Im from aust and we call it Cherry Red i dont know the number. Though doesnt the U.S call it Absolutely Red or sumfin. If anyone knows it will greatly help me finishing up the order form. And the number for the colour. THANKS!!

Look at your driver's door pillar for a sticker. There is an abreviation for color/trim with a couple of codes there. That's what they need.

I wouldn't assume that you guys get the same red as we do.

eTiMaGo · 10-06-2006, 07:22 AM

Well, ordered mine, should be here in a couple of weeks

hasher22 · 10-06-2006, 08:43 AM

Found it....colour code for Cherry Red in australia is 3P0

is that the same code for Absolute Red Etimago?? im 70% sure that Absolute and Cherry red is the same colour.

eTiMaGo · 10-06-2006, 08:47 AM

mine's 3P0 as well, pretty cool, I have a star wars car

And to be exact, they call it Alpha Red over here...

hasher22 · 10-06-2006, 08:51 AM

Ohhh ur in bangcock, didnt see ur location thaught ur in da U.S......

seriously why cant the world name the yaris liftback red one simple colour, like Alpha Cherry Absolute red......gives everyone a headache.....

anyway thanks etimago! now i can order them when i have money lol.....

BTW go paint ur headlights already....!!!

eTiMaGo · 10-06-2006, 09:06 AM

why can't the whole world agree on one name either? Yaris here, Vitz there... :p

headlight painting's in the to-do list. But... very few kitches here are actualy equipped with conventional ovens! It's just not part of the local cooking customs, and I doubt a microwave would do?

Seriously, I think it just means I have to find a heatgun, right?

hasher22 · 10-06-2006, 09:23 AM

Well a heat gun is good....oven is way better....u dont have an oven at home?? the headlight just needs to be really warm so u can seperate it.

eTiMaGo · 10-06-2006, 10:39 AM

nope, no oven... people just don't bake stuff here, funnily enough!

You can still buy them and some fancier houses have them, but it's not common. Or I could drive 800km to my mom's place and use hers

So how many people actually purchased these fins? I finally purchased 2. One for my Yaris and one for the Prius. Can't wait to get them installed.

hasher22 · 10-14-2006, 11:07 AM

alot by the looks of it, im ordering one when i have money HA

Violin · 10-23-2006, 01:14 PM

Mine came today.

The paint match looks pretty good.

It's too cold here or I would install it now. I need to get my baby home and warmed up.

A little heat (hair dryer or Heat gun) to warm the spot is going on, and the backside of the fins tape, will help it "seal" that much better.

Violin · 10-23-2006, 02:28 PM

Yep - that's the plan, Stan.

Thanks.

mikeukrainetz · 10-23-2006, 03:02 PM

I have a billet stubby antenna and it doesnt pick up signals worth crap but it looks nice.

Name's Chris bud.

Violin · 10-24-2006, 10:57 AM

Chris Bud? I thought... oh nevermind....

Color match is pretty good - a little dark, but acceptable.

Reception is a little weaker. I lost about 2 or 3 miles on my HD digital reception and probably about the same on my analog FM. I haven't tried the AM yet.

It's worth it because it looks so friggin' good!

*Chris07LB* · 10-24-2006, 01:38 PM

I spy JDM tails...

Fin looks cool, but man do we need to drop that thing!
