GI: RBK LB BODYKITS - Page 8 - Toyota Yaris Forums

CtrlAltDefeat · 10-27-2009, 11:16 PM

God I wish I could afford this kit and wheels... When my student loan comes in in Dec, I plan on buying some nice 17" lightweight summer wheels, which will cost me a pretty penny. My next upgrade might be a body kit, but there's no way I'll be able to afford both the wheels and a kit at the same time. (I refuse to buy a body kit while I still have stock wheels) I don't suppose you need a test/sponsored car in Indy?

Thanks for the props! I absolutely guarantee that the parts will fit perfectly.

Well all i need is the FBumper/RBumper/Sidesskirts. Does this mean you are only gonna make a 8 piece kit...which i dont need..

I'm not sure how much I like the idea of a wider grill, but bigger vertically would look pretty good I think, I did a nasty photo chop on the pic to demonstrate what I mean. (I think i like the Netz badge in the center of the grille)

EleKid · 10-28-2009, 03:26 AM

So how many people do you have signed up for 09s so far?

Could push beyond tacky.

Trust me, once we get the team working on this, the full kit will look really good.

Hopefully I'll be able to get the molds made so that more of you guys can get these later on.

I'll be making at least 2 more pieces. The rest are either already made, or still pending review.

Yeah I'm thinking I want it both wider and taller. Wider because I can get to do something like this:

... and taller because I think the Burnout might be a bit too narrow.

So far you're the 6th:

But I don't think I have you on my official list yet... Have you voted in the poll?

EleKid · 10-28-2009, 10:05 AM

Yes! I voted for a front bumper, rear bumper, sideskirts, and a hood.
But do you think you can place me on the list for the special introductory pricing?

*tk-421* · 10-28-2009, 11:01 AM

You got it!

EleKid · 10-28-2009, 11:16 AM

Thanks!

These are looking great. Any idea of when the finished product will come about? So I know how long to scrimp and save hahaha

*tk-421* · 10-28-2009, 11:44 AM

Looking at a late December/early January timeline in order to get everything done... Could be more, could be less...

EleKid · 10-28-2009, 02:09 PM

Not too far away. Looking forward to these

*tk-421* · 11-02-2009, 02:16 AM

5 days left... Be sure you are in the list before then if you want a discount.

Jochen · 11-02-2009, 06:42 AM

About the rear bumper: Are you going to "remove" the hole for the exhaust tip (you can't really remove anything that isn't there

)
I think it will be better to remove it just like some people said. That way people can cut it out by themself (in case they have center exhaust, L/R exhaust, or in my case a bit more to the right, ...) or just leave it like that with no hole.

And is there a difference between US and EU rear bumpers? So will it fit a EU Yaris?

IsLNdbOi · 11-02-2009, 07:25 AM

So that list I'm on above is also a list of people getting the discount?

Still thinking about the best way to approach this...

As far as I can tell, EU and JDM bumpers are identical. This means that you probably won't be able to fit this bumper unless you get a USDM crash bar.
