    Sorry to post such a thing, but I've been going crazy trying to get the bodykit for my car. I was getting the Tommy Kaira kit with the rear wing... BUT, Carson Toyota can't seem to get a response from Kaira...and now Carson Toyota has just stopped responding to my emails...which is pissing me off. I know I had talked with another member who was getting some Tommy Kaira bodykit pieces, but can't find where I talked to them/messaged them about it. If you are out there, or if anyone could please let me know so I can try to reach/message them, I am wondering who they went through to get the parts, and if they had any issues getting stuff...... I'm SICK of waiting. My Prius was rear-ended in the parking lot at work one night while I was inside (hit and run), and it cracked the back "bumper"... I've been waiting to get my bodykit to get it fixed, since the bodykit will replace that part anyway. AND, I don't want to have to have my car in the bodyshop two different times. It's always a nightmare experience.... They don't care about the car like I do, and don't take care of it like I tell them to do, so I am always beside myself when I get it back... Anyhow, I'm tired of driving around with a cracked rear end on my car... So, I've gotta find a way to get this bodykit bought and headed my way.

    I think you'd be the first one.

    Which Tommy Kaira kit are you considering?

    I definitely do NOT like the first one at all... I like the 2nd one cause it looks like the Audi R8 front end a lot (Best Audi R8 | AutoSportCar.com). I attached pics of the pieces I intend to get (hood spoiler, rear wing, hatch wing, headlight garnishes,.... and of course the body kit!). I just know I talked with another member on here who was getting the FIRST front spoiler that you posted, and then the other lower pieces that just attach to the bottom all the way around. They were NOT getting the front and rear options where the pieces are the WHOLE front and WHOLE rear bumpers... I just can't find that message anywhere....

    Try Longo Toyota. They offer the Five Axis kit and may be more successful in getting a response from TK.

    Wow, those eyelash thingies look really stoopid.

    What is the hood scoopy thing suppose to be or do?

    I do like the look of that spoiler in the 6th pic.

    +1. Depends how much it costs though, because it doesn't look bad but it doesn't look good either. I wouldn't pay more than $30 for it, even if it were to just finish the kit.

    I think the hood scoop thing is to hold me down to the ground when I'm driving around town at 180mph.... lol! Nah, I think it's just for looks. It may have some aerodynamic function, but I can't read Japanese, and don't know what all it says on the website where it shows the scoop....

    Yeah, I figure the headlight garnish is something that will either be a like it or hate it thing. I thought it was cool as soon as I first saw them. BUT, I understand that not everybody will rush right out to get them. They're just like an interesting piece of jewelry on the front of the car or something.

    Clearly it is designed to cool down the windshield wipers. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

    F*** it GPG. Buy the whole kit and call it a day. Who cares what each piece does. Your ride will be the best out there for consistency sake. Probably even better than Rodney's. Just do it. :D

    I'm blonde, so bear with me... lol! So, you got the Tommy Kaira version 1 front piece and side piece.......and then the version 2 rear piece? Was it you that I talked to about that a month or two or three ago? I remember talking to someone on the forum who was getting different pieces like that (different pieces from different kits/versions). I guess the rear piece that you got is the same rear piece that is in all the Tommy Kaira pictures that have the rear wing on the car? [ame]http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h103/Grumpy_G/TommyKairaPrius.jpg[/ame]

    I just don't know why Kaira isn't responding. Very frustrating, since I know there's also the long wait time AFTER you order it and pay for it...

    Bad news maybe.... I just tried one last email to Carson Toyota, to the guy I've been dealing with.... The email came back to me undeliverable....

    Well, scratch that....I just called the dealership, and his email address is changed up a bit now. SO, we'll try that again! I hate to ditch him, cause he's gotten other stuff for me, plus found the "L" emblems for me, and the rear window and hood spoiler that I plan to get. BUT, I'm so sick of waiting. It doesn't make sense if other people are getting stuff from Kaira, but Kaira is playing dead and ignoring the dealership's emails/attempts at contact now. But, I may give the other places you guys have told me about a holla, just as a back-up...

    Cool, that's going to be wrapped in vinyl? I take it there are at least 4 different TK kits?

    Why are you still messing with Carson Toyota when you have the contact info for the only two authorized TK dealers?
