Coupe Bodykit, Group Buy Research Options

[chrisc]

It's me Chris again. I'm from Hong Kong and I think some of you know who am I already. As I received many enquiries about wing and splitters for Coupe. Now I want to arrange a group buy for coupe users. But before arrange the group buy, I want to know how many people will join this group buy. I will find the original parts and send it to a factory to make the replica of it.
I will try to find the following original parts.
1. TRD Wing (For coupe)
2. Hiro Curren Wing
3. Hiro Curren rear splitters
4. Toyota Optional Rear Extensions
Interested person please leave a massage and tell me what item(s) they want to order and also tell me your expected price. After gethering of the information. I can deal with the factory and try get the best prices for all of you. I think the above parts are the most popular parts. If any of you have any idea about that, please let me know.


TRD Wing


HIRO Curren Wing & Splitters


Toyota Optional Rear Extensions

Curren(coupe) is only sold in Japan and the States. And actually I'm negotiating with one of my customers in Japan now. I quite sure he can get the original TRD wing and HIRO Splitters for me. He will try to find the Toyota optional rear extensions for me too. But I think it's quite difficult as Toyota had stopped the manufacturing of it.

I will only import either TRD wing or HIRO wing. And I will import both splitters if I can. So please state clear what's the preference of you all.

I think the factory of making the replica is no problem as I had sold the splitters for hatch to some of the members already and none of them have complant about the splitters. .....their main business is making replica of bodykit

The prices of them depends on the quantities of you all will order. The more quantities in the group buy, the lower the price. That's all the information I can provide at this moment.

I would be in for the TRD wing. Cost-wise, odviously cheaper is better, but I would be willing to shell out 400 or so for a replica.

[Jabberwock]

I am intersted in all of it, but I would prefer the TRD wing over the Hiro wing.

Heh...I would even be interested in those tail lights

[Drocay]

I would love the splitters

[rlan214]

im with ghostdog id go for trd wing for around 400ish
im also down with rear hiro splitters so
after everything is done it'll look like this

....thanks for ghostdog for pic of this

[Jabberwock]

man I so want those tail lights.

I'll go 600-700 for both wing and splitters with shipping

[Supersprynt]

I'm in for the splitters, after i get those its wingless for me.

Yeah, those tails are kinda nice arent they.

[rlan214]

yeah but 600ish for a replica aint that kinda expensive considering we don't even know whose gon make the replica

[Coomer]

Personally, I'd much rather have the rear extensions on this car than the Hiro ones. I think they look a lot better, partly because they go lower. Another pic of them is below.

By the way, I'm very interested in a good replica of the TRD wing and these extensions for the rear bumper.

I like the splitters Coomer put up also, I'd be in for those and possibly the TRD wing, depends on the pricing though

[chrisc]

thanks rlan214... i've updated the trd photo already...

coomer... what's the brand of the rear extensions in your photo?

[Coomer]

[Drocay]

Yup I like the splitter that coomer put up even more I'd be in for that.

[ghostdog]

[BigEdge169]

so is this actually going to be a feasible thing to get these made, or is it just total speculation?

[chrisc]

I think the factory of making the replica is no problem as I had sold the splitters for hatch to some of the members already and none of them have complant about the splitters. .....their main business is making replica of bodykit....

This group buy is feasible or not depends on how many of you will join. The factory guy told me that he cannot estimate the prices without quantities.....

[latinc-li-k]

hey bro count me in for the rear spliters for sure thanks

[Coomer]

[chrisc]

Curren(coupe) is only sold in Japan and the States. And actually I'm negotiating with one of my customers in Japan now. I quite sure he can get the original TRD wing and HIRO Splitters for me. He will try to find the Toyota optional rear extensions for me too. But I think it's quite difficult as Toyota had stopped the manufacturing of it.

I will only import either TRD wing or HIRO wing(most probably the TRD one). And I will import both splitters if I can. So please state clear what's the preference of you all.

The prices of them depends on the quantities of you all will order. The more quantities in the group buy, the lower the price. That's all the information I can provide at this moment.

[latinc-li-k]

i like the ones that go lower the lower the better

[latinc-li-k]

if not whatever you can get is fine

[Jabberwock]

I like both splitters so if this does go down, I will go with whichever is the most popular one.

[aznxrussel]

heres some more pics of both of the splitters:

[latinc-li-k]

the ones on the white car are awesome ill be down for those

[TRDCelicaST]

Splitters or the Rear Extensions would be real nice to have. Count me in for either of them.

[rlan214]

i guess the oem splitter would work but either way let us know how much tho

[Supersprynt]

These, are different than:

these: (i like these the most)

[ghostdog]

heres what the Hiro lip looks like from the side

[neoklis]

I already have the complete kit on my Curren but i wanted to get them for my GT4 as well. Put me down for the splitters and let me know the price.

