BodyKit & Reinforcement Bar Options

[operative]

A search of the forum have let me to believe that theres no way for body kit and reinforcement bar to co exist on the celica.

Im putting on the vis knockoff of c1 right now. The rebar came off, now im trying to find a way of putting the rebar back with the body kit on.

The mechanic suggested making a custom rebar, but it'll be smaller.

Anyone have a better idea??

itchy b did somethin to his front suppport bars i THINK to make the kit fit. You can ask him

yeah, john (itchy_b) cut his rebar so it would fit. easier than that (i dont know how well this will work for the c1, it works for the invader) i just made a notch in the bodykit to allow room for the rebar... it sits behind the turns so you cant even see it... if you want to see, ill snap a pic of it...

i've been wondering the same thing, i know for the veilside type one like rocker said u can just notch it or cut the corners off the bar but the C-one i need to find out because i'm not sure if insurence will like it if its missing.

Well, the job is done already and I dont have the rebar on.

Gonna try figure out something later for future reference. The rebar is right in the way of the vents for the c1.

Im gonna start posting pics of my new c1 and paint job starting tomorrow.

yea i have the invader kit with the support beam still on it was easy as pie to coexist them.....you just have to sand/cut down the opening from the back for it to fit...really easy and still looks the same

oh p.s. insurance nor the state will allow you to modify that bar..it is ILLEGAL and you will not pass safty inspection if you remove/cut/mod. that car it HAS TO stay as is
