SCION BODY KITS:

In 2004, a new division of Toyota Motor Corporation emerged with a sole purpose of targetting youthful buyers interested in tuning and modifying thier cars, a huge trend in the automotive industry over the last few years. The new company is known as Scion, and customization is the theme that goes along with the name, evident in all of its advertising media. Personalization, Flexibility and Openness are key terms in the marketing of the Scion vehicles. Added to that, the Scion models have a reliability and sensibility factor tied into it as a derivative of Toyota motor vehicles.

Currently Scion features 3 distinctive models to its lineup. In 2004, the boxy XB was released along with its more rounded hatchback known as the XA. In 2005 the much anticipated sport coupe known as the TC was released. The TC bears some similar styling cues to the highly successful Lexus IS 300, also known as the Toyota Altezze. The TC is a two door sports coupe that is the heir to the Celica throne that was left by that vehicle after it was discontinued. The XB is perhaps the most unique of the trio offered by Scion. The XB is a boxy and stout vehicle that looks somewhat like a van or SUV but with a very distinguished look that has catapaulted this vehicle to the forefront of the tuning industry as almost a cult hit.

With Scion vehicles hitting the market just over two years ago, enthusiasts have had a high demand for aftermarket stying accessories such as Scion body kits, ground effects and carbon fiber products. Although newly released vehicles usually take about a year to two and a half years to begin releasing products for vehicles, the anticipation and demand for Scion body kits and accessories have caused manufacturers to step up design and production creating a complete line of new releases for Scion vehicles.

Bodykitz features the internets largest selection of Scion body kits and aftermarket accessories from several of the industry leading manufacturers. Bodykitz not only carries Scion body kits, but vertical Lamborghini style doors, ground effects kits and carbon fiber hoods. While there is currently a large selection of aftermarket accessories for Scion vehicles, we expect the trend to only get larger as Scion gains marketshare.

OUR FAVORITE SCION BODY KITS:

Scion TC Widebody Kit by AIT Racing - The AIT widebody for the Scion TC has been one of the most anticipated body kits to hit the import tuning industry in years. The TC widebody kit continues the tradition AIT (Advanced Import Tuning) has been developing in Wide Body Technology. This kit features a uniquely designed front and rear bumper that join to widebody fenders and quarter panels and two sideskirts. The kit also includes carbon fiber front and rear air diffusers to complete the package. This kit is great for show purpose, however Scion owners looking for something more for street and every day use might find this kit to be too much in the way of cost and installation.

Scion TC Kaminari Body Kit - Domestic styling manufacturer Kaminari has a very stylish body kit for the Scion TC. The kit is built to order and usually takes 2-3 weeks to complete. The Kaminari kit has smooth and sleek lines that accentuate the vehicle much more than its stock componentry. This kit is made from hand laid fiberglass reinforced plastic composite. Installation can be performed by most high end tuning shops and body shops.

Tips:

Before you purchase your body kit or during shipping time, it is a good idea to make sure that you have a qualified installer for your body kit. If you are purchasing a fiberglass kit, it is especially important to find one that can specifically deal with the alterations that may be required to fit your kit correctly. Fiberglass kits in general need some finishing work during installation, such as sanding, primering, filling pinholes/gaps, trimming or shaving. Many times, our customers are charged more than they should if they use a shop who is not familiar with altering fiberglass because of the additional time involved.

Also be sure that whoever is recieving the kit inspects the contents of the box before they sign for it. Although most shipments are recieved undamaged, it is possible that your shipment may be. Because we are not in control of the freight company and thier policies, you must inspect the kit before you sign for it and if it is damaged either refuse the kit and note it on the delivery invoice so that we can file a claim for you.

Scion Motors (from Wikipedia)

Scion is a United States-only division of Toyota Motor Corporation founded in 2003. It is also a brand of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.. It currently has three models: the xA and xB (both rebadged Japanese market cars, named ist and bB, respectively) and the tC (a new design based on the European-market Toyota Avensis). Scion's long-term goal is to appeal to Generation Y consumers, expected to dwarf the market size of Generation X by 2020. Scion grew from Toyota Project Genesis, a failed effort to bring younger buyers to the Toyota marque in the United States. Scion is Toyota's entry-level brand, slotting below Toyota in the lineup.

Scion uses sales tools such as Pure Price, innovative Internet advertisements, and monospec trim levels with a wide selection of aftermarket accessories. Extensive market research and testing with Generation Y consumers formed the basis of the Scion badge.

Pure Price means the price posted, whether on the vehicle, in an advertisement, or on a menu display board in the dealership, is the price customers will pay. This includes vehicles, accessories, finance and insurance products. Pure price is designed to ensure a shorter and simpler process, eliminating all negotiation. The concept aims to be open and consistent. The concept is not new to the American market, having been introduced in the early 1990s by the Geo and Saturn marques of General Motors.

Scion aims their Internet advertising at the 10 to 15 percent of Generation Y who are on the cutting edge. These consumers have been exposed to tremendous amounts of advertising, and are jaded to traditional marketing hype. The Scion Promise of "Openness, Flexibility, and Personalization" appeals to these leaders. At the same time, older buyers also find the Scion to be an attractive purchase, because being an offshoot of Toyota assures Scion's value, quality, durability, and reliability (Scion means "Son of Toyota").

Scion's sales approach thus differs greatly from that of the larger Toyota entity. In the United States, for instance, the Toyota Camry offers several trim levels: the standard sedan (for budget-conscious drivers), the LE (popularly equipped), SE (for sporty drivers), and XLE (for luxury-minded drivers). In contrast, all Scions have one standard trim level and are designed to be uniquely customized for the driver. The only options available when ordering a Scion are model, color, transmission, and optional Side-Curtain Airbags.

Scion offers about 40 different accessories; other after-market companies are adding new accessories, as well. For example, one can add a subwoofer, different types of decals, canvas roofs, and other accessories. The tC now offers an optional supercharger to increase power from 160 to 200 hp (120 to 150 kW). All accessories are sold individually, and do not require special packages. However some options, such as Ground Effects, do prevent other accessories (such as mud flaps) from being installed.

Scion's first two cars (the xA and xB), while unusual for American roads, have been received well among consumers tired of "vanilla" entry-level vehicles. An episode of MTV's Pimp My Ride featured the Scion xB, which is the top-selling Scion with about 40% of the market share. The tC has been very well received and sells briskly.

Scion advertising includes the disclaimer "Some vehicles featured are modified with non-Genuine Scion parts. Check with your local Scion dealer as some accessories may void warranty, negatively impact vehicle performance and may not be street legal." This is due to ads featuring modified or completely remade Scion vehicles. Most notable are conversions by the 5-Axis team, which include an xB with a rear-sliding DJ mix board, a tC with a hidden widescreen plasma screen, and (most recently) an xA roadster with under-hood video projectors. These and many other advertised vehicles cannot be purchased/created at official Scion dealerships and, as stated, may not even be legally driven.
