dude... i wish...

The only option you really have is paint your calipers, or get a BBK. There's more than one option for BBK

Pretty sure. They come with 3m double sided tape and you actually tape them on to your calipers.

- Apply some silicone glue between Caliper Cover Kit and original brake caliper.



- To install, attach The Caliper Cover Kit to the original brake caliper.


- Move the Caliper Cover Kit to suitable position and fix it with paper tape.



- Wait until the silicone glue set (Please read the silicone glue instruction).

Pretty sure if you tape them after a long drive they will prob fall off. That 3M tape isn't designed to with stand that high heat that is generated by a caliper. The best thing would be to paint them Red with that brush on paint. It has a nice finish and when you are done it won't look like you slapped on some plastic on you're calipers. If you really wanted to go so far to get the TRD on them, I'm sure that you would be able to get the TRD logo make a stencil and paint it on in white. Looks way better than any piece of plastic you can buy. If you scratch the caliper taking on or off the wheels, you can always touch it up with the extra paint they give you. with the plastic it would probably be more pain in the a$$.

just my 2cents.

Are you looking for a BBK or just something that says "TRD"?

On my Gen2, I painted the calipers and applied TRD decals to all 4 calipers. I thought they came out pretty good. (For a cheap mod)

Avoid the caliper covers though. Personally, I think they look cheesy.
