"ist" of Japan changed the minor.

those headlights and taillights OWN! wonder if theyll fit the current ones. but those tailights *DrOoL

 

Well, there's your new xA... If the lights fit the older model, there will definitely be a grip of people swapping for those. And the grille is hot too!

-THE DON

 

Nice Improvements.
Nice sig DON.

 

Nice!

Tell me if you see any of the updated bB photos.

 

whats different besides the heads, tails, and grille?

 

wonder if the new grill badge will fit in an xa's grill without modification, unlike the old "I" badge. altho what IS the badge?

those definitely look nice. love the tails

 

That badge is the Netz logo....ala Netz dealers

FYI the blue model is the "Elegant" trim line, and the black is the "Sporty" trim. Link

 

Thanks for posting. I have a few more mod ideas now.

 

Wow the Kenstyle kit really looks hot with the new headlights and tail lights




Oh and the addon lip for the new bumper is HOT!

 

Wowzers to the Kenstyle kit. It looks great!

 

Wow, the new Kenstyle kits looks awesome! Too bad the two in my garage don't look like that!

 

Nice! Thanks for the link and pics!

 

The modifications are slight.. just a new grill, new headlamp, taillamp and some feature upgrade. The new gauges r not too bad forthe A model.

 

There are more additions to the Japan market version which were alrready introduced here first and vice versa. For example, the new seats look is the one we currently here. The purse hangers behind the seats are now standard on the seats with a rear pocket. For the JApan version, a security system a la USA Lexus was added with a key transponder. Also the owner recognition door handles which allow the programmed owner to open the car without a key was added to the Japan product. The spare tire was moved from inside to outside providing a cargo storage area under the rear cargo mat area. An upgraded ABS system is standard with EBD. The A/C **** are the USA style in Japan now. As soon as I get more info I will post more. Even when I enjoy talking with former work "buddys" at TMC the time difference and the price of the call makes it hard to do regularly. Sweet, like somebody said a while ago, we want to have what they have and they want to have what we have for the fun of it. Enjoy!!!

 

Wow I dig the new xA... dont think ill do a trade in but go Scion! What's the diferance with the headlights? I really dont like the new tail lights but we all have our opinions!

 

hot hot. the air freshner is super badass.

 

Maybe it's my age, but I really don't understand what the big deal is about light changes, LED's, HID lamps, neons, whatever, etc.... Blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada, who gives a rats a$$!

Can someone PLEASE tell me why these things are SO COOL, or why they make any damn difference???

 

I like the grill and headlights, don't like the front bumper nor tails...

 

sorry for getting kinda off topic, I guess, but does anyone have a hookup for JDM parts? I just have to have the front emblem off of the 2006 ist. i want it i want it i want it.
SHAZAAM!!!
