Help, thinking of VIP style yaris

[Jirvz]

So Im starting to get serious with the idea of doing a VIP style on my 07 Yaris Sedan.

Ive been looking around for the right kit and for some reason I am having a hard time finding this one

If you have any ideas where I can get that kit or you think I should try another kit, let me know.

Im also trying to get the visors for all the windows and the rear visor. Any suggestions for the springs?

I just need to gather up some ideas before drop bills on it. Thanks!

Get these springs for a large drop

Won't be as low as that sedan in the picture you showed.

Here's a cheap sedan kit on ebay...

Thanks! I wont be looking for a drop that low as I wouldn't want a hard time going over the BIG bumps.

I appreciate your reply. :smile:

Im just looking to put my car out for show.

Yeah I saw that kit, but Im not feeling the front bumper... looks too aggressive for me.

[PETERPOOP]

Well your options for body kits for the yaris sedan are pretty slim. I'm only aware of the lip kit that Cali Yaris was selling for the sedan. However, haven't seen anyone selling any body kits for the sedan. Maybe someone will chime in with some help...

Again I appreciate your help and I do realize my options are limited. I do have some kits in mind if I cant find the kit Im looking for in particular. I'll check back later after work/school. Thanks!

[PETERPOOP]

No probs. Which kits do you have in mind? And where would you purchase them at? Website? Locally?

[Jirvz]

Well I was thinking about using this kit instead... Im more open to ordering online as there are no body kits for any yaris here.

$800 bucks for a lip kit is expensive. You do know it's just a lip kit and not a full body kit, right?

[AznGouki]

A drop that aggressive can only come from coilovers. DF210s net me a 2 finger gap all around on my liftback. Good luck with your project. I love the vip cars.

yes I do... but I think its the closest to the style I like... unless there are other kits I should know about

Thanks! I'll keep it in mind. I love the VIP too!

That ebay body kits was $269.99 thats cheap, how come nobody has it here in yaris world.

First I am shocked at the responses on this thread

To the OP: It seems like you are on the right path. The black one you posted appears to be a lip kit. Use yahoo japan auctions to find a kit, search using Belta since that is what they are called there. There are several companies that will bid on it for you and ship it to you for a fee. To be VIP can cost sometimes but the end result is priceless. I miss my VIP xB alot so I am going the same route with my Yaris Sedan.

Please don't call that kit VIP. From my knowledge XXR doesn't make a VIP styled wheel. They make a low offset wheel but VIP is more than just super flushness.

As to why people don't use the $289.00 kit, you have to spend upwards of $1k to get it to remotely fit right and look decent. Might as well spent $1200 on a kit that fits right in the first place. Yes there are kits that BOLT ON without modifications as I have assisted in installing several! You get what you pay for. I tried the ebay kit route as well once, it will be the last. I am not saying all kits from ebay are crap, there are exceptions to every rule.

Back to OP: I would start with the stance (suspension and wheels). What kind of wheels are you looking for?


Also I know I am new to the forum so no one really knows my style of response. The above response is not to bash anyone but to assist in educating, if I offended anyone I apologize. :-)

VIP and econobox should never be mixed

would a VIP drive a yaris? LOL

i guess it's no more silly than a "race styled" yaris.. :clap:

[cali yaris]

^ The usual nastiness from both of you -- :thumbdown:

[Mouse]

Teh yaris will be closer to the V-DUB style. Of slammed cars with low offset wheels and tires stretched and tuckin.....lots of camber also.

But the most important thing is to be slammed.....here are some examples of slammed jettas

No slammage = Lame(unless you race and being too low can hurt)

exterior appearance wise the difference between euro and vip is wheel selection and kit (if one is used) both are relatively similar though. Good fitting Weds make it more vip styled while some aggressive bbs' are more euro.

Your right though stance means everything. euro also tends to be coilover based and pushing the limits of driveablility where as majority (not all) of the VIP cars use air.

