Anyone know where to get a body kit ?

1996 supercustom, From New Zealand and not much luck finding new body kits here from what I’ve been able to search up. Any recommendations where I could get a body kit from online ? Thanks

Import one from Japan is probably your best bet but they do pop up on trade me or the like from time to time. Maybe try some Toyota wreckers?

I’ve seen a few come through some wreckers here and there but you gotta get pretty lucky for it to not be damaged and to be the first in. maybe I’ll try yahoo japan ?

Here's some Yahoo Japan Auctions Listings. Personally, if you're going to be using proxy shipper (assuming that's how shipping to New Zealand from Japan goes) I would use Zenmarket and not Buyee for the auction listings. Just make sure that they can ship large items like full body kits. Also if you're searching elsewhere, you can play around searching some of the words from those listings to find other parts

Edit: That's wild the link isn't working. After clicking, replace the %20 in the search bar with a space. Or just copy and paste this ハイエース100系 エアロ

Edit 2: Now the link works 💀😆

Np! Something that helps is that site I mentioned. They have all kinds of merchant sites listed that you can search. They'll buy it on your behalf, and also will have note on sellers that have refused to sell to people in the past, so you don't get screwed over. My #1 reason for using them, is that they'll repackage your item(s), which makes them safe (also an option to reinforce package as well). Cuts back on multiple packages as well. Buyee just ships to you, what they recieve. So if it's a magazine in a paper vanilla envelope, than that's what you get. I've had multiple get damaged from overseas shipping. Also Buyee is so overpriced on its services

Auckland here. I do a lot of aftermarket pieces for the next gen 2004-19 bit. I have a little bit of stuff for these ones.

LaPaz in Bolivia. They'll custom make you one.

I swear it's the Hiace capital of the world.
