TRD parts in Canada?

I just want to be sure I understand right. The aftermarkets parts (suspension, exhaust, CAI) offered on Toyota.Ca website aren't TRD parts, right?

Did the Toyota dealer in Canada can order all TRD parts avalaible on US and Japan market?

The things I am pretty sure are the TRD lower springs are same as the Eibach (Not Sportlines model) and the 2 tips Muffler is made by Brola...Someone told me that the TRD sport shocks are Koni...

They can order US and Japan parts but they will tax you like crazy because they need to make money on top of the listed prices in US & Japan, plus they forward on customs duties, and brokerage fees.. you're better off buying TRD stuff from 3rd party dealers.. or direct in the US or Japan. Most of the performance pieces are "rebadged" items, but I still believe that its better to buy from them for the piece of mind that if anything goes wrong I can go back to them and have it looked after under warranty.

That's but I'll not need to deal TRD parts myself cause my work partner's father is manager of the parts department of our local Toyota dealer. I'll not have any problem to get some huge deal on parts.

i've call toyota canada. i was interesting in buying the CAI TRD (available on the internet ; us only). Even if it's my toyota dealer who's installing my CAI, i lost my warranty because it's not already available in Canada (toyota canada: TRD CAI)

really stupid but true...
