See the parts counter at your local SCION dealer and when the glaze over at your request, tell them to call OPTOMIZE SCION, aka: (Toyota Associated Products) for pricing and ordering information.

1-800-780-2402 (8-5 CST)

We do not sell to the general public so please do not call us yourselves.
Have the parts guys/gals call us, they will quote you a price.

It's great and all, but a picture is worth a thousand words.

It will help sales tremendously if people saw what they are dumping $1500+ on.

Default XD BODY KIT PICTURES

Pics of the kit installed on the XD are now available in my gallery. Have a look. I hope this helps. These photos came directly from 5 Axis. I received them yesterday 9/18.

Almost like a demo xD, except for the rear fascia. Not bad.

$1500 still too much for unpainted kit (especially after tC OEM kit being less than $1K painted). Sorry. Gonna sit and think about it for a while.

Pics still look like renderings, not real life stuff. The front side airdams on the bumper have some nice looking add-ons (LED foglights?) does not look like a part of the kit...

Ok, one more question. Will you sell the dealers individual pieces of the kit? For example (from my Toyota Matrix experience) front fascia will get damaged by road debris pretty often and might need to be replaced. I would not want to have to buy entire new kit for that...

Default Replacement pieces

Replacement pieces are available for the XB and should be available for the XD as well.

I have not seen individual skews yet, but this is all in it's infancy at this time as you know.

Cool. Placing an order with the dealer.

You don't happen to have an install PDF or at least some more details on the actual pieces. Pictures of the show car are fun and all, but any real life info/pics would be greatly appreciated. $1500 is good chunk of change.

Default Install

Right now, what you see is what you get. More to come soon. So you are doing your own painting and installation?

I know in the XB blog there is a guy that posted the step by step (with pictures) on the XB, I will see if I can find it again.

Yeah, all DIY. Been like that with everything I ever did to my cars except the TRD superchargers - that stuff I had the dealer do for me, twice so far

I'm waiting for 2 parts guys to get back to me, if you guys have it in stock ready to ship I should have it in 10 days or so.

Default Shipping the kit

In stock in Sparks Nevada, ships via DHL.

I looked at an order going to Jacksonville Florida that shipped on 8/28, it arrived on 9/6 so you are real close in your estimation of turn around time.

From what I know. the tC was just a lipkit and made by toyota or some oem company.

FiveAxis is a quality aftermarket company. It looks like it's a full bumper and all. not just a lip kit. Quit _____ing. You get what you pay for.

Kid, it's not a full bumper, it's a lip kit. You get less than what you got with a tC for more money, hopefully similar quality, and you have to paint it. I don't care if it's five axis or six axis - I'd trust a factory lip kit more than any aftermarket one.

Thanks for the reassurance, btw. But I think I'll have to wait before spending $2K on a lip kit that I haven't seen. Good job, salesboy.
