My Competed Kit (with pics) Options

[Hongy]

k i started my exterior project back in may 06 by buying ss-iii rear and oem front extentions from chrisc, was thinking at the time all i need are skirts n a wing n bang im done...
turns out lookin for the right look skirts in aus took longer den i thought, about 2 months longer and the biggest pain ive com across in my life.
found these nice lookin trd replica skirts for $350aus but after i took em home they wer like 2 cms too short and were the wrong shape. took the skirts to all the panel beaters around my area n the best price i could find to get em fitted wer $400. After letting them muck around with the skirts for 3 weeks <<< thats right 3 weeks, all they did was just lengthened it by the 2cms and that was it, didnt fit it to the car at all. After 750 bucks all i had was unpainted skirts that still wouldnt fit and was lookin at a further 300 for refitment and panting...so i was like stuff that im taking the rest of the kit to get fitted eslewer.

in the mean time of lookin for another panel person, went out n bought myself the veilside replica wing to complete the exterior look.
Also bought som black mesh and cut it out so it fits snug around my fogs. (for any1 that wants to get som mesh with fogs, this is wat its gonna look like) our celicas 96 - bumpers looks like a smily face without fogs

not my car btw

lol

So ne ways,i found another place that would fix up the skirts + fit all the other pieces + paint them +fix all the dints and scratches on the car for $1400 (expensive but they wer the only guys left that would do the job. They quoted 1 week and after waiting 2 weeks i got it back...

Finally after 5 long months and $3000aus..ive got
'My Completed Kit'

so as i promiced here are som b4/during and after pics:

i not really feeling the spoiler, but everything else looks good

[CelicaZR]

Good work man
Finally its finished
Well worth the wait

Looks better than stock. But if you're asking what I think... I think the extentions and lip you have installed are supposed to give your car a clean and subtle look. They're not really supposed to stand out. That being said... that wing you have installed is out of place. I think a wing like that goes with a highly agressive body kit, not your set up. It's just what I think.

Wing need to go. Other than that, car looks great.

yeh i was actually thinkin that, i liked the wing but i didnt like the rest of the veilside look cause it was too weird, so tahts y i got all them extentions to make it look neater and to keep the original look of the bumper. didnt really like the look of any other spoilers so was left with this one. guess it is abit of a clash of subtle and aggressive ay...

i still have my old 3 post spoiler if i wanna change back, matter of unscrewing the VS one.

ne ways thnx for ur honest feedback guys, much appriciated

from wat u guys have seen of the rest of the kit, wat rimz do u think would match, any ideas? im thinkin 18" shadow chrome apache or somthing

Just put on some nice set of rims and drop it. Then its gonna look even much better. Btw the car is already hawt. Im not sure about that wing. I want it into my car but i have the whole vs thing on it. But good work anyway the bodykit fitting sounds pretty much same as it was to me - cost lots of money but was worth it.

[Hongy]

found a pic of the rims i want, 18" apache shadow chrome

[playr158]

(your car) - wing + drop + wheels = ok

[Nibbe]

Nice set of rims.

[Slick]

That's the look i am working on. except that i'll have the 2-post spoiler with raiser blocks.

[KB-2]

that wing......kinda looks a little ridiclious

[joehernandez]

(your car) - wing + drop + wheels = ok

My same opinion

[NGHTKD]

hey mate,

im another AUS member, where did you get ur sideskirts from???
I dont really like the look, soz. I rekon ditch the wing seriously, because it only goes with the whole Veilside look, and dump ur car + rims = SEX! lol. I rekon a whole front lip would look wiked, maybe erebuni or hirostyle. Look around, but yeh, i would be pissed off wit the panel shop who took 3 F^)$en weeks.

Cya bud,

Hey Hongy

Love the look of your car
The wing might not suit me but if you like it who cares aye?
I reckon the the apache 18" rimsplus dropping it will make your car one hot celi

All the best on the future mods

hey hongy!

good to see your finally finished with the exterior.
first of all like everyone says the wing needs to go but atleast you can just unscrew the wing.
now with the clean and subtle look definately a wingless look, pretty much puts the icing on the cake imo.

secondly rims selection is one of the most important decisions you have to make. everyone is going to have a say on the rims.
those 18" apache is an excellent choice. i was considering them myself at one stage. but here in aus they're plenty of cars that have them.

as a suggestion try something different something rare (rare=$$$). nwayz.. all up to you and goodluck with the rest. looking good btw -R

p.s. check out these jdm bling from works!


jdm bling!


deep dish yo!

was thinkin the 2 post spoiler ages ago, but looks too small by itself, with the gt4 raiser blocks looks too big (for me). ive been told u can get smaller raiser blocks from somwer, has ne 1 got more info on this?? with pics

i know there isnt much love goin round for my wing right now (hopefully the rest of the kit makes up for it alil) but gonna still drive around with it for awhile till i find somthing else that suits my cars style and after i get my rims, also cause i did spend som money on it n dont want it to fully go to waste straight away

callum, i got the skirts from carmate in syd, i wouldnt recommend them, they didnt even let me look at the skirts till i purchased them, then wen i took it home to look at it properly it was 2 cms short.

rom, them jdm bling blings look hot, cant wait to see som on ya car altho ur car is already hot

[NGHTKD]

hey mate,

Carmate ey, i was 'going' to get some stuff from there. You can get raiser blocks from www.ssv.com.au.
Still mate, even though we're talking about ur kit, remember its what YOU find appealing. If you still keep building you car to please other people, you'll never be satisfied. Look at DSRT-FX thats the look!!! lol

Cya mate,
