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

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..

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

To be honest, I like your one more. :toast:

One piece looks abit weird to me...

haha, thanks mate :)

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:

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!

      How to delete bluetooth device?

      I have a Yaris and had a similar issue. I just submitted a similar query to GPT. The response was to go into settings, view paired devices, select the device to remove, and confirm the removal. It helped me; I couldn't find the answer on the internet, but I found it there.
