Who makes this kit ? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

rocketace · 12-30-2007, 08:15 PM

I saw this kit on benca1's car and loved it.... I'd love to have it on my TCH and wondering who makes it? It doesn't appear to be the Razzi kit nor the one on Carson Toyota's website. Please someone tell me how to get this kit.... benca1's white Camry is frigging hot with that kit (epsilon's white SE is my second pick among white Camry's). Me want.. me want... me want.... cost is not a problem....

front (this is sooooooooooo sexyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!)

rear (frigging hot!!!!!!!!!)

Thanks, akira... Appears to be a PIO option from the SE region. Anyone know a dealer that has these in stock? $2500 seems steep but not a deterrent cos it appears to give a much better fit and look than the Razzi kit, IMO...

I just put the RAZZI kit on my XLE and it fits perfect. Also, the Razzi's use a different material (no Fiberglass or simple Polyurethane), which makes it stiff enough but also flexible enough for winter use. Customer service of the Razzi guys was outstanding and they did a very good job matching the mfg paint. Also, if you damage a piece of the Razzi you can order just the damaged piece and not the entire kit.

Love your car. So tell me a little more about this Razzi kit you put on your XLE. Was it a DIY or you had a body shop do it for you? Do you think its gonna hold up? Is it snug to the car? I saw it MSRP for $595, is that what you paid? And how long did it take from ordering to installation? Thanks...

I had a body shop doing it. I just ordered the kit and had it shipped to my dealer, who organized the installtion. The fit is perfect, no gaps or pockets, perfect color match and it really looks like as done by Toyota. I paid $1460 including paint shop directly from Razzi. I think the $595 is not the entire 4 piece kit but only front and back. The kit comes with all hardware including weatherstrips and cement. You can DIY but I recommend to ask a shop to do it - really. It took them 3 days to ship it out, mainly due to the paint shop they needed to do before shipping. Shipping took 2 days. All in all good experience. I cant comment on the durability yet but I am not much concerned. The material is a composite plastic similar to the stock material on an SE. One note of caution: All kits do have the dual exhaust back cutouts. For I4's, Razzi offers a fake second exhaust pipe set to make it look like a dual exhaust. My one is a V6, so I did not need it. But your choice if a fake pipe is not your taste.

Thanks a lot for that detailed answers. I checked the razzi site again and its actually $1420 painted. Don't know where I saw the $595

And your dealer installed this kit for you? I'll check with my dealer on this as well. Your install looks real clean and it does fit quite well. Good job... Since the razzi kit has cutout for dual pipes, I'll look into the SE POI kit as well. Hopefully, I can find a dealer in FL or TX with the kit in stock and shippable to my local dealer outta here...

Thanks. I recommend you also get the pipe extensions from Razzi. Actually, my dealer just organized the installation but the install was done by the dealers preferred body shop. Good luck, it will look good on your white TCH. Their are a couple more posts about the SET set above. Also a good kit, just a different taste.

You can purchase Benca1's kit here in SoCal from Carson Toyota or directly from their own parts website here:

http://www.newtoyotaparts.com/product/?id=2789

It's 8 peices and the rear valance has only a single exhaust cut out so it seems like it was specifically designed for I4's.

IF you choose to get the Razzi one instead and have an I4 you can also go with a custom dual exhaust setup. However, you would have to make a cutout for the second exhaust pipe on your stock bumper. LammyDi has some detailed pics on how he had his done and I believe Njerald is using dual stock pipes from the v6 on his i4. I went with a dual Magnaflow setup on my I4.

there was no drool icon!!!!

BOTH of those rides look damn hot!! I could do a coin toss and be happy.

have you considered the RKsport kit? Personally like that one better

Agreed, RKsport is another choice and it all depends on taste. Some Camry owners here have that kit and it does look fine when done right. I did not use RKsport as it is simple Polyurethane and where I am I thought Razzi's ABS is more durable. Also, RK and SET's front valance is just a lip underneath the lower grill and fog lights - Razzi integrates the fog lights and lower grill, i.e. it's all a matter of taste. I do like the rear valance of RK.

moky-tron · 12-31-2007, 09:58 AM

i like the styling more of the RKsport more than the razzi or the SET. the rear of the SET looks just a tad too fat. maybe you can mix and match the set, like get the rear of the razzi but the front and side of the SET and then the rear lip spoiler from RKsport. lol i wonder how that would look.

for the hybrid though, i would much rather go with the RKsport than the razzi kit

and then there's the full replacement bodykit- the Import Trendz aka Naristo Kit.

Absolutely, we should not forget that one. I like that the front and back are single pieces and no lips, but the front appearance is a touch too mighty for the theme I am going for. If you go for a racer theme - Naristo is the choice. In that case, I do think it needs to be complemented with race style rims, rear spoiler and some custom color. Don't you think?
