Bodykit, Question arising II Options

[Exile04]

1st question do i have to take the crash bar off to fit the arising II on?

And do u think the arising II with 404/invader sides and 404 rear would look good?

dont know about the crash bar

but if your going to spend the $$$ to get an arising II front, dont throw on an invader sides and rear...

[Exile04]

oh no i wasnt going ot put the invader rear...i was going ot pu tthe 404 lip rear on.

Because i can get just the front for 850 bucks so i was thinking spend 800 on ht efront, 130 on sides and 130 in rear

[Exile04]

anybody?

this front (sry for stealing pic)


this side and rear

404 sides are larger and should be a better match for the Arising 2 front and rear bumpers.

Man I'm thinking about an Arising II bodykit, does anybody know the answer about the crashbar??

[Consynx]

don't think anyone here has it, try another forum.
it would prob be your best bet

[Akimbo]

That kit reeks like JDM so much. Purdy.

[Exile04]

yep and im getting it some time this month

[dannesweden]

Have you ordered a kit?
If you did, please write in this thread about how it fit.

[presure2]

from the looks of that pic, it looks like you'll prolly have to cut your rebar some for it to fit...my thinking is this:
the JDM kits are gonna be made to fit the JDM rebar, so if you ask me, your best option is to cut the usdm bar lengthwise about in half, like the guys who did lagos' front end conversion did.

[Exile04]

well i knwo somebody ele did already im waiting to see what he says about the bar then im goign ot order mine his should be in soon

or i might just order and if i can tdo it without the crash bar then ill resell it...someone might want ot buy i dont knwo tho...

Here is a picture of a Japanese St202 without the front bumper cover

Here is a picture of a Japanese St202 without the front bumper cover
as you can see it has a fat bar like the U.S models. Hopefully the Arising II bumper for the st202/203 was made to fit that fat bar.

This a picture of "perfect blue" GT4. I think maybe only the GT4 St205 versions have the thin bars.


Varis Arising II front bumper for St202.203
(from a Japanese site)








looking at the size of the bumper and how long the headlight and highbeam light "cups" are I'd say it should work. but I could be wrong big time. I'm expecting one also, we will see when arrives.

the sweetest one

I'm too much of a boyscout to cut my crash bar, if it doesnt fit then.....
I'll have to chalk it up as a painful learning experience.
wouldnt sell it ,because I dont recomend anyone comprimising saftey. I would feel sick if I sold it to someone and they crashed and died.
I'd carve out some fiberglass from the kit.

[Exile04]

i shoul djust order it and hope it fits...i didnt want to tell anyone that u were getting manta i didn tknwo if it was a secret or not..haha

[dannesweden]

Thanx for the pix, don't cut me in half with this question but:
If it doesn't fit, would it be possible to replace my crashbar with a smaller gt4 crashbar if I find one?

the gt-4 crash bar wont fit unless you get the frame brackets they bolt to, they list for about 180ea from toyota
