For all you Sportcross owners that have been wondering about the Oem Toyota Altezza Gita rain guards....sorry to inform you that they are discontinued. Most of you might have already known that, but I didn't.

Since I don't speak much Japanese and engrish is my first language I decided to hit up the next place we might be able to get oem rain guards from, NEW ZEALAND ( cause them dudes speak English). Called about 6 different parts wreckers out there to source one set. No luck. I ended up doing what I didn't want to do...calling the dealer. We all know how much dealer prices can go up to in the states, but in another country? I didn't want to even hear how much they would cost, but when contacting the dealership in Auckland......brother man with the accent told me...."sorry sir no can do."

I then hung up and sobbed quietly in my community college bathroom.

Some guys at other wreckers have my number and info for when they do source a set, so I'm crossing my fingers.

All I want is an OEM TOYOTA ALTEZZA set for my sportcross.

If anything I'll pick up a sedan set, cause they actually look sexy as fukk on Emerson's car. BTW - Thank you Emerson for sending me those photos....hella appreciate that.

Peace and Aloha,
Justin

Justin, I would just rock the sedan ones. Only your fellow SportXer would know they are not correct, and half of them would know either.

The chance of you running into of those 1,500 is pretty slim. hahaha

youre welcome Justin for the pictures bro!

Squareback, you're probably right boss. Not much people will be able to tell. I'm putting work in for my fellow sport crossers though. I'm new to your community and would like to contribute as much as I can. I'm in Hawaii so I'm much closer to the motherland, Japan, than most of the boys on the forum. I'm in contact with people in Japan and New Zealand at the moment, and will be getting in contact with people in Australia and the Phillipines very soon. I will not stop till i can get a some sets into the US.

If I do succeed, I'll probably bulk order as much as I can afford, to save on shipping, and then offer it to the boys on the site for the same price I picked them up for with the shipping costs divided up equally. I dont want to make any profit.....just help da boys out....

BTW thanks for allowing me to be apart of the forum community.

Emerson, well thats what came directly out of a Toyota dealership parts department manager's mouth, in Auckland, New Zealand when I spoke with them today.

I really appreciate you taking the time to take detailed pics for me.

oh no sweat bro! ive had them pics in my folder for awhile when i first installed them, hehe so i really didnt take them recently! i just needed ur email to attach the pics

 

[bb6lude]

time works against you when it comes to ordering parts. i was lucky to get actual honda headlight covers for my prelude (way back when) from a cousin in australia (i guess it's something they need in the outback?) just for fun.

they might still have some hidden in a parts bin somewhere.

ricky

So after some research and chronic hours of contacting various people in various countries, I was able to get my hands on a set of genuine Toyota Altezza Gita window visors. The visors have "Altezza" stamped on them. I told you I wouldn't stop till I got a set. I have the Toyota part number for the visors if you would like it. Got them to Hawaii for about 175-180 shipped for Japan via EMS.

Hit me up if you would like the contact email to get a set, I will gladly share it. I'm broke so I didn't have any money to order extras.

I have a lot more pictures,but since I'm at school, I had a friend phone pic this one to show the rear fitment. SHITTs Oem so no worrys. They came with foamstickiness attached with clips that go under weather stripping, directions, and protective plastic wrap around them. The person I got them from is legit and boxed them up sooooooo good that you'll trip out when you see pics. I'll post more when I get home from school.

 

[diegolex]

OMG! i need them bad Justin!

man ur a great addition to the sportx family!

Thats it for now.

 

[sway162]

Nice Justin! Ya, the packaging is legit. Thanks for posting pics! Man, your Sportx makes me wanna paint mine black! lol I like the red tails, nice accent on the black. Do you know where the previous owner got those side skirts and rear lip from?

Sway,

The red tails are one of the main things I like about the rearend. I'm trying to get a stock rear bumper so I can get the car a little lower. The lip is a TRD replica cut into three pieces to fit the sportcross bumper. Its been fully molded and painted so to do anything different I have to take the whole bumper off.
Its a shetty pic and it makes it look like theres side skirts, but I dont have any skirts. Let me know if you need any further info and I'd be glad to help you out.

Peace and Aloha,
Justin

Oh okay, got me! lol I was just trippin bout those side skirts! I like that lip though. I want to try and find someone here local that can modify a lip like that...or I can just continue to look for a rear gita bumper. Thanks for the info and the PM bro. Yeah, I love the look of the red out tails. Here's mine : http://my.is/forums/f90/happy-birthday-my-sportcross-pics-pics-more-pics-410521/#post6176327

Josh,

Your car looks great man. I like the progression pics.....
BTW, How does the plastic bra attach? and where did you get your chrome rings for your headlights...and how long did it take for the whole process....My driver side headlight is catching moisture and I'd like to seal them up..
