Where can I find the Toyota bodykit for 2005?

^^ making stock bodykits, w/o toyota approval is an infringement on their intellectual rights. Its not a genius idea, its cheating. One reason you see gen1 fiberglass bodykits is cus' they are a tad bit different (the sides are different, and there is no rear center valance). With that said, if someone can make similar gen2 products, then there is money making scheme.

They are not supplying what the consumer wants. I say we take it into our own hands because there is no way they are going to release it. I hope someone makes something we think is decent.

All parts for body kit are locatable in "other accessories" [no pics provided] in the official toyota solara accessories brochure for 04/05 solara. Note - you will NOT find these parts in regualr car parts in toyota computer - they are considered accessories.

MSRP on all parts for the body kit is in vicinity of $3000 primered.

I can provide toyota part numbers for ya - but it is completely retarded to buy the kit at the price toyota wants for it if you ask me....

Think about this...SE coupe retails for 21650 and a SE sport coupe retails for 23145 a difference of 1495 and for that extra money you get an upgraded suspension and interior, not to mention the body kit. Doesn't seem like a bad deal does it?
Why Toyota is charging over 3 Grand for this part unpainted is beyond price gouging. And i still would like to know why you can't order the kit as an option on any solara. Toyota doesn't sell many solaras anyway, i would think they would want to sell it to you any way you want it. Also i dont think i've ever seen aftermarket parts come sooo slow for a vehicle.
Especially when we share so many parts with the biggest selling family car in america, the camry.
