how many of you opted for the factory ground effects? was it worth it?

 

Even though I myself don't even have the car yet, in my opinion, the kit is the best one out there, but also a bit costly. I think it makes the car look great, keeps its resale value since it is a factory option, doesn't look all crazy/ricey, BUT costs pretty much a whole thousand. If the kit would be about $750, I would not even think twice about getting it.

 

I got the kit. It was on the car already when i bought it, which made it good beacuse i didnt have to wait for it to be put on or come back to have it put on. I honestly wouldn't have bought the car without it. It's worth the money to me.

 

i got it on my SW...just picked up the car today and i love the kit. i think it stands out more than normal with the kit.

 

I got the kit as well. I had it put on by the dealer. I wouldnt have gotten it w/o the ground effects.

 

i agree to, i dont have the car yet, but i will Shortly, And i wouldnt get it with out it, Every other kit i have seen, is not really my taste,. The factory kit is really hot, IMO

and not Cheesey at all

 

not to be a troll, but the sides on the factory kit arent that good, IMO. The front and rear are ok, but I know of at least 3 companies coming out with lip kits (not including any of the ones that are already out), and from what I've seen at least 2 of them look a lot better than the factory kit. Not to crazy, nice and clean. But again, thats my opinion. I always prefer to wait for aftermarket stuff, I got my tC as close to base as possible, only had the spoiler, mats, and paint protection. Now I can truly make it my own.

 

See, i was the opposite, i wanted everything from the factory so it was all warrantied. But everyone is different.

 

I've seen the kit on eBay for $799 plus about $40 shipping. I don't think thats a bad price, plus it already comes painted. And you can put it on yourself.

 

i dont do anything myself, i pay people to do it... ^ ^

haha

 

I've got em and love em.

 

awe com'n man, you gotta at least do SOME of the work on your car. Put on your own intake, something! I do as much of the work on my car as I can. Good way to learn how things work. I mean, you gotta at least know how to change the oil! With all the money you save over the years you can buy more parts!

 

no way, id Screw it up... haha

 

haha, it is good to do some things... tho there are some things I'll never do because of fear of messing up too.

I love the factory gfx. The only other one I like is the Kaminari, but I wouldn't put it on over the factory one.

 

correct me too

waiting

 

pics?

 

thanks, that makes me feel better....when the dealer told me it would probably be a longer wait for it with ground effects i almost decided to not get them....then they called me too weeks ago and told me they had a fm 5spd but no gfx.....i was sooooo close to going down there and picking it up but i think i made the right decision.....i

 

the kit is $860 on trdtoyota.com

 

If I get ground effects, which is likely, I'm probably going to go with an aftermarket kit. I saw a really cool one. I think it's the wide body kit other people have mentioned. I gotta save up for the supercharger though!

By the way, does anyone know what an after market body kit would do with the dealer warranty, if anything?

 

I have it and love it!
