Damn Vf-X. This hurts me to see that. Your ride is by far my fave aurion. I hope you find them ******ers mate. Ill keep a look out on forums and what not for them too since im on the hunt for new wheels as it is. Ill keep that extra eye out for yours! You got exact wheel specs of it so i know what im looking for if i come across it?

A camry with.. ???

Yeah it was worth it. Hmmm, might look into it. Haha cheers davo. Never thought about painting the rear view mirror. Might do it for a cheap mod! Custom leather interior? mmm maybe maybe ;) Wont be until sometime middle next year however

Hahaha cheers johnnie. Still a VERY VERY long way to go. On the hunt for some new wheels for moarrr low and aggressive + hellaflush fitment just for laughs. bone stock around this time last year!

Sounds good! Im down!

Cheers mate. yeah its a perfect fit. No issues fitting it what so ever! Im happy that its all finished now, was such a long process from start to finish. Now for dual exhaust!

Anyway, as promised here are some pics of the car at its current state over the weekend. Some are from a couple of meets over the weekend

Damn awesome meet guys. Was just telling the mrs how mad it would have been for a cruise with you guys. To the gen6 camry, if you wanna lower your ride, pm me ;)

Shattered i cant make this one. Have a safe trip fellas! Cant wait to see pics!

Spotted a white non sportivo aurion (sorry not familiar with the types of aurions ahha), black wheels, dumped. Looked sick, think they had aftermarket tailights because the lights looked brighter, yet the surrounds were darker. Kinda like a smoked look. Anyway, looked nice Spotted on st kilda road, 8pm tonight. custom rego. was something like rnr-8

I told him the paint colour, 061 white and to colour match it to the body. But they colour matched it to the fender. The sideskirts is on point with the doors, however the rear bumper is completely off as like dj said, for some reason the toyota bumpers come out a different colour to the rest of the body. Called him back today because i needed the reciept faxed for the previous job through which i got. However i brought up the issue and he said if i get both bumpers resprayed it will cost me 500. I asked if i can respray it seperately at seperate times for 250. And he said it will be more expensive. He quoted me 300 before on a previous day to get one bumper resprayed, now he quoted me 400 today for the same job. I guess to try show that he was being "nice" about their mistake and giving me a discount on the new job. annoying as f(*&^%$%^&*()k. and im not keen on paying 500 for something THEY should of done right. What do you reckon i should do from here? Is there a higher authority i could go to or something?

bump bump bump like b2k

Thanks pezzie! I called them up just then. Theyre charging me 500 to repaint both bumpers so its colour matched to the bumpers. And a cheaper rate to respray the lip kit so its colour matched to the off white bumpers. I wanted to respray the bumpers because the kit is actually closer matched to the fenders than it to the bumpers that came out of factory. The 500 they are charging me is at a discounted rate too. I told them the painter should have known that its a different colour since its how it came out of factory. And he said the bumpers was resprayed previously because he found damage? Damge being some paint which cracked because i reversed into a highlux. I then said why didnt the painter colour match it to the bumpers? and he said then we would have made two different pots of paint. I said you should have because you told me everything would be colour matched. As for the other worker telling me it was their mistake and it shouldnt cost me a thing? the dude said "that guy doesnt know anything" Anyway, im not happy at all. Any further advice? I dont mind paying a small amount to get the bumpers colour matched to the lip kit since i have some paint damage which i wanted to remove anyway but at a later date. But not that 500.

+1 on them rims bro. They would look sick!

Heres a cropped image of it. Taken by an iphone 4 on a cloudy day. How much more obviously would it be if it was taken by an SLR on a sunny day? haha. The front is similar to this aswell. However, sideskirts are just slightly off, but only to me.

Thanks pezzie. Will do. After i asked if it would cost me anything to fix it he said "dont think so. Better call the boss on monday". Removing the lip kit off the bumper to get resprayed again would be a very big hassle and the final product will not be as good as it was originally. The kit is held on by various screws and industrial strength double sided sticky tape to keep it extra secure. Would it be possible to paint the bumpers the same colour as the kit since they are both in a way a form of plastic? Because the kit is closer to the actual metal body colour, then the bumper was when it came out of factory.

Oh yeah i see that clearly now. Thought it was only my car with that slight colouration in my bumpers. Never actually really paid much attention to that detail. Why did toyota have that slight mis-colouration between the metal body parts and the bumpers though? Cost cutting? Thanks for that DJ. Ill bring that up in the phonecall tomorrow. Ive heard that when they colour match cars, they sometimes flare the paint to the part they colour matched it so the differences in colours are not noticable to the naked eye. Obviously, it wont be perfect due to the exposure the paint has had on the elements etc etc, hence why they flare it.

As some of you may know. got the Lip kit fitted. However, wasnt properly colour matched. The dudes told me over the phone it wasnt properly colour matched. So i told them it should have been and you said it was suppose to be done today and i need my car over the weekend. They said its fine. So told me to ring the boss this week and talk to him about it. The thing is, they colour matched it from one of the fenders. And for some reason, my rear bumper is a different white (different shade) to the rest of the car. Same with the front bumper, but the rear is more noticeable. They told me to call the boss tomorrow and discuss it. I said did i have to pay extra for it to be fixed, and he said "dont think so". However they said the difference in colour may be due to different materials used. Even though he colour matched it to the fender, looking at it..it may not have matched since the lip is just a shade brighter than the trunk. So actually, there are 3 different shades of white on my car. However, the white lip looks more colour matched to the fender (though not perfect) to the bumper. It just sticks out more because you got the bumper seperating the fender and the lip. In pictures its fine, and in person the only mis-colouring you could probably see is the bumpers but cause its my car, like everyone..we see the imperfections even if nobody else does. haha Any advice you could give me before i call tomorrow?

All in good time my friend. Just awaiting on the arrival of a couple of parts and then I'll post up better pics. Thanks for looking everyone, I appreciate all the compliments!

Juvenile: thanks bro. that's how the lip looked unpainted haha. As for the works, I think he might be getting rid of them soon. If your interested, I can forward him your interest

Your better off going for d2 coils mate. Ive heard numerous things that they are manufactured from the same company, i heard d2 coils are the better of the two yet they are both in the same price range. Ive got d2 coils in my ride, and the softest damper setting is still stiff. Not sure if this still applies to the k-sport range though. That being said, ive never ran k sport coils or had a ride in a car with k-sport coils myself though. Just some food for thought

Very hot. Looks sick dutchie. I like what you did there

Haha cheers Lee. Dont think Santa will give me that unfortunately, hopefully aunty julie will fund it on next years tax return haha. Cheers Gab Cheers bro. Definietly. Ill try get the gfs SLR out. If only i knew a lot of rides would of rocked up lastnight i would of brought the SLR. next friday i will 100% Yep im 98% sure they were work VS-XX
