It's probably legit. AND btw it is FIBREGLASS...

OEM is made of plastic, hence OEM costs more/in the thousands...

i read somewhere, if damaged; panel beaters will work on the plastic, but when fibreglass kits crack, it usually goes to scrap. fibreglass is prone to crack if u hit something...

Looks dodgy to me. Why would he have pics of standard Sportivo's and also a pic of some dodgy custom bodykit? Which one is he supposedly selling <_<

Yerh thats what i thought too, but it seems like he sells alot of body kits at his ebay store.

and i've been lookn all over the joint for a bodykit, i havent been bothered to ask toyota cuz that'll mean alot of $$$$

though i'd prb not get the front bar cuz i wanna OEM foglights the round ones, so i dont rekn the front bar will fit im guessn??

No actual pictures of the bodykit before it was installed (if that is even the actual kit installed in those photos) so I'd be careful.

x2

i heard those fibreglass things are crap. ill share my own experience with the toyota genuine front lip kit, which is made by ABS plastic.

one day i accidently hit a kerb, which hits the front lip kit and wheels, really2 hard. all i got was bad scratch underneath the lips.

i would imagine if i have the fibreglass one, it will probably crack and goes to scrap. so yeah " what you pay is what you get " :)

I asked this guy what he wanted for the rear lip and he quoted $220 - which is cheaper than toyota, but why would I pay half the price of a four piece kit for one part? If he had come back with around $100-$150 I would have given it a go, as I don't see the rear lip being as damage prone as the front lip and side skirts.....

.....if anyone does buy it, please be sure to let us know how you go!!

The seller has a lot of feedback , thats what i look at when i shop from Ebay.

In saying that , there are a lot of cons around.But thats how the world goes around.

On the subject of ABS Plastic VS Fibreglass kits , i must agree the ABS is more forgiving and versatile.

Some years ago i bought one of the 1st Carmate.com Corrolla Bodykit and F****** my Front Bar on the 1st night.

Mind you it was only 6odd inches off the ground and an amateur driver doesnt help.

Now i remain scared for life and always drive sideways on humps and leaving car parks or un-even surfaces.

My fibreglass kit cost me $1200 supplied and fitted so $450 is really sus for the whole kit.

BTW - i wouldnt recommend Carmate.com to anyone after my experience with them.

I've heard alot of bad things about carmate.

would it be a good idea to buy parts from them, and get it installed at places such as x racing or concord customs??

your thoughts would be welcomed :)

Yeah that sale has been on e-bay for ages...i msg'd them asking bout a sedan rear lip and they didnt do one. I like to think im more sus than most about e-bay parts but this looks legit BBBUUUTTT!!!! beware of fibreglass ive worked with it and it is VERY brittle, if you want a quick bang-up job and have 1-2cm gaps in ur body kit go 4 it, but quality is always with ABS....i mean it...

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      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.

      Android auto

      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.
