There may be hope for the Avalon!!

Ok guys I have been recently informed that the 1996 Toyota Chaser which is a Japanese model has near Identical dimensions as the 96 Avalon. They make many kits for the Chaser that look really cool and I will attatch a pic to show it. The only problem is that I cannot find anywhere that sells these kits, so if anyone knows where I can buy kits for Japanese modeled cars please let me know.

Yeah the Chaser is badass, I think it comes with the 1GGTE. Pretty popular among tuners in Japan so there are a tonne of kits and bolt ons. You'll probably have to do some custom work to make it fit.

Doesnt look that different to me in the rear, anyway the rear is just a lip that goes at the bottom of the stock bumper so it could definately be made to fit. And yes the avalon is way different than the Camry. The front bumpers are totally different as well as the rear.

the chaser has the same chassis as the gs300/400/430 and NOT the avalon/camry/es300/solara so youd have to custom fit it.. not worth the $$ IMO cuz shipping that kit from japan will put a hole in your wallet


+ the kit on the avalon would look like ass
cars like that shouldnt have kits... nice lip kits look great though

I didnt forget, thats why I said there will be some custom work that needs to be done to make them fit. But still I think it would be less work than tyring to make camry parts fit.
