u.s. model body kits?

[delirium]

is it possible to use european models and japanese model style body kits on the u.s. version? as long as they are the same year and style?

[delirium]

only asking because i am getting one within the next few months and i know its going to be a long time until the u.s. releases any body kits for them

usdm yaris seem to have longer tail bumper...
don't know if that will effect putting any jdm or edm body kit...:iono:
the front bumper i can't tell any difference between them...
the side skirt for canadian rs and jdm rs seem the same...
so, most likely the front and the side are the same, and probably able to fit jdm/edm body kit...
the back... don't know...:iono:
switching rear bumpers might need to switch rear bumper beam or something...
example in this thread...

[why?]

The front bumper of the JDM Yaris is different then the US and Canadian spec Yaris. The JDM kits won't fit our cars front bumpers.

[delirium]

so we have the edm front ends and sides fitting the usdm but not the back and the jdm front ends dont work?

if it's for jdm rs... yeah, any kit fiting the jdm rs front bumper won't work for ours...
because jdm rs are unique... so unique that it's the same as the concept ts for us...
however same body kit has been fit on both canadian and jdm models...

here is canadian c-one

[why?]

I believe the front bumper laws for japan are less than they are for Canada and the US.

While the pic is hard to tell, it looks like the middle bar that goes across on the silver JDM one is slimmer than the one on the Canadian spec.

I believe US and Canadian cars have to have 5 mph bumpers while japan is 2 or 3 mph.

I read that no jdm front bumper kits will fit on our cars because of this. I read that somewhere on this forum.

thanks for the help guys. this is gunna take a lot of work to get the car what i want it to look like. by the way, kind of off topic. warrenty issue....when i get the car, will it void the warrenty doing cosmetic and sound upgrades, or is it just the engine trans and exaust that void it? cant remember, i just remember my buddy saying something about his car and how he cant wait till the warrenty is up so he can put an exhast on it.

I think it possible to attach a Vitz front & rear bumper to YARIS.

The front bumper may need to remove a cooling plate (board to which a wind is led).

No mods should void any warranty but the one which pertains to the part that was modified, and then only if it is obvious that the modification was the only cause of the problem.

Front half spoiler & rear undershirt spoilers other than RS from C-ONE were put on the market. A front spoiler is smart at denunciatory touch.

It is, and it acts as an adult, and it comes out and is [ a rear undershirt spoiler is felt, and ] simple.

That looks hot but how does it attach?:confused: It looks as if it splits the bumper which is one piece...?

<BR>It attaches the same with attaching a lip spoiler. It will only cover and cover from a top.

[tca4]

Too bad canno install the C-one to the canaidan yaris.....but i wonder if the factory lips from Ausralia would fit?

[GD-RS]

Ok, so we've established that the JDM kits will not fit and that the Australian Sportivo accesories will but still not sure about the Aus front lip?

[BulletProofAuto]

so are we talking just lips or full bumpers? generally if you are changing out complete bumpers, there is no problem between usdm and jdm with exception of bumper supports which are not necessary or can be replaced with the jdm variant. of course a jdm lip will not fit a usdm bumper(at least without some modification), but without hard evidence to show that the bumpers are not interchangeable, i think this topic needs more investigation.

[mikeukrainetz]

I am importing a full lip kit from a jdm company - front lip, side skirts and rear lip. It is being painted pro bono by them and should be here within the next week or two. Ill let everyone know how it fits - If all goes well I will be distributing these kits to NA.

[GD-RS]

That's what I'm wondering. Short of making any serious modifications to the bumper/supports, are there any OEM (apart from Aus Sportivo Acc.) front spoiler/lips that will fit the dimensionsof an USDM bumper??

PS. there was a post on the other bodykit thread about someone importing a JDM kit that apparently fit the NA Yaris....so...dunno

It you who I was talking about then (we must have been posting at the same time.)

Did the manufacturer of this kit mention any issues with the fit on US spec>??

[mikeukrainetz]

Yes, I had posted that thread.

They did not mention any fitment issues - they must assume the parts are similar or the same. I am demo'ing this kit, they are painting it there for me (metallic paint isnt the cheapest kind) free of charge. I cant imagine they would go through all the trouble if they knew of any problems.
I will post photos, fitment, quality information etc etc once the kit arrives.

Again, if you or anyone else is interested please let me know, obviously the earlier I know how many people are seriously interested the sooner I can get them here.

[mikeukrainetz]

Just on a side note -

I have done quite a bit of research on body kits available abroad - not so much for fitment but for availability and price.

The C-One kits as well as many others are exorbitantly expensive. Many kits are somewhere around 2500 CAN.
(300+ per side skirt - 5-700+ for front and rear bumpers each)

Quite a few are more expensive.

Air freight for my kit which is only a lip kit is almost 700 CAN, imagine shipping something three times the size and weight....

All in all your looking to spend the better part of 1/3 your cars total price to buy and fit a full body kit depending on where you go to get it fitted and painted, with or without nec. modifications.

You'd be looking at a price of around $3300.00 for the full c-one kit, this includes:
front lip
grill(most expensive grill ever)
carbon hood
side skirts
rear under spoiler
rear wing.

If you subtract the grill and the wing which some people may not want and you're looking at a price around $2200.00.

The kits are no more expensive then any other comparable vehicle imo. The modellista kit that so many people like should only run in the $1600-$1800 range.

^these are all estimates I'm making looking at the yen prices and adding in customs fees and ocean freight and by no means are a sales ad or quote.

[EddyCocaine]

just wait till november, because then Kaminari USA will be releasing their body kit for the yaris at SEMA. so hold tight for a month and you'll be garaunteed a fit.

[StumpS]

The Kaminari kit is.... yawn..

[mikeukrainetz]

its been a long time since being around, moving etc. so hope replying to this thread isnt a waste.

I have (had) a full lip kit for a JDM Yaris.

Front lip fit with slight trimming.

Side skirts fit fine.

Rear lip will not fit without MAJOR reworking.

That being said dont take my word as gospel, some manufacturers dont have access to USDM Yaris to fit to. The company I had been working with ships kits out to trial fit, they are shipped back with the nec. mods and they redo the molds. Unless thats been done dont assume any parts will fit.
