you can always import some in, i.e. the TRD one in Thailand.

ask Thomas, etimago here, if he is still importing kits. i think he's holding off until he gets some feedback from those who bought body kits through his GB. PM him your questions. he's very helpful.

I'm thinking of getting the Thailand one I think it looks cool.. I think there might be some fitting issues with the rear bumper - I took the picture from the Thailand group buy and I used the picture with Alibre Design, NG, SolidWorks, AutoCad to create a 3D design of the bumper and installed it on a 3D model of the US yaris and studied every angle and measurement but I think any body shop or some one knowledgeable with body kits can make it fit.. My computer crashed on Sat so as soon as I restore my computer I'll post the pic/model so you guys can see what I'm talking

damn! you did your homework. yeah, there may be a fitting issue due to NA crash standards (what's that bar called in the bumpers?). same reason as to why JDM kits have a hard time fitting on USDM models.

I gotta say...there really isn't much out there (yet?). Plus if I am going to get a kit, it's not going to be fiberglass...that stuff can be a nightmare. :(

I saw a black car on my way over to Long Island that was really screwed up. I am not really sure how he managed to screw up both the front and the back of his car, cept maybe it was just lowered too much...but it was in really bad shape. All fiberglass.
Winters are harsh from what I hear. Someone needs to make a plastic one, then I'll be all happy :) |

Has anyone seen any Sedan hoods? I could have sworn I did somewhere.... Maybe it was just a liftback one :( And I don't think they would fit. Anyone want to measure theirs? lol

the LB hoods will not fit the sedan. the headlight contour is different. i'm sure that there has to be at least one aftermarket hood for the sedan somewhere online.

This is the only kit that makes me want a sedan. Some how evil is a fitting word. Meaning good. (Like back in the eighties when bad meant good. Let me try: "Damn.. there's some truely bad kits in there..." Hmmm. Maybey let's leave that in the eighties.)
