I just shot them an email about making a kit for our xB's and they said they hadn't even talked about it. I brought forth scionlife to there attention and they said if there is enough demand they might do some. So guys hit em up. I want some U.S styling.

Can we have the email? I would like to send a request also. You should hit them up for sponsorship offer your car as a "fitment vechicle" maybe you could get a free kit.

all wings west will do is slap a "big mouth" body kit onto it...
or some stupid wings and lame stickon vents & flares.

and it will all be overpriced.

but you go ahead and spearhead the campain to get them to make parts for it.

i'd rather WW stays out of the whole thing.
we don't need the xB or xA to be in the next 3F3F w/ a triple decker aluminum wing and dayglow paint w/ a Go-Bot on the side.

the wings west bodykit for the wrx took a long time to come out but it looks pretty good, and it's a lot cheaper than some of the other full kits like kaminari or c-west. i think wings west is hit or miss. they might come out with something cool or it might be stupid. but one thing is for sure...they are not pioneers when it comes to body kits. they like to wait for a car to become popular and then come out with something to try and cash in.

I have heard only good things about WW and I am not looking into wings. I did offer up my car as a test car. I was told my mail will be sent to the R n D department. I pointed them to here to see the popularity of our cars. They just want to see a demand. I went to the site and clicked contact and I got an email back in 5 minutes.

of all body kit manufactures, i think wings west is the best usa manufactuer for fit and durability. all the knock offs are cheap fiberglass that will crack and the really nice ones that are fiberglass are manufactured in japan and cost a lot more.

but eric is right, it's a hit or miss, some of there kits look riced out, but some look really nice, but personally, the current design look nice, like the kit for the rs-x.

i'll request for one too.

They will all hop on the bandwagon soon... being patient sucks. Check out the Red Genie kit in the meantime, it is produced here in the states.

i know the fit is great, but i've been suggested by my friend who own as shop in san fran that it's better to get it painted locally, because it could get scuffed/scratched in shipment. my $.02

that is always a problem and it should be painted at a local shop.

Mine was painted and installed by Wings West. I drove there to have them install it. The pints just not durable, my front lip was chipping after a short while.
