IDK about the spoiler yet... any ideas?

I dynoed it yesterday, 140hp and 140tq, but my tune is ____ed up bad, I think I can squeeze another 20hp minimum out of it, so Extreme is taking it while I am here in wonderful Texas again. I had the lowest hp at the show, but the highest gain from stock.

You could always go take the spoiler off that eclipse on the block that hasn't moved in a year. I'll keep a look out for spoilers, I still think either an evo style or the big celica style one would be cool.

stock spoiler just isn't aggressive enough

you could get more horsepower out of it, but I wouldn't go too far unless you decide to get a beater to drive around just in case your axles break.

Because I want to have an original vehicle. And spending 4K more base price for LESS car doesn't make any sense to me. Plus they didnt sell Scion in Germany. Stop Nay saying.

Waiting to get the pics from the shoot back. I'll post them when I do!

So you have a scion xA front end, a yaris turbo kit (or what was supposed to be a yaris turbo kit)
, your side skirts were probably designed for a corolla at first (remember that day we matched them up to your neighbors corolla?)

so whats next? a yaris sedan rear end? a trd celica wing? I'm beginning to think you don't want your echo to be an echo at all lol

I'm jk lol, I do think it would be cool to "frankenstein" parts from other cars and match them to your car as much as possible. how bout scion tc seats? your seats suck, tc seats would keep you in a lot better than your "granny fanny holders"

ya know man, i dig it.

But... theres just something i cant put my finger on, something looks off. i think its seeing xa headlights on a echo LOL

2 things i have noticed though, are the color difference between the front bumper and the fender, and the "scoop" in the fenders.

ya know though, you got huge coconuts for doing this. Its hella sweet.

Thanks Big Jim! The hardest part was convincing a body shop that it was possible. As far as a color difference, that might be lighting, there really is no noticeable difference in person. Also it's turbo and getting re tuned next week. Pulling 140whp/140ft lbs right now but my A/F is all messed up. Hopefully after the tune I will be pulling around 160/170oish.

The rear bumper is a no, but the skirts will fit. The angle is too off for the rear, it would end up looking warped.
