hey all, anyone here is selling / able to recommend some places where I can change my bodykit for J spec Vios '07?

TRDs are too mainstream, I wanted something unique like Viper, G-limited or Genius.

I stayed at PJ, so as long as its cheap and locating just around PJ and KL will be fine for me.

Hi all, I own a J spec medium silver Vios, I've just added skirts on my car and there's very obviouscolor difference and very BAD workmanship! My front skirt is not in proper position and very ugly because of the color tone!
Can someone intro some place around SS2, that can help me touch up my skirts to be the same color as my bodykit, and also help me fix my skirts to the right position?

FYI, I bought my skirts in Danau Kota shop name U H Accessories, strongly not advisef to buy from there!

i same with u, J spec medium silver, my car 3 month old.
i using AirMaster bodykit which cost me almost 2k, the color seems ok but if u look long, the color is no 100% same, this is due to car bumper material is no same and install at outside, but at least my skirting all in proper position. juz color a bit no same.

if u wan repaint n reinstall , better sell off ur current set n get a new one

The more I look at the skirting, the more angry I got. Its totally unacceptable! Its not 100% fitting and the workmanship seriously sucks. What's your advise?

same as me...rear bumper not fitting well....hate when looking at it....just waiting if i have money..change to other type bodykit....

i have problem with my car now..just 10 months only...the body got electric static after i drive....dont know why...wait until 20K km for service then check it....
wiring still standard without sound system whatsoever....

which skirting you're using brows.gif why you didn't complain to them when you first bought it?
statics? wow grounding issue.. best to look for accessories shops or go back to toyota and let them know the issue, it can be a major problem, get it done ASAP

QUOTE(kelvin_87 @ Feb 25 2013, 01:22 AM)
I am Vios owner who install GT Street bodykit myself. You can checkout My Ride.
You can easily re-position by yourself especially the front skirting.
Painting wise, either you bring to body shop for painting or you wrap it with carbon fiber sticker  brows.gif
Since the colour dont really suit our OEM colour, I don't think you can resell it too except at very low price.

thanks for the pics, but I found yours is 100% fitting and shape.. check below for picture..
BTW, what glue you used? And the holes? Mine is drilled onto it already.. Please advise sad.gif or maybe we can talk on whatsapp tongue.gif

If I know how to stick it back, I will make sure I stick that bottom part.

one is install another type of bodykit outside, and trade in old bodykit, or repaint the whole thing and install other places
why spend a new bodykit when you already have one? I'll try to argue with them about this and see what they say, I felt that I got cheated with such quality

dono, i order n when they come only this color, cos i order frm KL, and spray also done at KL, i frm kuching, don even have the actual photo juz the brochures .

i plan to get a fog lamp, can install my own o nt? if no really hard i think can diy myself, if need to cut cable different story already.

of course there's cabling to be done, if you're using normal bulb then not much stuffs you'll need to do, just connect to power source (you can use mirror controller power rclxms.gif ) and put the switch beside the mirror controller.
BUT, if you're changing to HID, your car may not have enough power, you'll need to take power directly from battery, going through relay and then only to switch and HID ballast.

Hi Henry,
Thanks for refer me back here.
Mine bodykit do have gap too especially on the fog lamps there. The surrounded fog lamp cover do have gap which doesn't really fit the the car. You can't see mine gap cuz it is not obvious smile.gif
And I can't remove my fog lamp cover without taking off the front skirt. The bottom part, can easily re-stick with silicone double sided tape to close the gap.

But I agree your your skirting seem out of shape from the picture fog lamp there  ohmy.gif
May you shall try DIY the front skirt again.
1. Undrill the screw from side, then pull off the whole front skirt.
2. Scrap off the tape residue on your car body and the skirt back with pen knife. Use paint thinner to scrap the remained residues.
3. Clean and dry your body and skirt.
4. Re-apply with silicone double take on your front skirt.
5. start to stick from center bottom part, then slowly re-align to to sides.
6. Once fitted, screw back the hole.

Colour wise, hmm... try polish it, see can change colour or not lol  thumbup.gif
*
bro, if I unscrew it and screw it back again, you want me to drill a new hole? tongue.gif I believe the skirting need to be adjust and move slightly higher because both sides of my fog lamp can see the gap very obvious from top view..
so we both have problems taking out fog lamp cover rclxms.gif
the only last question is, what to do with two tones of my car cry.gif the skirting paint and my car paint has very obvious color difference..

another thing my friend, notice the TRD sportivo rectangular shape fitting at your spoiler? I thinking of customizing a GT Street logo on it, you wanna join in? icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi Henry,
Happy to hear from you again. rclxms.gif
Yea, probably u need to drill a new hole. Don't worry, drilling is easily for front skirting as the bumper to be drilled is a plastic. Unlike side skirt, is body where you need to drill through metal   yawn.gif

You silver ride is rock from the photo, actually dont really see the gap too   icon_idea.gif  
From the picture, the 2 tones colours not that bad. My skirting have a different black colour as my body too, though is not obvious can when I see it properly, I can see the different   whistling.gif rclxm9.gif 

Mine spoiler don't have the rectangular shape embedded, low quality spoiler  blush.gif
*
actually there is a very obvious color difference tongue.gif light and camera issue, you can't see from the picture, but if you're beside my car, you can spot it straight away.. The medium silver paint seems like the normal medium silver instead of Toyota's custom medium silver, I compared it with my friend's GEN 2 with medium silver paint, its exactly the same color, well I need to look for another paint job yawn.gif

do you use a driller to drill it in? I don't have such tools shocking.gif

probably the one and only GT Street version Vios in Malaysia brows.gif

Hehe, never though you would take the TRD spoiler fit with GT Street skirting. Same as mine  rclxm9.gif

Because TRD spoiler is much cooler brows.gif
BTW, how much those silicon double tape cost you? I need to look for friends who can help me drill holes icon_idea.gif

QUOTE(kelvin_87 @ Feb 28 2013, 06:57 PM)
I think it cost me around RM40 which sufficient for me to stick to whole skirting, front,sides, back and left 5% haha
Just lend the driller and drill, no worry  rclxm9.gif

juz did my 1k sevice on dec 22, so the next service is 3 month/5k from the date u purchase the car or is 3 month/5k after 1k service?
*
you can either go back after 3 months or go back when milage reaches 5k.. People who drives often will reach 5k in about 1 and a half months, you can go back even after 4 months, as long as you reach 5k.. I only service my car when the targeted milage reached

hi all, I got a question, I'm thinking of adding LEDs inside the grill and engine so that when I open up the engine, you can have a full view of my engine without torch lights..
1) adding LED at the grill, will police kacau?
2) need professional guidance, which power source should I take from?

*I had installed a HID not long ago, power source direct from battery through a relay as I don't have enough power to source from power window.. Currently my internal front seats has LED strips below the pedal for both seats, and the power comes from power window..

Will damage the power windows motor for your setup? warranty void for sure?

I don't think so...? Well I'm not sure, anyway I'm running parallel with the motor, the voltage will be the same, only the current will be lesser.. I don't think it will affect much

that will be a lil hard to DIY sweat.gif
do you have LED side door visor/side door lights installed on your car? If yes, just take the power source from there..
if no, good luck rclxms.gif you will need to pull a wire direct from top door light all the way down to both mirror side
