[kounterfeit]

This thread will be about my 05 Corolla Ascent Hatch's journey from what it is now, to what it will be in probably several months. See my planned mods in order of first to last.

Planned External Mods:

- TRD Badge to replace Ascent badge (Coming from Taiwan)

- Sportivo Body Kit Pt. 1 (Front & Side)

- Sportivo Body Kit Pt. 2 (Rear)

- Alloy Wheels (Don't know what kind yet)

- Slightly lowered (Unless it's stupidly expensive)

- Slimline Custom Plates

The *Before* Pictures: (Sorry it's not clean)

I just got quotes today from Brighton Toyota for the body kit;

Front & Side Skirt

• Front Spoiler - $560.00
  
• Side Skirt Kit (2PCS) - $470.00
  
• Painting And Fitting - $400.00
  
• Subtotal (EX. GST) - $1,430.00
  
• GST - $143.00
  
• Total - $1,573.00
  

Rear Skirt

• Rear Lower Skirt - $470.00
  
• Painting And Fitting - $200.00
  
• Subtotal (EX. GST) - $670.00
  
• GST - $67.00
  
• Total - $737.00
  

Are those prices decent? I was hoping for about $1,200 for the front & side and $500 for the rear.

Th rear skirt supplied and fitted looks spot on for price. considering they will match colour to the car etc. and looking at the price i paid for the genuine rear skirt.

Have you rang any other toyota dealer?

to compare prices.

Epically OVERPRICED :o

don't get Toyota to Paint or fit it for you...

ok, so i must have got a pretty good discount... i got the front, sides and rear for 1060 unpainted... it seems yours will set you back 1500 Unpainted :o

Painting for me was roughly 120 each piece... INCLUDING fitting :o

It's your choice man B)

It's not so much a "should I ... will I?" as it is a "where the hell am I gonna make that cash." It will happen, I will get these parts, it's just a matter of when / how. I'll call some more local dealers however most of the dealers around my place are all flashy and over-priced.

Evan the sportivo front lip on the facelift corollas are alot more expensive.

Lucky I have a kit already :D

Yeah the face-lift front skirt cost a lot more.. with that said, my face-lift Sportivo front skirt only cost $479 unpainted, and this was about 1.5 years ago.

Yeah I just got off the phone to Graham Werner Toyota and they told me the price I got from Brighton Toyota was incredible and they cant quote me anything near that (nearly $2,700 just for parts).

When i was looking for a rear skirt for my sportivo, Brighton Toyota was the cheapest of all places for $350. This was last year sometime..

Just bargain down the price with the dealers, they will move it.
