I'll have to go to Toyota and see if they can give us a group discount, but if they say 10 pieces minimum, then we should base around that. Then, if other people want other stuff, and that it could fit into the same box (spoiler's gonna be hard, but I'm thinking smaller stuff first like trim pieces, fog lights, etc), then we can do one big order to start things off. What do you all think?

I'm up for this one!!!! Hate not being able to see the keyhole at night and having to turn on the maplight.

Get it rolling Thomas. I'm not in it for the illuminated keyhole but there was some stuff on there I found interesting.

Like number 5 for the Hatchback... Sport Exhaust... If it were center mounted, it would be perfect!

And NO... I'm not letting this Center mounted exhaust thing alone until it happens!

I found out why this is so hard to do. It has to do with the limited amount of space under the liftback between the axle and the bumper. Basically, in order to do a center mounted exhaust you would have to put some bends in there that would be detrimental to overall performance and flow. It is actually easier to do on a sedan because although the stock exhaust is the same on both cars, the sedan has more room before the rear bumper to play with. Therefore you could use a more modest bend to achieve the same result.

Personally, I like looks but I am in it for performance and a center mounted exhaust will not perform as well on this car as a normal exhaust would, so when the time comes I will be going with a regular old exhaust. Its unfortunate because I think the center mounted exhaust idea plays well with the asymmetrical design of this car, but oh well.

Say it anit so boss...SAY IT AINT SO!

So my choice here is Style Vs. Performance?

Oh well... I guess I have a pretty hard choice ahead of me then!

I got that one (along with all the other accessories I wanted) thrown in for free with mine. It's just a tip, not an actual exhaust though - see my garage for pics..

Ignition Key Light 3050 THB = 94.4081 USD!! Would really like to have this light, but I agree that it seems expensive. But then again, arn't all electronic items expensive?

ChinoCharles · 03-29-2007, 02:17 PM

Oh, its so. It was a sad day in my life when I saw this. Not many people get to look at a sedan and a liftback on a lift in the same day, but I did!

Nutzoids · 03-29-2007, 02:30 PM

Damn it Chino! Thanks for Fucking up my Dream!

Well in that case screw that $100 Ignition light...

For $100 I would rather have the Center Consol Box!

Black Yaris · 03-29-2007, 09:55 PM

<--- still working on shipping... it may be thrown on a slow boat from China... er, or Thailand... whatever, but I CAN get super cheep shipping compared to what Thomas was talkin, but it may take 3-4 weeks once Thomas drops the package off

eTiMaGo · 03-30-2007, 09:56 AM

Well, these are just the retail prices, I'm pretty sure if I can prove to them that I'll be buying a lot, they can offer much better pricing. Wait and see!

Your the man now eTiMaGo... Make daddy proud!

Ranggarn · 03-30-2007, 02:04 PM

Can you come and install the ignition key light for me please Thomas? = P

Violin · 03-30-2007, 08:34 PM

For reference, japanparts.com has that ignition light for about $60 US plus shipping & surcharge.

I'd be interested in one if it were cheap enough.

eTiMaGo · 04-11-2007, 10:27 AM

And back on this topic, I just came back from the local dealership.

They can't offer much of a discount on official accessories, just 10% off the listed price. BUT, there is also an extra 7% for VAT on top of the listed/discounted price. And, even if I get 10 of a certain item, they will not offer a lower price, so group buys for a specific items are off.

Anyway, here is the revised pricing, converted to US dollars for your convenience, and with annotations:

Now please read the following! Very important!

These prices do NOT include shipping.

The best way to work out shipping would be to bunch up everybody's stuff into one 25kg DHL Jumbo box which I would then ship to one member in the US (and one in Australia/Europe if there is enough demand), and then that member would split the order and redistribute to the other members. Each of these Jumbo boxes cost about $200 to ship, so, the more items in these shipments, the cheaper the individual shipping would become.

The biggest item I think that should be sent by post would be the rear spoilers for HB and sedan. I'm quite sure I could wrap up 3-4 boxes together and send them as one package to be more cost-effective.

Many of the exterior items are offered either painted or unpainted. But, the painted color choices are limited to black, silver, dark silver (meteorite metallic basically).

So, now we just need to know, who's in, and what would you like?

Nutzoids · 04-11-2007, 11:06 AM

I'm in...

I have a Black Sand Pearl Liftback...

I will take the:

#1... Spoiler (painted)
#3... Center Consol

As long as there are enough People who are in!

eTiMaGo · 04-11-2007, 11:16 AM

awesome!

Adriaan · 04-11-2007, 12:08 PM

hey eTiMaGo can you find out if those premium mats are they heavy & deep channel rubber? If they are may get a set for winter. Also the sporty exhaust tips are they like the echo borla tips? Thanks.
