Well, after the unfortunate meeting of the front of my car with a stupid cement parking curb thingie, I had to take off the front lip.
So, here's a couple of pics, I'd like to know your thoughts on whether it looks weird with just the side skirts on, or you think I should keep them :wink:
Excuse the bad quality of the pics, this was taken in pretty low light...

1st Pic a little strange, but the 2nd one looks good. I can't decide.:iono:

Well based on the picture it looks ok to leave on the skirt, but could we get a picture from the side of the car. I'd like to see if there's a lot of height difference from where the front lip use to be.

That looks pretty sick man. I wish the US Yaris came with side skirts or something to do with the body other than factory option spoiler.

Looks bad. Sending me your side skirts will make it look right again though.

how bad are the front ones fucked up? may be a good chance for one of us North American guys to see if Asian lip kits even fit

Front lips would fit on USDM bumpers no problem
But, the lip is in two pieces down the middle now, and pretty badly scratched up. I'm sure a decent fiberglass workshop would be able to put in back into shape, I could just go that route, but I think I'll be getting a JDM RS front bumper...

Weird is an understatement. It would look reeeeee-tarded.
Kaminari lip kit is 700 bucks don't forget.

keep the skirts on,
that will make you order the JDM RS bumper faster :)
BTW, DAMD with the JDM RS bumper will look just fuckin PIMP
I really like the setup
As you do that, think about something for the rear bumper and ur car will be the best (well, it is now :), but it will be million thousand better)
c Y a
Well, good enough excuse to go for a full bumper I'd say! I like the JDM RS rear bumper, but none of the OE front bumpers really do it for me :frown:
I'm really starting to dig this C-One front bumper :thumbsup: , but there's masses of options..
There's even a matching rear lip kit for the JDM rear bumper.. :cool:

Well, we're both in Asia where rice is a staple LOL :thumbup:

The C-One front bumper looks nice but I think that the Burnout front bumper looks more calm for the streets.

It looks kinda uneven!
GET THE LIP REPAIRED ASAP!!! its OK if you look on top though... :thumbsup:
But anyway people wont notice it that much... they'll think its OEM.
Oh! is that pic taken with your N93 and in Siamparagon Mall?

I need side skirts like knowone's business!!!!!

OK, well this is my plan, gonna be a bit of patchwork, but should look good. Keep the existing side skirts (Kenstyle), get a front RS bumper with either Burnout or DAMD lip, and add the Modellista II rear lip with center exhaust.
I'd rather not change the whole front bumper to an aftermarket one, none of the existing ones appeal to me...

Sounds like a nice idea. Run with it and see what the turnout is.

Well here's some side shots, as well as what's left of the front lip...
I guess it looks OK, as the curvature of the bottom of the front bumper flows into the side skirts.
forpinks, they were taken with my N93i, but at the parking lot of Suvarnabhumi Airport :wink:
C-One bumper's kinda cool, but too busy for my taste. I like the snub-nosed look of the Yaris, wanna stick with it as much as possible.

you could so fix that lip, but like you said, good excuse to replace the whole front bumper... I am fond of the JDM RS Bumper.... nice clean look, and it would match your skirts and rear