[FallenHero]

I'd be interested in either rear extension, whatever is the cheapest. I'd really like something for the front end though. A 94-95 front looks kinda strange with side skirts...

EDIT: I like the hiro splitters more*

[chrisc]

dear all

I had contacted the guy in Japan to find the wing and splitters for me. still waiting for his reply...... hope i can get the original parts, send it to the factory for molding and confirm the prices for you all within this month.....

[Buckeye]

I've heard they don't make the TRD wing anymore, but I'm down for the Toyota extensions!!! Is it just a rear bumper lip??

[chrisc]

[Buckeye]

I think it's on the parts database page. Someone posted something about this wing not being available to purchase anymore. Check it out.

[rlan214]

just do the splitters for now to go with your other splitters
prices should be that big of a difference tho right ?

[chrisc]

[Supersprynt]

I'll go for the TRD wing, but I think im leaning towards a custom hatch lip for the back.

[ghostdog]

[chrisc]

The estimate price and information of the TRD Wing for Coupe:

USD470 (by air)
USD435 (by surface)

1. Delivery time: within 3 weeks by air(Usually takes 2 weeks) , 5-8 weeks by surface.
2. Delivery only within US. Please send me an e-mail for other countries prices.
3. Shipping and tax are included in the above prices.
4. The wing can be sent to buyer given address directly.

I can offer the above prices if 10-15 people join the group buy. The prices maybe lower if more than 15 buyers. Interested parties please send an e-mail to sales@hediko.com as I need to confirm how many people will join the group buy.

*The group buy will go when there are more than 10 buyers.

I'm in for a group buy on a kit. Would hope to get prices below $400 though. $300 would be nice, I'd buy one right now =) How would I get the Toyota OEM rear extensions?? I have rock chips on the area under my bumper and these would cover that up!! Also want some side skirts for the same reason.

[Jabberwock]

wow, the wing is kinda pricey for a replica.

It would be nice to get splitters along with that price.

I probably will be in if there is a need for an extra buyer.

[ghostdog]

yeah, 435 is quite a bit. but I'll see if I can find some more people.

also I don't know where you are getting the TRD wing but I found a place selling them for 650 USD:

http://www.hirano-tire.co.jp/paji107.htm

[chrisc]

[ghostdog]

[Drocay]

do u have est. for splitters?

[chrisc]

ghost_dog - thanks for your appreciate. Is it really USD650? But as my convertion is 740. Let me check the exchange rate.

Yes I want to save more on the cost then you all can save more as well.

[ghostdog]

[Jabberwock]

If its possible, try to give us a package deal so that the TRD Wing seems kind of expensive but with the splitters as a package the price will seem more reasonable.

heh...you probably would lose this group buy if someone gets a hold of a cheaper trd wing that is already a replica and sells it to us as a group buy for cheap.

[chrisc]

[chrisc]

Dear all, I've got the price of the TRD Wing and HIRO splitters.

TRD Wing: USD410 (Air) USD375 (Surface) - total 15 buyers needed
HIRO Splitters: USD190 (Air) USD185 (Surface) - total 10-15 buyers needed
Package of TRD Wing+Hiro Splitters: USD585 (Air) USD540 (Surface)
OEM Extensions: still waiting the reply from Japan & China factory.

[rlan214]

holy crap hiro lip for less than $200
...waiting for oem tho

although wing is kinda bit in teh pricy side

[Jabberwock]

I'm in for the splitters.

[FallenHero]

that is amazing for the price. Shame I just dropped a few bills into rims..

[chrisc]

[Jabberwock]

Hey the package deal is pretty good. Its still kind of pricey but reasonable.

I hope we can get 20 buyers, crossing fingers.

I would really try to get the spoiler price a little lower.

[Coomer]

Those prices do seem good to me, as long as the replica TRD wing is high quality and fits well without modification.

Unfortunately, I need to save all of my money to take my car to a different shop to get the car finished, so I can't get in on any of this stuff right now.

[rlan214]

is there anyway you can do this group buy right after xmas
since prolly most of us are broke

[rlan214]

oh im pretty sure im in after xmas for 540 $

[chrisc]

Dear all, I will close this group buy by the beginning of Jan. And sure I will collect the money on next month, hope most of you are solvent at that time. But I need the estimate number of buyers right now. Now I need 15 buyers in both TRD wing & HIRO splitters. I will try my best to lower the cost of the factory. But now the prices are as follows:

TRD Wing: USD410 (Air) USD375 (Surface)
HIRO Splitters: USD190 (Air) USD185 (Surface)
Package of TRD Wing+Hiro Splitters: USD585 (Air) USD540 (Surface)

Confirmed buyers: (12/7 updated)
TRD Wing:
1. rlan214 (package deal)
