Need Someone to Test Fit VIS CF Hood
Hello everyone. Recently VIS released an OEM CF hood for the Yaris sedan. My rep is unsure if they made the right one for the liftback/hatchback though as they have it listed as a 4 door liftback.
I'm looking for someone local to So. Cal who might be interested in spending a little time at VIS and doing some test fitting. I need one sedan owner and one hatchback owner. If interested and for taking the time you will have the option to purchase the hood for a discounted price, plus they will ask for your permission to take pictures. Your picture will be used in their website and in ad magazines such as Super Street, Import Tuner, etc. (Don't expect a one page feature. Just a small pic of your car along with many others in their ads). Anyone in So. Cal interested please PM me so we can discuss this further. Mods I hope I haven't broken any rules by posting this. Just need 2 volunteers for test fitting. Thanks. |

As far as the 4 door liftback goes... I've seen pictures of one, but I've only seen the sedan and the 2 dr hatch in person at the dealership. Where are the 4 door liftbacks from? |

"4 Door" liftbacks are from every where but the U.S., but they are considered 5 doors

So far I have the SEDAN area confirmed. Still looking for someone with the hatchback/liftback. I have one tentative person, but haven't heard a reply or confirmation yet. |

The only difference I would see if they were making CF doors or something like that since the JDM Vitz comes 4 door.
Correct me if I'm wrong fellas, I'm still a noob to the Yaris world.

Here's a good Q ... how much will these go on the market for?
Now here's something I don't get. I see the Seibon hood going for over $500. The hood for the LB is half the size of any other car that is on the road today. Why is the price still just as high as the others? I mean you are literally using half of the material that you would for any other car no? So wouldn't that make the hood more affordable? Anyone else feeling me on this one?

I'll get the price for you. Is the SEIBON hood $500 plus shipping? I can get them to you for probably less shipped or so through VIS as I'm running a GB for the Honda/Nissan folks on other forums although I've been able to attach different makes and models for those interested. I don't want to post any info here out of respect for your site supporters/vendors. |

Price follows demand, but demand follows price too. At $500, there won't be any... unless you're Hyde or ism3t and wipe your ass with greenbacks. |

Yeah check these auctions out ....
$448 + $150 for shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOT...spagenameZWDVW $561 shipping included http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yaris...spagenameZWDVW I see there's VIS already on E-Bay but at a slightly cheaper price then Seibon $375 + $150 for shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-08...spagenameZWDVW Not to be an ass but even the LB hood is smaller than the sedan so wouldn't there be a price different there as well??
