Hi all,

I just came across www.carmate.com (Located in Villawood, NSW) and they have 3 types of bodykits for the new corolla sedan.





Thought some of you guys might be interested.

Cheers,

Jase

Search 'carmate' on tocau my friend. You won't find any nice stories about them.

The first body kit looks quite nice. VIP action.

The top one reminds me of a Camry, while the bottom one looks like a Mazda 6.

I personally like the second one. And I'm pretty sure they're the only guys in Australia who has a set of bodykit for the Corolla. If you're after a custom job I'm sure it's gonna cost a lot more than the $700 something these guys are quoting people for the set (front, side skirts the rear).

Seriously, I like you. I don't want you to end up being another victim. The end reports were along the lines of, "I just hit a tic tac and now my kit is snapped in two."

There's a reason their kits are cheap.

I'd be patient and wait for something more solid. At least a custom job gives you a choice in materials in most places.

There's also the fact that the kits dont actually fit. But carmate dont see that as a problem, because, well, you are supposed to cut parts out of the safety beams of the car for a bodykit to fit.

Carmate = FAIL

Newgel FTW

Poor Tom am I right?

I agree with Newgel here in Canberra. They're expensive but at least they actually craft everything properly and use the right materials. I become annoyed with locals putting them down constantly because of their costs. Quality > cost for something like a kit in my opinion.

Seriously, you made me blush...


What happened to the other stories you've heard? They just snap off??


I'm in no rush to get a kit, I'm just saying I like the look of it that's all.


Cheers for the valuable information though.

havent heard anything good about them
