Nice. anyway you can get another brochure? I would love to look at all the options, etc.

 

is it just me or do they look the same?

 

there are not the same... bumper and grill differant..

Haed light dont have the amber

 

Check out the IST site:

oh

 

hey marshall any parts coming back too? LOL.

 

I think the XD looks better!

It's gonna be sweet that there will be some real JDM parts available for us in the states tho!

 

Im working in getting the part numbers for the bumpers and what not...

No worry if you want to do the conversion i should have it ready by than.. from what they tell me the bumbers in Japan come painted. so its prob a bolt on deal..

Did i give you a copy of the Japan cataloge for the IST

 

They could have easily brought over the Ist and called it the xA as it is so relevant to the xA and better looking than the xD.

 

You guys noticed on Toyota.jp site...the ist has start engine button on the dash? Or on the key (I guess on base models), there's no panic button like our Scion keys have? I guess the Japanese knows we don't trust all Americans who walk around US Hey, I don't blame them one bit.

Here's link I came upon..

Ugh I think its crap that we don't get pockets on the back of the front seats! I could really use pockets for putting my map books/school books in.

 

yeah i wish it was that easy.

yups got the ist catalogs already. just flip thru them every other night. LOL.

 

OMG that Build your own ist is crazy cool!

^ but they never work on my comp anymore.

 

Well it does not work for me in Firefox, just in IE

 

considering buying an xD. now I'll need the JDM front bumper =p with the chrome grill insert...nah!

 

i'm still waiting for a quote for the above but with fogs aswell

 

Actually I prefer the xD bumpers since it looks much more aggressive/mean than the IST ones. Probably just me that thinks that though

 

I want the damn hvac outta the IST...xD hvac controls are fugly. Unfortunately, it's probably not as simple as switching out the controls. Manual vs automatic hvac is a huge difference I would think.
