Look mum no stars!!

Australian buyers dont have any option but to buy some parts overseas.
Though i was about to buy Tanabe DF's over ebay for $125US though shopping is $100US Which comes to about 285AUD and the Installation fee might be around $80 which will come to $360AUD just to lower the yaris.

it is really bad that we are forced to buy overseas stuff
the stores in Australia should start to import yaris and echo stuff but they really care about the WRX's here so much that they forgot any other model |

Ashraf the YRX bodykit addons are availible.
You have to ring toyota and order them. http://yaris.toyota.com.au/toyota/ve...75_662,00.html Go to Exterior, and its under "Body Enhancement Kit"

the kit u r talking about is the sportivo kit, not the YRX kit
the YRX kit cannot be ordered by non YRX owners (to keep the YRX special as they said to me) i think i will try (in stages) to change my car look to the Vitz RS, but this is really expensive |

All you need to do to order the YRX kit is take a YRX VIN chassis number to the parts counter at your nearest toyota parts place and order it.
To get a YRX chassis number,go to the nearest Toyota dealer and look at the VIN number on any YRX they have in the lot. If they ask why just tell them you cracked it on the gutter. It makes no difference to the guy working there. It's not like its Ferrari trying to maintain exclusivity of their Enzo parts or whatever. |

Pedders offers lowering kits for the Yaris. You guys have any feedback on them (product, service, price, etc.)?
