Default Where do I get this body kit?

Searching the web I found a new Ist body kit. http://isteway.fc2web.com/demoist.htm





What do you think?

Although it's not my style, it's not bad looking.

Yea, the front bumper is offered on Ebay for cheap. Looks like a nice mold, too. I like everything about this kit, but I still favor the FAB kit instead. Not as flashy as this one is.

I wouldn't recommend that kit on Ebay as it is a universal molded bumper. It will not fit without heavy modification which is not worth it in the long run if you want a clean, fitted kit on your xA.

I went back to double look the one on Ebay and its not even the same style, sorry for my information. Other than that, I do not know where to find this kit at, but still looks nice.

Default body work

If you have decent bodyworking skills you can make the one on ebay work. I wouldn't let the fact that you will have to do some modification stop you from getting a reasonably priced and unique kit. I'm seriously considering that ebay front bumper. It's very different from all the FAB and Kenstyle kits out there.

I agree with this statement. But also, with body kits, especially fiberglass ones, fitment is terrible, so from experience, it would take more than a decent body man to make the fitment look good. Theres a lot of drilling, fiberglass work, and body filler work involved.

But definitely, yes, the above statement is awesome. Do whats different. If you like the one on Ebay, get it. Find a way to make it work. If you are good at body work, then take the time to fit it. If not, you're looking at some costs in a shop, but if thats what you want, by all means, do it.

Default well

I bought one of those Allstar bumpers of ebay. I like the style and it's different from the FAB and Kenstyle. I have about 20 years of Body and paint experience so I'm going to fit it and see how it looks. For 200 bucks shipped to my door I couldn't pass it up. I'm planning on taking pics through the process. I'll keep y'all (I'm allowed to say that, I'm from Kentucky) posted on how it fits.

The Garage Tiara Kit is actually a different kit.







Don't let the Scion badges fool you, it's actually a Japanese Ist badged as a Scion.. lol @ USDM We'll probably never see it in the states.

The car is a rebadged Ist ... really ... who cares. What, you don't think the parts will fit the xA? Get a grip!

Right now about the only available kits are Kenstyle, Fab, or a knock-off. I would like to find something different. If you know of other "available" kits, post up.

Honestly, I am not feeling the front, but I might like the side and back. They are different without being in your face. Hey, but pick your own thing and go for it.

There are plenty of kits out there for the xA/ist if you look hard enough. Just from the top of my head~

Kenstyle
Fabulous
Toyota OEM aero kit I/II
Spirits
C-One
JPUSA
ScionFX
NKB
Bejewel
DJ Garcia Wide body kit

I'm sure all of these you can get in the states.

I had a Kenstyle but took it off since it was cracking in the front lip (Fiberglass...) I sold it and got a Type II aero from autofashion. I sold that again to a friend who wanted it and now I have a JPUSA lip kit ready to be primed and fitted, though it feels wierd to have my xA naked....

My personal favorite is the Partier Kit which has a dual exhaust apron. I've yet to see someone in the states have it so that might be my next kit someday ^^;;
