QUOTE(Ralph96gt @ Oct 5, 2006 - 8:27 PM) [snapback]488240[/snapback] it is true that a lot of kits dont fit...some look down right ugly and dont even look like it belongs on that car but if you go with a manufacturer that designed the kit for a specific car, like veilside for our celicas im pretty sure its gonna fit just right...of course then you woud end up paying like 1700 bucks just for the front..lol But there is something in having an "Official" Veilside kit. And that something is pretty much just bragging rights, and the fact that you spent money with no chance of any return on it. |

^ Agreed, the only prob with body kits is they are fiberglass. If you live ANYWHERE near bumpy roads dont do it. I have a C-One front and i have cracked it already. I got it fixed and cant even tell it was there, but it made me want to cry. So if your gonna get a kit and live in a rough area do yourself a favor and dont buy a $1500+ kit. just my advice and opinion.

^agreed. Because veilside and real c-one is still fiberglass. They don't make any polyurithane kits for our car.

I have an Invader front that was bought somewhere on the internet...don't remember where, but it was about $175. The shop that did the work ordered it and had it shipped there, so I didn't have to worry bout shipping. I had it put on in place of my stock front that was destroyed in an accident, so the car insurance was taking care of it. The shop had to cut to make the turn signals fit and they had to have a steel bar cut and installed on the front of the steel bumper so the Invader front could sit in place correctly, but it ended up fitting really nice with the exception of the lower lip piece just being off a lil' bit in the center where the sharp corners meet the top piece. Check it out for urself...BBW Profile
