Looking for ground kit/special edition for 2007 avalon

[spltfngr66]

I recently bought a 2007 Avalon Touring. I wish I would have bought the Special Edition. I am now trying to locate these parts, the Bumpers and Side skirts. From my understanding they are a port installed option, however it is a body piece so it has to be available for purchase somewhere. I am just having a hard time locating them. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks Daniel

Must be parts special made for the SE Region. Up here in the NE we don't have an SE trim, only XL, Touring, XLS and Limited. The only body parts I've seen from Toyota dealers are mud flaps, body side moldings and that little spoiler that goes on the trunk.

I think it is actually a package that can be added to any trim level. I am not sure if it is just available in the Southeast. I have attached a picture of a limited trim with gound effects. The msrp is $1650.

I'd guess they are after market parts that may be added by the SE region dealers. I've never seen them offered from Toyota or a Toyota parts distributer.

YES!!! I just did a build your own on the Toyota website, using an eastern NC zip code and found three XLS Limited Avalons with that ground effects ackage installed. AWESOME!

They were available after mid-December 2006. So they must be en route form Georgetown, KY? ...why can't we get that up north!

The Southeast distributor (JM Family Enterprises) is the largest and does lots of special stuff in their facilities--most have additional window tinting (38%), many have mud flaps installed by them, the ground effects, spoilers, even special painting on some models like the Highlander. Here Highlanders could come with a contrasting gray below the side molding in prior years, not sure if it still does.

I doubt they are aftermarket if Toyota lists this on their website; however, I'm sure the folks already mentioned do a fine job...or better at this type of customization. My bet is that Toyota doesn't offer them because of a demand issue up north? Ice and snow tend to raise havoc with ground effects and the average age of the Avalon buyer is 59 years old - not the usual demographics for the ground effects crowd...

I just saw a black one here in Boston. It was driven by an old lady. The black avalon + kits looked very nice.

Anyone has the part #s?

I too am looking for those ground effects for my 2005 Touring. If anybody has any info, please let me know.

Have any of you concidered contacting one of the SE regional dealers?
Seeing as how that's who offers this add-on kit, wouldn't it be the logical thing to do, instead of playing the old game of, "The blind leading the Blind".

Oh, and don't hold your breath thinking that they will supply you with this kit for the advertised PIO price.
Ain't gonna happen.
Last I heard, they could sell the painted kit for something more in the region of $2800, not including the installation, of course.
Good luck getting one of them to even answer your emails.

No need...I saved myself a ton and talked my sis into selling me her '99 XLS with 65K on it. S...W...E...E...T! She went and bought the '07 !

Anyone have any luck locating the ground effects kit? Also, the TSS package for the Avalon has Enkei wheels that I cannot find anywhere else.

Carson Toyota TRD Parts, Replacement parts and accessories for Southern California

this site sells the kit painted for 1699.00

Thanks for the information! Anyone have any ideas on where Toyota gets the Enkei wheels? I googled about every Enkei wheel dealer and none have the 18" Enkei wheels offerd in the Avalon TSS package.

I own a (black)2008 Avalon with the TSS package, I purchased my car in Texas, it came with tinted windows, kit, and the 17' Enkei wheels.
