Common Applications

The 326POWER 3D☆STAR Toyota 86 Early Model Side Step is suitable for owners who want to add more visual weight to the lower side profile while maintaining a coordinated appearance with the rest of the 3D☆STAR aero package. It can be installed as an individual side styling upgrade or combined with the matching Front Under Spoiler and Rear Under Spoiler (3P) for a complete front, side, and rear exterior setup. Final compatibility depends on the exact Toyota 86 specification, selected Side Step type, factory side-body condition, mounting areas, alignment, and installation method.

326POWER Character

326POWER is known for bold Japanese tuning style, lowered vehicles, aggressive fitment, stance culture, and exterior parts designed to give modified cars a distinctive personality. For the Toyota 86 Early Model, the 3D☆STAR concept focuses on bringing out more of the vehicle's hidden character and strengthening areas that may appear restrained in factory form. The Side Step continues this design language along the lower side of the car and helps visually connect the front and rear aero sections.

3D☆STAR Toyota 86 Side Design Notes

The official Toyota 86 Early Model lineup includes both Side Step Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is specifically described by 326POWER as a flap-shaped design that creates a sense of unity with the front section. This gives the side profile a cleaner connection with the Front Under Spoiler instead of treating each aero component as an independent styling element. Type 2 is offered as an alternative Side Step design, giving customers another styling option within the same 3D☆STAR lineup.

Side Step Type 1

Type 1 uses the flap-shaped design highlighted in the original 3D☆STAR Toyota 86 concept. Its shape continues the styling language established at the front of the vehicle, helping create a consistent lower body line from the front toward the rear. This option is also the Side Step used as part of the official F/S/R 3-point set together with the Front Under Spoiler and Rear Under Spoiler (3P).

Side Step Type 2

Type 2 is an additional Side Step option offered by 326POWER for the Toyota 86 Early Model. The official manufacturer page lists it separately from Type 1, allowing customers to select a different side styling approach depending on the overall direction of their build. Because the manufacturer provides less written design detail for Type 2 than for Type 1, customers should confirm the selected appearance from the product images when choosing between the two versions.

Universal Side Lip Type 3

326POWER also offers Universal Side Lip Type 3 as a separate styling component. It is designed to mount beneath a factory or aftermarket side step to give the lower side profile more visual weight. Although it is a universal product, 326POWER specifically notes that its dimensions suit the Toyota 86 and that it can be installed on the 86 without modification. Universal Side Lip Type 3 should be treated as a separate product unless it is specifically included with the selected Side Step configuration.

Installation and Fitment Notes

The Side Step must be test fitted to the actual vehicle before painting. Alignment, panel gaps, mounting positions, door clearance, front-to-rear positioning, and left-to-right fitment should all be checked before the final finish is applied. If mounting-hole positions are difficult to align, minor adjustment such as elongated-hole processing may be required during test fitting. Depending on the individual vehicle and selected Side Step type, additional drilling, trimming, sanding, mounting adjustment, or other preparation work may also be necessary. Professional body-shop installation is recommended.

Aero Product Notes

The product is supplied unpainted in a white gel coat finish, and installation and painting are not included. As with molded aero products, the Side Step should be inspected, test fitted, aligned, prepared, and painted before final installation. Any necessary fitment adjustment should be completed before painting. Because the Side Step extends the lower side profile of the vehicle, final ground clearance should also be checked carefully, especially on lowered Toyota 86 builds.

Important Notes

This is an authentic 326POWER Japan product designed for the Toyota 86 Early Model. The official lineup offers Side Step Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 uses a flap-shaped design intended to create visual continuity with the front section, while Type 2 provides an alternative side styling option. Universal Side Lip Type 3 is a separate product that can be added beneath the side area for greater visual presence and should not be considered included unless specifically stated. The Side Step is supplied unpainted in a white gel coat finish and requires test fitting, alignment adjustment, preparation, and painting before final installation. Other 3D☆STAR aero parts, wheels, suspension components, and accessories shown on demo vehicles are separate unless clearly stated otherwise.
