Help, thinking of VIP style yaris

So Im starting to get serious with the idea of doing a VIP style on my 07 Yaris Sedan.

Ive been looking around for the right kit and for some reason I am having a hard time finding this one



If you have any ideas where I can get that kit or you think I should try another kit, let me know.

Im also trying to get the visors for all the windows and the rear visor. Any suggestions for the springs?

I just need to gather up some ideas before drop bills on it. Thanks!

Get these springs for a large drop

Won't be as low as that sedan in the picture you showed.

Here's a cheap sedan kit on ebay...

And XXR rims will give you a deep lip VIP look...

Thanks! I wont be looking for a drop that low as I wouldn't want a hard time going over the BIG bumps.

I appreciate your reply.

Im just looking to put my car out for show.

Yeah I saw that kit, but Im not feeling the front bumper... looks too aggressive for me.

Well your options for body kits for the yaris sedan are pretty slim. I'm only aware of the lip kit that Cali Yaris was selling for the sedan. However, haven't seen anyone selling any body kits for the sedan. Maybe someone will chime in with some help...

Again I appreciate your help and I do realize my options are limited. I do have some kits in mind if I cant find the kit Im looking for in particular. I'll check back later after work/school. Thanks!

No probs. Which kits do you have in mind? And where would you purchase them at? Website? Locally?

$800 bucks for a lip kit is expensive. You do know it's just a lip kit and not a full body kit, right?

A drop that aggressive can only come from coilovers. DF210s net me a 2 finger gap all around on my liftback. Good luck with your project. I love the vip cars.

First I am shocked at the responses on this thread

To the OP: It seems like you are on the right path. The black one you posted appears to be a lip kit. Use yahoo japan auctions to find a kit, search using Belta since that is what they are called there. There are several companies that will bid on it for you and ship it to you for a fee. To be VIP can cost sometimes but the end result is priceless. I miss my VIP xB alot so I am going the same route with my Yaris Sedan.

Please don't call that kit VIP. From my knowledge XXR doesn't make a VIP styled wheel. They make a low offset wheel but VIP is more than just super flushness.

As to why people don't use the $289.00 kit, you have to spend upwards of $1k to get it to remotely fit right and look decent. Might as well spent $1200 on a kit that fits right in the first place. Yes there are kits that BOLT ON without modifications as I have assisted in installing several! You get what you pay for. I tried the ebay kit route as well once, it will be the last. I am not saying all kits from ebay are crap, there are exceptions to every rule.

Back to OP: I would start with the stance (suspension and wheels). What kind of wheels are you looking for?


Also I know I am new to the forum so no one really knows my style of response. The above response is not to bash anyone but to assist in educating, if I offended anyone I apologize. :-)

Which is why it is considered a VIP styled car not a VIP car.

Teh yaris will be closer to the V-DUB style. Of slammed cars with low offset wheels and tires stretched and tuckin.....lots of camber also.

But the most important thing is to be slammed.....here are some examples of slammed jettas
