Anyone see the latest issue of Performance Auto & Sound?

It features a REALLY nice Chevy Aveo hatch with and AWESOME body kit! THAT'S the kind of kit I'd love to get for my Echo RS! If anyone has see this kit or something like it for the Echo, please post up some links or contact info! THANKS!

Keep in mind all of the kits currently offered by BC Auto are designed for euro/jap spec bumpers which are shorter than ours, so the bumper v-bar underneath our Canadian bumpers would need to be modified:

And check out the Aveo kit Tim from Echofans.org found:

Wow!

Is anything like either of these available for the Echo hatch in North America?

Thanks Echo_HRS! I saw that kit in PAS mag too, but I thought it was a unique / custom made item! Good link! Thanks!!!

On a completely... sort of not really related note: I really don't like Chevy Aveos... I think they're GROSS

I really like this one. I found the pic. in the show and share section a while ago. It's subtle, yet classy.

I always thought Aveos were Chev's pathetic attempt at competing with the Echo hatch (since Toyota is totally owning the subcompact / compact / economy market in Canada), but I've been more open-minded towards them since finding out about their Italian designer and since seeing a few nicely modded ones. I still prefer my RS though!

That white Echo looks pretty decent to me!

As for that Rev kit, it looks good . . . but it's not different enough (from what I already have) to really justify the cost.

hey where do u get that kit from? the white one? and wot is it called? wot style? i want it!

It is the Zero Fighter kit...by Sixth Sense in Japan...

http://www.sixth-sense.jp/aero/index3.html

The kit is made for EDM/JDM bumpers, and will not fit Canadian Spec Bumpers without moving and re-welding the v-bar...It is also Gen 1 Vitz, so the headlamp shape is different...
