Im sure most of you Yaris World members are familiar with TEIN USA's Toyota Yaris project car featured in the 2nd issue of Siphon magazine which dedicates itself to the "micro-compact automotive culture.

The TEIN USA's Toyota Yaris spanked turn3's nissan versa and S.E.R.T's scion xa by about 4 seconds.
When listing the exterior of the TEIN Yaris, I quote the magazine as saying
" Perfection continued on the to the exterior. The Burnout front bumper and side skirts from KS-Auto, and Premium rear wing and lip from pong, beautifully lowered the body line around 17-inch Enkei RP03 wheels. "

Now, if you go to http://www.ks-auto.com The only burnout aero product available are front and back lips and skirts. Wheres the front bumper Tein got for the Yaris!!??

The c-one bumber DOES look really similar

But if you compare it to the ks-auto one, the "holes" (sorry for the lack of proper term) beside the bottom grill are double the size. the ks auto ones are half filled. Also, the width of the vertical lines in the middle of bumber are thiner on the ks auto one. To top it off, in one of the many pictures in the Siphon magazine, u can see a 'Burnout" decal on the flat part of the bottom grill.

One more thing. The shape of the top grill on the ks-auto has more of a V shape than the c-one one, and the bottome grill on the ks-auto one is wider

Hey StumpS,

You realise that won't fit on our bumpers without some major work right?

Due to crash safety junk we have a different bumper beam. You can replace ours with a japanese one, but it costs a lot and apparently isn't as safe...

Just FYI. Beautiful kit....
