6G Celicas Forums

well if you think its stupid and crazy then thats your issue...go buy a knock off invader or c-one...they are pretty common and seen...and if you don't wanna spend 3 grand on a bodykit well thats your deal..i'm spending 3 grand on just rims alone? if you want cheap stuff then your in the wrong hobby....quality parts cost money...JDM parts cost MONEY...rare pieces cost MONEY....and i can defenitly see the VARIS kit if replica'd would turn into a pretty commonly seen piece just like i see c-one knocks quiet often..and invaders..but at an EC meet a GT4 look alike well..its pretty common place...JDM tails are the standard and USDM tails are less likely to be found...things loose their value as more people get them...the VARIS kit if replica'd would lose its value to the community as a whole if we start seeing it pop up every where...we can't go knocking off everything we can get our hands on otherwise things do become too common place and not as ideal to people....so all in all we must keep a certain standard of value within this community to see that quality and displacement are kept in balance and that we don't let things become devalued and less then wat we as owners should expect...instead of spending time trying to knock wat someone has once already made..why not try and use the gifts god gave us for a valued purpose and come up with something original, new and most of all a collective piece by the community...

Amen Dan

i agree. rare things should stay that way. i mean, how many different versions are the for the vader kit? and not that it doesn't impress me anymore, still pretty nice but its just a common kit among 6gc's. i wouldn't want the same thing to happen to something as hot and rare as the varis kit. it'd lose its appeal if you knew that 25 other celicas had the same kit.
anywho... back to the list. when i said i wanted custom projectors, i didn't mean jdm replicas. heck, they don't even have to be projectors. just clear lows and highs are good enough. anything's better than the frosted lenses. and that should keep the cost lower too.

I agree 100%!! make new kits or leave it alone. I have a knock off Veilside kit and it pains me to see them everywhere else, so much in fac that I almost hate my body kit

lets get back to the parts list...later today I am gonna draw up a tail light concept or 2. anyone want me to do something else?

As much as I like the idea of al this stuff, I probably wouldnt buy anything. Everybody is putting kits and stuff onto their celicas, while im just going to keep mine stock looking as far as the body goes. I'll add rims, and maybe even lights but thats about it.

You guys are a little unrealistic when it comes to this varis kit loosing its "originality", like the other guy said, "get real" because you guys like to exaggerate...

first of all I feel lucky if i see one 6gc within in a week, not to mention a kitted 6gc.. ("everyone will soon have it" do you guys live in a land of 6gcs ?!?)

second of all the request was for just the front bumper, go on ebay and try to find just the front bumper for sale of either c-one or veil, you won't... now go figure how its even going to make it to ebay if at most 10-20 people from here would want a replica. NO it would not end up on ebay

Third the whole issue of originality and uniqness is per this (6gc.net) community because in real life 6gc are very rare. Would it be really that painful to see extra 15 varis celicas that are hundreds of miles away from where you live? I do not see a reason to pay $800 to have more original bumper than my buddy from the forums, for that kind of money you can have a totally unique bumper custom fitted from a supra for example.

I see this as a great one time opportunity to have something too expensive for an affordable price. No, 15 replicas will not affect rareness of that product, No it will not make it to ebay copycats, no it will not affect varis as a company because they made lots$$$ of selling that kit already and even 50 more purchases will not make them produce new parts for 6gc. Get real people

anything carbon fiber, i love the stuff :-p my list would be (in this order)
1) CF rear window spoiler/shade
2) CF Door handles
3) CF splitter for C-One front
4) Possibly CF hatch but I would need extra stuff since i have lifter blocks so...
5) CF Caliper covers? Sounds like it could be cool.

i want a front and rear lip. cant seem to find one for the 96-99 bumpers.

its a 404 lip kit pretty common

The only reason we see ALL these veilside knockoffs and these 404 kits and c-ones is because they're the only ones we have and DAN you're a hypocrite. Somebody that says to spend money for QUALITY products and u get a VIS, VEILSIDE knockoff? Please. This is gonna be my last post about this cuz im not the one tryin to prohibit the expansion of parts for our cars. Why didnt u guys go on stopping the JDM Tail group buy from happening? I mean since JDM parts should be RARE, then why let that go? I see a lot of hypocrites on this site. "Lets keep JDM parts rare cuz they're expensive. But lets have a group buy on JDM tails and JDM projectors, and lets make JDM sills replicas. But lets keep the body kits rare."

