, upper grill, and turns.

on a side note, i dont know where those prices came from, but the prices from my toyota dealer are a bit higher. all the parts listed under bumper parts came out to 815.43

i didnt buy the brackets for the upper grill. i just used some silicone and 2 zip ties to hold it in place. so its up to you.

toyota has 2 prices they can charge you. list and net. normally when you go to the dealer, they try to charge you the higher list price of the item to get the most money out of you. but what they dont tell you is that they can sell the item to you at a much lower net price. you can try asking them for a discount to see if they will give you the net price.

i think the idea behind their net/list pricing is that if a mechanic phones in an order to them, he can get it for net, and then make some money off the part by charging the customer the list price.
