Default I saw the 5 axis lip kit in person

EDIT: A new thread of the car itself with updated pictures has been posted in the lounge, you can find it here

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=207013
-----------------

I was a dealership the other day and they had a special edition 5 axis tc on display.
at first glance I thought it was the rs4, until I asked a sales associate.

first time Ive ever seen the 5 axis lip kit in person.. The kit is drop dead sexy, much better in person then in the pics Ive seen here. so freakin clean in design and imo much better than the oem and rs1 lip.


any members here with the kit, Ive only seen 1 or 2 cars with the kit in the 5 axis thread, Id like to see more pics of it in bsp, the one I saw in the dealership was gray. the guy told me it was fm, but it didnt look like it, in the showroom it looked like gray and it also said color "gray" on the detail sticker on the window. it had custom seats, intake, exhaust, 19" 5 axis custom wheels, sway bar and a few other things I know Im probably missing. Such a nicely modded car



sorry no pics, I dont think I was allowed to take any pics so I didnt.

EDIT:
so i went to the dealership and received permission of taking photographs of the tc.
I spoke with the manager and under supervision I was allowed to take some photographs

its new, it was showcased at sema, and siphon is working on publishing the car
not much info I suppose because its still in early stages

here is the downlow on what the tc is about
-its only at Longo
-only 50 five-axis custom tcs will be made for sale
-this is a joint collaboration between longo and five-axis
-colors will be sw,fm, bsp, and csm with orange trim (orange is a 5-axis thing, so no other colored trim is available)
-hotchkis suspension/5-axis (rear/front sway, front strut bar, lowering springs), trd calipers big brake slotted rotors
-comes in 3 stages of modification, stage I,II,III
-complete reupholstered seats with 5 axis custom logo and trim
-greddy exhaust/fujita intake


here are some teaser pics, until I finish color correcting the rest of the photos. Ill probably post the all the pics in a new thread in the tc lounge as people seem to want to know about the entire 5 axis tc as opposed to the just the lip kit.

enjoy

Do you think if I asked permission, the dealer would let me do a small photoshoot to show the people on scion life? probably not eh?

Dont have any photos and the kit is off now. There was about a 1/4" gap in there but i took 3 interior screws and put them down through into the plastic piece that mounted the stock sides. They are black and really arent noticeable at all. I'll take a pic of what im talking about when i get a chance. Closed the gap up very nicely.

I am just not wanting the gap from the door seal to the kit area.........if there is then I need to get a few pieces from the junkyard off of a junker and do some plastic molding so it fits in the jamb like stock nice and clean........I am poor so I have to do all the work myself so the best fit gets my money........

yea they were taking preorders for the special tcs,

inside on the dash there was a small engraved piece, I couldnt read what it said but my guess its some special or limited edition tc.

I forgot to mention it also had slotted rotors and I think they were huge trd brake calipers. the calipers barely fit behind the custom wheels.

it was gray with orange trim.
