  1. I think it could be because the front lip is a different compund to the rest of the car?

    It's not just the front lip. It's the whole front bumper. I was thinking that but it it was true the spoiler, skirts and rear bumper would be the same as the front. But for some reason only the front is noticeable.

    Yea sorry, i was meaning the whole front bar including lip is plastic - the bonnet and front guard panels are metal so the paint will look different shades as it is on two different surfaces side by side.

    i believe this goes with black aswell. my front bumper and skirts are the same shade, but abit off from the rest of the car.

    But it's the front that's most noticeable right?

    ill have a look tomorrow and get back to ya

  3. hey how much are trd front strut bars going for these days ?

    Product (53607-ZE200) Front Strut Bar $320 brand new (Price is not include shipping) will not fit model after 04-4, so i guess they won't fit your car

    correct me if im wrong, but arent front struts fro pre facelift the same as the facelift model?

  4. IMO 2.25" is far too small.

    I would disagree with that statement.

    A 2.25 inch system on a 1.8 litre 1ZZ is more than enough.

    I agree with DJKOR,

    just so you ALL know and understand this:

    Standard 1zz-FE Exhaust piping is 1.75" - Peeshooter size

    The Sportivo (2zz-GE) Exhaust is 2.25" - a very good upgrade from the standard 1zz exhaust.

    The next option is a 2.5" catback exhaust, which WILL reduce preformance on a 1zz, if there isn't any mods to support this size exhaust. (eg. CAI and headers)

    On a Sportivo, very good mod.

    and of course, get 3" piping ONLY if running forced induction or upgraded ECU.

    My 2c

    Evo

    well said. i dont think anyone even has a 3" setup on their 2zz... thats NA.

  5. spotted this arvo around... 3ish pm, facelift black stivo lowered, black headlights giving it some at an intersection in auburn. Just a little earlier a silver preface levin with sunroof, wheels, rear lip driving infront of me at dfo carpark. your left brake light is gone.

  6. I *THINK* I spotted Tiet on Edensor Road at about 10 past 4 this arvo. I was in the Levin with red P's, was going to beep but wasn't sure if it was you!

    Also spotted a black facelift Sportivo, damn beautiful, lowered with what looked like 18", white rims. Young driver.

    Cheers
