Well since i have not seen picture of Turys M3 style side skirts or rear bumper, I want to know what you guys think of having the Tury M3 front bumper and the Kaminari sides and rear? Also if you have any other suggestions of what sides and rear would look good with the Turys M3 style front bumper. Thanks.....

That bumper on the cherry car looks like it has has absolutely amazing fit for an aftermarket part (on the drivers side photo). The black one's good too but not so good.

If you're talking about this kaminari kit


I think that'd look horrible with the M3 style bumper, they're totally different styling. I'd wait and see what the M3 style skirts & rear bumper look like.

That M3 front bumper though is the best looking aftermarket one I've seen for a tC, the scion's grille makes it look a bit like a smoothed out R34 skyline front end.

This is a real M3 skirt (on an M3)

they're more subtle than big, angular and flashy but I think something like that goes with the front bumper perfectly, and would look pretty nice on a tC.

Actually looking at all the kits in the sticky thread, none of the skirts really match the bumper. The closest match in my opinion is the optional factory scion skirts. The little flare at each end they have goes quite well with the flare on the M3 bumper, unfortunately the skirts don't come as low as the bumper so it looks a bit off.

Possibly the viniati touring skirts would look ok, the flares might be a bit big and square though.

the bumper on the black car is not fully bolted on, i heard that the owner of that car does some sort of racing and needs to take the bumper of quickly lol. i was thinking the factort lip kit skirts would look great too but only if the were longer(bigger) also i dont agrre with you that it looks like a smoothed out R34 skyline front end.

this kit has always reminded me of a skyline

no i havnt bought the bumper yet, but it's definantly my top choice of a front bumper.
I just wanted to know your guys' opinoins on what sides and rear would look sweeeet coupled with the bumper, because it's taking sooo long for Tury to even show a prototype of possible sides and rear.

I went to the Vinati site and saw that they have the M3 bumper aswell.

But is it the same as Tury's without the line, is it from the same mold, or is it slightly different??

Yeah, the corner wings looked hideous.

I was hoping they were optional.
