ok.. here is the thing...

i would like to buy these parts:

Kaminari Cf hood
Kaminrai CF spoiler
Kaminari rear bumper
APR cf windsplitter
but i can spend only $700!

BUT! i have a lip spoiler already. but i want to get the kaminari spoiler.. so if i change it... there will be some holes on the trunk.. they have to fix that/repaint it wich is cost a lot.. so i could buy a CF trunk.. (400dollars) i dont really want to but if i have to pay 400 to get the old trunk fixed, then i would go with the new cf trunk.. isnt it a better idea? but if i do this i can buy only the cf trunk and cf spoiler
or:
i could go with the cf lip spoiler too and maybe just darkening out the rear lights... wich is like 300dollars plus the apr windsplitter or the kaminrai rear bumper ( wich is still have to be painted
or:
i could go with a cf kaminari hood and not to buy anything else

other thing: im in florida.. there is anyone knows how to keep the cf things in good shape?

maybe wax it every week? thats helps against the sun? right? or maybe just buy a car cover and put it on the car always when im not using it? or anything else?

maybe i could buy the kaminari hood ( non cf) paint it to black and get regular kaminari spoiler and get it cf painted by patterntek? so im not gonna have to worry about the Cf damages?


pls help


i hope everything is clear for everyone.

 

or maybe i could trade the trunk with someone who has no spoiler and wants to get the lip spoiler.... so i can get the kaminari spoiler without the worry


btw i just saw this car: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=189328

look he has "nothing" just the cf spoiler and cf hood and its looks so damn sexy


btw i have ssm (silver) tc

 

a decent CF hood runs 500 doesn't it? The CF Spoiler is 500+

 

kaminari cf hood would be 900!!! but u can get it for 600... and the lip spoiler is less than 200 but the kaminari one u can get it for 400...

 

try to purchase 2nd hand save some money

 

if you already have a deck lid and dont want to drill new holes, yada yada yada, i think you should get the kaminari deck wing. it looks really sweet. check here for pic ref. you can also seach on SL and see some more pics. http://www.xtremewhite.com/ORD-Auto~...78-1-1-1-1.cfm

 

hahha hey thats my car...but thats not the kami hood its the buddy club

 

i know i know.. kaminari looks much better:D:D:D: lol sorry. i like it better. but ur car looks ubersexy! i love the new rims.. i should go with bigger rims 2... but i dont have 1-1.3 g for that.

 

i dont really want to buy secondhand carbonfieber parts.

 

i dont really like this spoiler.. i love the cf lip oem style spoiler but if i have to buy something really nice then the only other spoiler what i would buy is the cf kaminari spoiler

 

you should just save your money for everything that you want so that way you don't have to decide on particular pieces... from the looks of it your roughly half way there..

 

yeah but i dont know what to do...


lip spoiler or kaminari.. if kaminari i could go with a new oem trunk or fixing the one what is have or cf trunk? blablabla...

and i dont have any answer for the florida-sunshine-cf-damage question

 

Yeah, that hood would be too big... when you move to the interior, let us know.

 

With any of the exterior CF stuff, don't forget the cost of getting a clear coat on it so that it doesn't yellow under the FL sun.

 

^^this is what i wanted to know.. so if i get it clearcoated it would bee good?

 

I have had a cf hood for 10 months in the AZ sun and I have no discoloration at all. I have 3 coats of clear on it.

 

i got my kami hood for $535 shipped. also the kami c/f hood is $804 at showstoppersusa.com all free shipping.

just think, if you realy want some things or something, dont skimp out on it, get what you can if it's multiple items or one item do it right the first time without regrets.

if you want the kami spoiler, get it. having the holes from the lip spoiler and having to have them filled is a given. but remember ppl will flame cause they think it doesnt look good with stock body, but it doesnt matter what they think.

if you want the kami rear bumper, just remember it hangs lower than stock, and may look off when viewd with the stock front and sides. showstoppersusa.com has it for $535 shipped also, plus you have to paint.

same with the splitter, if it seems like the best mod to get at the time do it. it looks clean, no painting reqiured and you may have $ left over from your $700.

kaminari hood would be the best mod for the money, a little aggresive looking mod yet subtle, i always get second looks at mine, and many ppl think it looks good. i say since your car is ssm c/f would look good, bump your budget $104 more and order it.

 

c/f kami hood, sorry i was off by $1 . the pic shows the f/g hood. but it is for the c/f...
