WOW... the pics coming in look REALLY nice! I can't wait till mine show up!

I am WAAAAAYYYYYY late on this, can i still get in... 40U/WA9737 Frosty

okay, here's how it turned out getting Abyss for the two-toned:They're a little on the shiney side for the handles, but they really don't stand out. I rather like them PLus it keeps me on top of shining up those handles!

Looking good so far! How does everyone like them?

I am very pleased with the result. Thanksdev

I love em!

I rather like them PLus it keeps me on top of shining up those handles!you could always get some "flat" clear coat and go over them... or bairly scotch brite them to take the shine down a smig...

Mine haven't showed up yet... I'm gonna cry! j/k!I agree with Sublimewind - dull those down a little and they will match closer with the two-tone for sure, but they look nice already.

Received mine thank you! Will try to post pics ASAP!Thanks again!

Quote, originally posted by KEYTECHNIQUES » Yes the frosty is the same as pearl white for the Scions. But Frosty is not "pearl" in any way... straight white...

Quote, originally posted by Sublimewind »But Frosty is not "pearl" in any way... straight white... I take it that it has no flake in the paint.

Yes, just plain white...

I was so excited today to see the package in my mailbox. As soon as I got home I was going to install them and post pix. But alas, they sent me the wrong color.The code on their capsule says 1F4, which according to their site is Shadow Mica for a Scion xB, which is not at all the same as Shadow for a Vibe 15U/WA914K. It is way too dark, and almost an Abyss color.Either I was sent the wrong ones, or they have badly misjudged the similarity of colors between Toyota and Pontiac. Seems the same was done with Frosty.Did perhaps someone else get my covers, instead of these? We could simply send to each other, rather than return them.

The mixture might be different. In the mean time just keep the set until I am able to adjusted it with my paint suplier. Just out of curiosity was the cover just dark or was it black?Thanksdev

I just found your order on the paypal and it was written as 14U/WA303M Platinum and thats what I sent you. If it was a mistake on your end no problem I am flexible but you have to send it back to me. You can send it back for an exchange to Dev Hanumara 414 Hortleberry Ct. Silver Spring MD 20905 Please include a note on what you want it exchanged for. Thanksdev

Oh really sorry... i swear i had sent for the abyss... ok. thats my fault then... um. if you have another abyss you can send ill just paypal you the money and just see if anyone here might want if for around what i paid to cover the new ones.thanks for clearin that up.

You are a nice guy and I am happy with doing an exchange for you. Mistakes happen and I think I made a few with some of the paint.

Ok well ill sent the silver back if you wanna send me the abyss ones. ill send it out tomorrow.thanks again.

Sure no problem. thanksdev

I haven't received mine yet. Do you know when they are going out?

Dev, I'm still waiting for the 2nd set I ordered (Neptune). I received the Moonstone set on Monday. Did both sets ship on the same day?

Somtimes some arrive early and some arrive late. I do believe however that you may have wrong color so dont be alarmed. Just keep the covers for now until I can adjust with the paint supplier and send out new ones to you. thanksdev

We decided to ship out the first order to you and the other one on the next session. The other set was made on Monday and should be sent out this week. Sorry you have to wait. Thanksdev

Ok cool. No problem. I was just a little worried since everyone else has seen theirs and I'm still waiting, and I'm a little closer than most. No biggie. How did you send them out?

They are sent out first class mail. From all of my experience of sending many of these covers location has little bearing on time recieved because once they are on a flight distance is not relitive. Thanksdev

Dev, No hurry on it. I just wanted to make sure the post office didn't lose it or worse. Thanks!

Any thoughts on the Frosty yet??

Got mine.

Quote, originally posted by KEYTECHNIQUES »Dont worry I will send you another set. Just out of curiosity was the cover just dark or was it black? --devThanks for the quick response dev. I'll look forward to getting the new ones. It's hard for me to tell but I think it's a really dark gray,

Just recieved mine and they look great. They fit really well and the color is undistiguishable. Thank-you

Quote, originally posted by Sublimewind »Any thoughts on the Frosty yet?? Sorry that I was not able to answer your questions. Very busy but I will make it up to you. How would you like to be a tester for the frosty.

I have some bad news. My partner has an emergency for next week so covers ordered now will be made on the 20th. Please show off your covers I really could use the sales. Thanksdev

alright, i finally got some funding. is it too late to put an order in? i have no problem waiting until the 20th or later for them to be made/shipped . emergencies come first. if it is possible to be done can you relink to the ordering site? if it matters i'm looking for the frosty white 40U/WA9737. still interested in the whole kit, or if you just have the doors that is perfectly awesome alone. thanks. and hope everything works out well for your partner.

Sure, i could test them... I will be going to get the Frosty Vibe this comming weekend.. Either me or tribalman could test for you, not a big deal to me... he has the car right now, i'll have mine next week....

Well I received mine today but they are more black then the shadow (gunmetal) grey. Do you want me to return them to you or wait until the replacements are ready?

Sorry to hear about all the color problems, guys.I'm surprised that there was an assumption that the Toyota colors and the GM colors were the same.GM only colors should have been ordered from the start.Looks like the seller was trying to get away with savingsome money on his end. But it looks like it didn't work out.Hopefully, he will make good on the replacements withouttoo much of a delay.

No it's all good, sounds like he is trying to make the wrong, right. Some people could have cut and run with what they have but like I said he sound like he is trying to correct the isssue which is a major plus in my book.

Good deal!

Quote, originally posted by Shadow-Vibe »Well I received mine today but they are more black then the shadow (gunmetal) grey. Do you want me to return them to you or wait until the replacements are ready?Just keep them and there is no need to return them. Only yours and VivaVibe got the wrong color. For the most part everyone else has got the right color but I am sorry that I relied on my paint suplier when he was matching color ingredients for me and let me know that this was the same as some of the other colors I allready had in my inventory when it wasnt. Yes I was trying to save money and only a few colors were ordered because I felt that I would like to economise where I can because paint investment is not cheap. I do however take full responsibility on making things right as soon as its possible.

That is fine. I'm just glad you are trying to fix the issue, so many other people just wouldn't care for two people who got the wrong parts. Thank you.

KEYTECHNIQUES, i haven't even fully ordered yet or done an actual transaction with you but the way you are handeling any errors and keeping us updated is a great thing. on other forums there have been situations similar to this, but we needed to practically hunt the person down to find out why there were errors in the program, or where our items were that we payed for a year ago, and still weren't released. keep up the good work, i hope you make other mods for the vibe. as long as i have the money i'd be getting them from you without question.

Are these available for the 2003 Matrix Silver? I have no idea what the paint color code is(I can look later today and post up if necessary) If so I am very interested. On the TC site it does not list the 03 silver, only the 05+ and I am not sure if it is different. According to thishttp://www.evchargernews.com/m...s.pdfMy color code is Lunar Mist Metallic code 1C8 I will verify. This might also come in handy so you can branch out on the the regular Corolla's as it looks like they shared the same colors as the Matrix. Also so you can branch out into other Toyota brands.

Mine showed up... thought they got lost, but I was wrong. LOL!Here's what they look like!
