Turbo A reo

[LPC]

Hi Guys,

Having a hard time finding a genuine Turbo A reo, so the next best thing is an angle grinder. I was wondering if anyone has a good photo of an original so I can get a good idea of what to do with mine...want to make it look as close to original as possible.

Thanks in advance,

Jon.

hmm angle grinder.. maybe he's talking about notching the bumper support bar?
for a turbo A duct

I would just get the copy. No one will no the difference unless you tell them. Iirc you can still get those new too if you can find a dealer or someone that can get jdm toyota parts.

Sorry, should clarify. I have purchased a Turbo A duct, and will need to modify the yellow pad and the metal bumper stay (52021-14150) attached to the car in order to fit the duct. I considered calling up toyota about a genuine Turbo A reo for about 2 seconds, as it would probably cost me around AU$600 and certainly plus postage from Japan. Hence option two - angle grinder, just want it to look original.

I would just cut the bumper and then box it in so you dont loose strength or at least not a lot.
