Help finding Altezza kit and advan model 5's ...?

I am trying to make a model of what my friends car will soon be like. So... I need to find some good IS300/ altezza kits. And if any of them have it, I would like engine detail. Oh, and I think he will be getting something like the toyota racing team body kit.. or something like that. (i forget what its called)

And then I need to find Advan model 5 rims. in 18". I have seen people with them, but I cant seem to find them on HLJ.com.

And yea, I want to order through HLJ so if you could post links from there that would be great

Thanks
-Jason

So, did they stop producing the rims?

If so, does anyone in north america have some they want to sell??

And are all altezza kits curbside? cuz I dont wanna spend $50 on a fuckin engine. Damn.


Oh, and it is the Toyota Team Europe front bumper, and TRD sides that I will need.

I don't recall any Altezza kits with engines, so I think you're out of luck there.

As for the AVS Model 5, according to HLJ, they're out of production. I have set not marked for any future project I can part with (I'm in Texas). PM me.

Hono, that's a cool paper model. Might have to give it a try while I'm bored at work.

Hey hash_man, both kits come with the same front bumper, Side skirts (already molded on the body), and rear bumper. The only difference is the first kit comes with a different grill, and front chin spoiler. Both of the style are not TRD style.

So your saying that neither of those have the TRD sides or rear? I dont want the TRD front.

So if not, which kit will I have to buy to get the trd sides and rear, and hopefully a fairly stock looking front so it makes it easier to make the front bumper like the TTE front bumper.

Ya i know that would be most accurate to us version, but wouldnt the fujimi kits come with a LHD dash and a RHD dash?

Cuz I want one with the TRD sides and rear. and then I can make the front bunper I want.