[Mouse]

Thanks for clarifying

[eTiMaGo]

hey VIPs might fall on hard times and have to step things down a notch too... :wink:

personally I'd like to see some more VIP "styled" sedans :thumbsup:

[lilredrocket]

I believe Garm can get the Air Runner kit for the Yaris.

[cali yaris]

^ I can, haven't had an order yet, though... bring it! :smile:

[Speedjunkiejp]

garm, shoot me a pm with price.

This isn't a VIP style rim?

http://www.nlmotoring.com/v/vspfiles/photos/50488082-2.jpg

All I know is, there are abunch of cars around here using those wheels and they consider themselves to be in the "VIP" group. Not my cup of tea.


And I was only showing him that ebay body kit to give him options on kits in general for the sedan (since there aren't many options). It's obvious that the kit I showed him would be crap (ebay kit).


Thanks though for trying to be the next tamago. I'll be looking forward to your future postings....

I wasn't trying to be the next anyone. You are correct I completely forgot about that wheel. It is actually a copy of the wheels I had on my xB and my xB is the one that started the idea for that wheel.

I don't know why you look forward to my next or future postings. Again my previous comments were not to insult or offend anyone. In fact if your ever close to Jacksonville, FL I would buy you a beer (that goes to anyone here). There has been a lot of confusion as to what VIP is and being that I have been in the VIP scene for a while I thought I might help.

BTW To OP: I may have sourced the mugen style window visors. If all works well and your interested I will share. pm me.

Here are a few pics of my old xB

nice points SP. same here got lots to read on the forums before i start babbling away too. and yes aggressive or not type of kits,just beware many of the cheaper kits tend to have more labor installation costs then pricier kits with less labor. happened alot in the scion community. but does anyone listen. lol.:iono::cry:

Ditch the goofy hood ornament and the oversized lip kit, change to some rims that weight less than 20 pounds and that car wouldn't look retarded.

just my two cents :wink:

check out the sedan threads on the forum if you want to see VIP done right(not overdone)

hey, i just realized that your in guam too. but yeah, going dumped here is pretty hard to pull off cause the roads are horrible. keep in mind that shipping here for bumpers and big stuff gets really expensive really fast

Wow nice to see a fellow Guammie. I do realize all those problems but I know I can get around it. Where are you on the island?

Actually I love how that car looks now except for the JP Hood Ornament. Im only using that car a guide to what Im looking for. It wont be exact. Everyone has their own personal taste, I believe that car look great. Thanks

I'll be sure to get you on that. Would love to have those on my car.

I'll give you a PM about some stuff I need. That air master kit is one of the options I have for a kit.

Alot of responses and I really appreciate it guys. Im still dreaming up what I want to do with my car..

Those Vdubs look bad ass, my friend has an 09 GLI on coils with 19" Mercedes wheels in chrome...It looks like one of the very first vdubs in those pics with Mercedes wheels, their fat 3 spokes.

[minired5stby]

All I have to say is that any VIP project is gonna be super expensive. There is no way around it. Be patient on your kit don't get any 2nd rate AIT kit to go VIP keep searching. Also your rims n suspension r gonna cost the most. I know you don't wanna scrape so definately go with air. As for your interior go with the JDM DAD products. You should contact www.autofasionusa.com for all that. Ask for Freddie or Elroy and tell them Tony from San Diego sent ya. The rims, you're on your own.
Here is a pic of my friends 2nd Gen Xb to give you some more ideas:

I need to get back in the shop with some fiberglass and creat my own bumper. The rims are easy. Just buy them from an xB owner. Fitted a friends Eurolines on my sedan and it fit just fine.

[katchkillah]

or go cheaper with garson. or else get others like junction produce, fabulous, sessions, etc....

[nerd_vitZ]

i live across the street from the Guam Sports Complex in dededo/harmon. post some pics of your ride so i'll know if i spot you. theres another person on yarisworld that lives in guam. she drives a white sedan and had some stuff on it. you might have seen either one of us around.

That jetta with the bentley rims. oh my lord.
