I'm looking into getting this kit for my 2014 S...my question is do you have issues scraping? I'm buying the BC adjustable coilovers and dropping it 2" to 2 1/2" and wondering if you have this problem with the bodykit?

brothabear could probably answer that one, im guessing by the looks of it you would probably scrub in places that are steep.

You're better off just getting lowering springs if you only plan to drop 2 to 2.5 inches. Your ride quality with coilovers will be much harsher with such a small drop compared to lowering springs. Dropping that much you will scrape only on steep driveways/dips/speed bumps. I'm dropped 4-5 inches at the moment and everything is a problem. I can't take a dips or driveways without having to angle my car and I still scrape.

My buddy with the red corolla only scrapes on the little aero tabs in front of the front wheels, he needs to take an angle on driveways occasionally.

I'm on my 2nd Mapisa lip and here are the damages from the first and current lip.

On a different note, do the turn signal mirrors work? How are they wired up? I have an LE and want the S mirrors, but couldn't find a connector. Unless it's what's already plugged in.

Dealer. If you search for one of the parts on the front, a bunch of stuff will return. Look for the dealerships like Toyota of Clermont or Dallas Toyota. Something like that. When you go to their page you will see all the other parts that you'll need.

My buddy got the parts off of eBay. He probably spent around 400 for everything, painted front bumper, upper and lower grille and fog light bezels. He moved over his front emblem from his grill and fog light housings to the new grill and bumper.
