Has anyone ever attempted an Aurion conversion, and if not, why not? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I figure some of you guys already spend huge amounts of money on new trunks, hoods, body kits, front end conversions etc etc...

Has anyone tried to do an Aurion conversion by importing the parts from Toyota Aus?

I'd roll around in an Aurion here in the States.

It's too expensive!!

Hah, I'd say if it's under $5K it's worthwhile. Can't be much more than for some bumper covers, hood, trunk and lights right?

I don't think it's a direct fit, I think someone discussed this before and gave up.

Another body kit option

I gave up....lol. I'm not a money tree. Being employed by Uncle Sam limits me to only a few mods a year.

Wasn't really referring to a body kit, but an actual Aurion conversion using Toyota OEM parts.

Because supposedly we're getting the aurion in 2 years

***ASG14*** · 03-16-2010, 06:35 PM

HAHA! Come up with $10k and I'll get the crap imported for you.

Front: Hood, lights, fenders, bumper, fogs, add bumper mounting..
Rear: Bumper, trunk, lights, wiring, bumper brackets.

Now, this is from Aus, which is on the other side of the world. You want me to go into shipping?

for 5k ill just get turbo!

Netforcer · 03-16-2010, 06:51 PM

Has it crossed my mind? Yea it has...

In the end, I went with 6.5 conversion... I still think about it tho
