Sedan S lip on hatch

Hey guys im just wondering if anyone knows if the front lip ( or even the whole kit) from a sedanS will fit on the hatch. I am more wondering about the lip. Anyone? I think that it would look really good, i want something clean and simple but with an edge!

Thanks, Rick

Nope, the sedan is all different sheetmetal from the hatchback, including a longer wheelbase...

I myself was wishing that type of lip was offered on the hatch...

YRX version (later 06) has that lip & I really like it, but it will probably coast as much or more than a replacement bumper (C-One or ings+1)

Has anyone thought about trying to get ahold of the 'Sportivo' exterior accessories from Aus. prob cheaper than a kit or even a full lip?? I know it's not exactly the same look, but if it's a bit less expensive it might be worth it.

Yes I have, I was considering ordering the Sportivo front spats for my RS, because they have my paint colour (4S9)...

A leading edge kit ( front kit ) in Tuscan Sunset (4S9) - AU$260.00

Shipping via DHL Airfreight. Cost for Airfreight will be: $130.00 AUD
(door to door service customs cleared etc) Does not include any local taxes / duties etc.

Cheers

Wow...that's hot. I think you just sold me. that's a great price compared to some of the kits I've seen, and the dealership seems very reputable.

Thanks for doing all the leg work on this one echo_hrs

All of you looking for a low key front spoiler out there, this is definitely the way to go!!

Thanks again!

WOW!! What kit is that??? I like. It's very simple, but makes it really look good. I didn't think I'd like something so simple.

That kit is available on the YRX, an australian variant, so you can probably source it from the same australian dealership...

I haven't heard from the Aus dealership yet, but I bet ya 10:1 that the lip is way more expensive and the shipping will be more. after the car itself, money will be an issue for me, and the Sportivo stuff works out to like $320 CDN with S/H, that's CHEAP!

I like the YRX one better than the Sportive one, but I kinda like the wheels on the Sportivo but I can't stand that "Vent Visor", it looks stupid. LOL

Definitely a clean look (the Aussie stuff), not over the top. Probably will not create a ground clearance problem, even with the factory lowering springs. I like the idea that it can be ordered in factory colours too. Maybe it will be added to the Canadian parts inventory in the future????? It might be worth waiting a bit, and bugging Toyota Canada. One of the great things I have found in my first encounter with Toyota is that they seem to be more interested than Honda in putting mod parts on the counter. With Honda it seems that everything is aftermarket (tons of stuff), but if you even look at your car sideways it voids the warranty. The Toy Co. seem to be more reasonable about that. Keep us informed Echo, and Drell.
