If you guys are interested call em up.. we gonna be checking them out an gonna get one..
Mention our names and that you saw it on this site..

Got any Q?
I'll try to answer them if i cant just holla at them ..

Cool.
So did they do any changes from the last time we saw them at the meet? Like smoothin out the little hump on the front bumper? Or are they the same?

what's the price like, i like that kit, simple not too agressive, the type A looks more visually appealing

Yeah same here, but what is the price range?? Thanks.

Ditto 8)

So are you gonna show up to the next meet with the kit installed? Which one are you planning to get?

Its a surprise :wink: wish it would be earlier but its all good.

An Im gonna find out those prices for you all, since its a long weekend I have to holla at him on tuesday 8)

I'm still waiting for the Sporty and More Sporty kits. I think they look better overall. On the other hand, I might just go ahead and get the Type A side panels, the Type B rear bumper (do I still have to make the circle cut for the muffler myself?), and then just wait for a better front end, because the Type A one is too low to the ground even before lowering springs, and judging by what I saw at the meet last month, it would NOT work for me. And the Type B front... well I'm just not feeling it. It almost looks stock to me. But for $500-$600, it's not bad if you want to have something that looks different and stands out from the crowd.

yea wats da price?

so from what you said is the whole kit 5-600 or just the front bumper

he's just assuming... i want to see what changes they made.. im going to call em up and visit their shop, i'll ask them if i can take pics and post them. I'll ask for pricing and group buys too.

thanx curt, i'd much appreciate that, i'm probably not gonna buy that right untill i see it on someone's car for height reasons cuz of snow but i am definitely considering it.

TypeA is okay. TypeB is not far from stock, IMO. I like the front from the EVO kit better i believe...

--->> i'm getting the complete EVO kit soon...is going ship from oversea...
can't wait get them soon.

Sweet, be sure to post pics once you get it!

yes..but i need find a shop install the kit for me..i really don't know how much going cost me to paint the kit :cry:

dang, that kit looks SOoOO good!

Well, i stopped by the place today... here's the info:
The kits are made of Polypropelene.... for those of you who don't know, its similar to the material used to make tupper ware...
Oh and the prices are not final, these are just the prices his boss in japan would like to sell them for. He said he'll try to lower them with a group buy or something.
for the Type A kit, $1000 (painted), $850 (unpainted)...
the Type A kit includes the front lip, rear lip, side skirts, and Vuteq grill....
for the Type B kit, $700 (painted), $600 (unpainted)...
the Type B kit includes the front lip, rear lip, and i think the Vuteq grill, not sure i have to check again...
the Vuteq grill they can sell seperate for $150 (painted), $120 (unpainted)
remember, these are not final prices but don't expect any drastic drops from price.
These kits are very high quality. If you don't know their background, they make oem bumpers for toyota. So everything is OEM fit. And now for the pics oh and for those of you who can't tell, its not a true lip or bumper, its more like a lip that goes over the bottom half of the front oem bumper.

Full Type A kit

the changes they made were they increased the distance from the ground to the kit, originally it was 120 mm from the ground, now its 132 mm....
120mm gave no room for lowering...

EDIT: just thought about it, there's going to be only about 4 1/4 inch clearance

which means if you have teins, you only have roughly about 1 1/4 inch clearance haha
thats not good for me... going to need bigger rims, rollin' on dubs

When you quote the prices for "painted," do you mean that Vuteq will have them painted BEFORE they're shipped out to us? Or is that just simply the non-painted piece + estimated cost of getting it painted? Thanks.

Also, anyone interested in seeing some other concept designs from the same company, check out the link:

wow i'm feeling that grill...i know it fits better than the altis mesh one too

niceee, are all those boxes the parts or something else? cause it looks like they got a crap load of kits

If i buy a kit painted, would i still need to bring it to a shop to install them or are they easy to install? Also, I have teins right now. Will it be almost impossible for me to drive with a body kit on? What kind of springs do you guys prefer to match this kit?? Thanks guys.

I can't see a big difference in that grille and the Altis grille...

vuteq grill...lines up w/ the hood perfectly and contours compliment the hood...fits like oem


altis mesh grill...doesn't line up w/ the hood very well...the gap is visible in this pic...see the shadow the hood casts on the grill? doesn't fit perfect...after putting my oem grill back on...the altis one seems ghetto

Well its comes down on which oneyou gonna get.. type A or typr B..Cause you still will have a little more room if you have stock rims on or 17's or 18's. You have to know how to drive carefully with the kits on but its all good though it polypropelene..so it flexes wont crack the other kits out there..

yes it will be shipped painted for you... by the way, im also assuming they're using factory paint since they make oem parts for toyota...

it should be pretty easy to install, they go on the stock mounts...

i would recommend the B kit if your worried about it being too low, the B kit is pretty much the same clearance as the stock S kit...

Heh, naw man, its going to be too low if your on teins and you got the type A kit... they didnt raise it too much, only 12mm... but i dont know, maybe.... im going to ask them if i can test fit one since i have teins already...

the boxes are the Type A and B kits...
