installing the 'S' skirts on my sedan

hey guys, i got a base model 2009 sedan. i really like the look of the skirts, lip, and bumper that come with the S model. is there a way i can get that stuff added onto my car now? could i just bring it to the dealership? or wuld i have to buy the parts and have them installed somewhere? thanks

you'd have to buy the parts through the dealership which will cost a buttload and you can install them yourself, or take it to a shop, or have toyota install them.

*you'll have to get them painted too. you can maybe find those items for sale by a user on here, but i doubt it. also they have other types of lip/body kits out there that might catch your eye too.

kinda makes you wish you went with the S-model. I know I do!

You can also buy them from the dealership prepaint at the factory in you colour code. so it would be just a purchase and fit , no painting required.

If you get the kit from the dealer, it'll be more expensive, but it'll come painted to match your car. You can get them online, unpainted for cheaper.

just called up my dealer. they said that for ONE of the side skirts alone, (not including paint job, mounting clips, padding, etc.) it will cost close to $300. so he said very roughly, the whole job after painting and installing would probably cost around $2000. doh! if it was 1000$ id consider it.

Mine's an 07...not sure if that makes a difference or not. When I ordered mine, I believe the pricing set up was $400 sides, $300 front, $200 rear (or something along those lines). The kit already came painted to match my color, as all they had to do was when ordering, was mention the proper color code.

At that rate, definately try to find something online.