Personally, kitted cars are rare in themselves and to have 100 cars with Varis kits out of 10,000 cars is still gonna be rare and honestly i STILL dont see that many c-one kits on this site, let alone outside of this site. Im tryin to get more parts for our cars. End of discussion. This is boosteds decision.

Most likely if they made these replicas, im not gonna get it cuz im done modding my car. im saving up for somethin better and more practical. Im just tryin to get better parts for these cars.

any news on the parts?

look, even if he does make the varis kit, the amount available is limited to the amount he decides to make. so if he makes 25 kits, and all 25 get sold to members here, there won't be any on ebay, because they were all sold here. I don't think it'll degrade from the original. seriously, the will be less rare but they still will be extremely rare, and your chances of seeing one while you're just driving down the road is so incredibly rare unless you happen to live right by another member of this board who bought one. I mean, seriously, I've never even seen a 6gc with body kits on it other than on the internet! so really, it's not like you're going to see them everywhere like a kitted civic or anything like that.

anyway, here's what I'd like to see:

whatever that piece is called, the plastic thing that surrounds your cd-player and the two center a/c vents, I'd like to see one of those in CF

fully CF shift knob, made for a 6gc so it just screws on, not with those silly adaptor things like the universal ones have, and the universal ones I see are always silver and CF, never fully CF. I'm thinking something like this shape: http://www.brandsports.com/images/TRD_leather_shift_knob.jpg but onlyt if this'll cost less than $50, I can't justify spending more than that on something like a shift knob.

CF cigarette lighter, doesn't have to be functional, just to make it fit the CF scheme I want to do for my interior

+1 for CF cargo cover

maybe an alternative to the SSIII front splitters. Same concept, different design.

that's all I came up with right now, maybe I'll think of more later

Hm. Even tho I don't have a celi any more, I'll chime in.

Deff some different styles of projectors and tails.

Different hoods (maybe something like the TRD supra hood for a Celi?)

CF mirrors!!!

Also, the vibe I see on "rare" parts is: "You shouldn't have them unless you can afford to spend lots of money on them." Our (formerly my) cars are rare already and getting more rare every day and wreck. I have NEVER seen a hooked up 6th Gen. I've seen ONE 5th Gen and all it had was body kit, rims, and tire well LEDs. Granted, the last thing ANY of us want to see is our cars demoted to Civic status, but why shouldn't everybody have a shot at whatever they want for their rides?

Amen to that. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Id like to see a CF radiator cooling plate. and maybe some CF engine dress up

Dam str8...now get to making my varis front bumber or kit becuase i want it now.......please make this for us...becuase im the only celica at my drag strip and car shows so...please give me somthing to waste money on my car that i actually want to waste money on cuz i like it.....if that makes sense..becuase i wont buy a kit just becuase i dont care for much of them and the few i do like...i cant afford them becuase they are all overseas..and pillar pods would be nice

i like those
plus

-carbon fiber oem looking two post spoiler on cf gt4 lifter blocks


i think a cf hood, hatch, and spoiler on those lifter blocks would be the epitome of sex

well i got a pic for everyone...might not be everyone's style but the drawing looks good atleast..

PS- for some reason i dont have MS paint or any other photo editing software SO you got the binder wire in the pic too oh and as far as that little blob f darkness on the liscense plate holder...yeah i got too much ink on it and it ran
