I would like to announce that this vehicle has been totalled in an accident on January 9, 2004. Photos of the accident will be posted soon. The accident involved myself swerving out of the way of two wreckless pickups and spinning due to being pitted by a Prism, and being counter spun by an Expedition, and being stopped by another Pickup. Total hits by 4 vehicles....6 vehicles involed in the accident.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Question: Where can I find a body kit for the Avalon?
Answer: THERE IS NO BODY KIT MADE FOR AN AVALON. Atleast not yet in the US. Why do people like me and a few others on cardomain have one? Because we had the guts to mess arround with other kits; bottom line, we built and custom fit our kits. I don't mean to be an asshole about it but it is becoming a redundant question that people constinuously ask me and other tuner Avalon owners, over and over and over again.

PROJECT PIX APRIL 7
I apologize about the snow but it snowed in the April unexpectedly. Weird.
As you can see, there's peices of the vents we had to cut off to fit the bumper snug tight. We will later sand and smoothen it.
Here is a shot of the passenger side fiberglass molding unsanded. Right now it leterally looks like shit.
Here's the side skirt.
