Hey guys,

After months of thinking if i should get the wing tip or not, i finally decided so.

Yesterday they arrived.

I really like them, but it's quite pricey for such a thing!!

Anyways, here it is:

In the weekend i'll go to the body-shop to get it painted and attached.

I don't only want to screw it, but i want to fiber it to one piece with the spoiler, just like a couple of you guys already did.

The guys who did this, can you please post up pics...

Thanks

nice dude, I was thinking of getting some too... how much did u get them? cuz i got quoted for 180 for a pair at cyber century in Footscray and i'm not really sure if they are C-ones or not!

i don't think the brand really matters?, as long as it fits well right?

how much u getting it painted for?

how much u getting it painted for?

I got them for US$280 total. Very Pricey!!

But thats because I live in Suriname.

I bought them from Australlia for US$220, shipped to USA.

From their on it was shipped to Suriname and that's why it's US$280 total!!

So a $180 is a good price if you ask me.

And if brand matters..? I think in a certain kind of way it does..

The C-one fits very nice and it really has a very nice finish.

It's good quality.

Painting will cost about $80 i think.

Didn't get a quotation yet..

Is $180 a decent price to get the wing tip mounted, fibered to one piece and paint the whole spoiler?

Cause that's what the body-shop asks me :angry:

Sounds like a good price for start to finish i think.. Worth every cent so you dont have screws showing...

Looking forward to end result, i might get some too ;)

x2. i installed mine with a dodgy installer. he even glued the tips to the spoiler. + glued the spoiler to the car.

he charged me $150 i think it was? for painting, installing etc. which is dodgy.

if i can wind the time back, ill get a better installer + dont mind paying more for better result. :)

hey guys digging up an old thread, does anyone know where in the western suburbs i can get a good price to mould these in?

i asked a few places and the range from 200 to 250. the 250 one however has done a few before and i checked out some of his vintage cars in there too, quite nice =)

cheers

mine moulded in... I wasn't 100% happy with the result as the wingtips looks like they've been added on still after seeing kolourhero's moulded in. Paid the guy 250 bucks far out. Didn't wanna be a bitch about it so i paid it.

Maybe it was partly my fault as i didn't tell him what i wanted exactly. Just told him to mould it on the spoiler... <_<

Anyways, you guys be the judge!

It looks fine from where I'm sitting... LOL!!

What's wrong it it?

if you look and compare with others, the edge of the wing tip shows, (its not smoothed out to make the whole spoiler look one piece). i think I've explained it the best i could :huh:

maybe pictures are better

regardless, I like the wing tips, but i understand what you mean, you should've asked for him to 'blend' the wing tips in, if you wanted them similar to kolourhero's previous car XD

thanks evo haha.

i did have a chat with him this morning about it and he said that he'd rather have it this way because it follows the line where the rubber runs down from the front to rear. he also said that blending it in with fiber glass on plastic WILL crack in the joints in the future. He also said on the edges he used silicon so it gives a bit of flex so if something does hit it, it won't crack along the joints.

i think in the end of the day, it can't be perfect but at least the paint job was good :)

at least i know where i'll be getting the whole car resprayed in the next decade :P

shall i tempt u on some wing tips evo :spiteful: nudge nudge towards group buy hehehe B)

ohhh nice :) anyways i went to see a couple of other body shops around the area and they all said that this is the way they would do it. They all said that with the wind and bumps etc on the road, they will crack. they also said that 250 is DIRT CHEAP. :P

i feel much more better now getting 2nd and 3rd opinions :lol:

put up pics johnathon! :toast:

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
