Body kits for a 2009?

Hey guys, so I'm in Canada and I'm not having much luck finding alot of stuff for my yaris. Done some searches on the forums but mostly i find pictures rather then info.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for some nice lip kits (nothing to extreme) for a 2009 5 door liftback?

thanks!

If you are only looking for 5 door lip and not bumper placement, so far I know there are:

1. Kaminari body kit, but the side skirt will not fit your 5 door because it is design for 3 door version

2. Seibon bodykit, it is essentially carbon fibre version of Australia YRX model OEM bodykit

3. Diablo series bodykit designed for USDM model, I believe 1 member tried it before but I am not sure about the fitment on this.

I've seen the siebon one around, but I'm concerned with warping over time and/or cracking, plus i would want them painted and it would be a shame to cover some nice CF if that were the case.
Do u know if the other ones u mentioned are made out of poly? or if they are fibreglass?

you have to make sure that they will fit though ... the 2009 front bumpers and headlights have changed shapes slightly and wont fit most of the 2008 stuff.

Yes, this *will* be a problem for you.

As of now, you'd have to look to Japan for any parts, since this facelifted model is not really out anywhere else yet.

The only kit we have in New Zealand for the 2009 face lift is the sport kit,
the same as the USA .

well since this sport kit suddenly became my only option as of now it started to look better and better by the minute. i guess i just feel like an ugly body kit is better than no body kit. so i spent the day calling around to different dealerships to find out how i can get this put on my car but basically if i didn't get the sport in the first place then i'd have to order the kit piece by piece. like down to the bolts and washers even. and it'd be way too expensive.

but then i called around to ask what specifically is different in the 09 body from the 08 and they claim nothing. they pointed out that they change body styles every 7 years and that any 08/07 body kit should fit fine. anyone disagree? it looks different to me but the guy at the dealership said it's just the black covers over the fog lights that make it look different.

^Yeah the black covers over the fog lights and the spoiler makes the car look different from the 08-09 models. As for the body kit, it does matter if the car is three door or five doors. Hope that answers your question :)
