Lets talk body kits~ Options

okay, i know this is covered in the sticky; "The more you spend the better"

However; out of a few brands, i am trying to figure out witch i am going to purchase. I'm looking for the Blitz front with the invader sides and rear. Now, i WILL NOT buy theese off of ebay. Yeah i could get em for 100 bucks, but will it be anything decent? NO~

Body-Kitz.com offers a nice selection, but due to the fact they wont even give you the name of the manufacturer, I dont really want to trust them to deliver a quality product. Plus One member of this fourm (I forget the name) had a really bad experience with Body-kitz.com.

So I've been looking at Andy's wares, and it would seem there are a few good buys. I dont want to spend $1000 for this... So my question is if anyone has any experience with the following manufacturers:

AIT Racing - VS
Duraflex - Extreme Dementions
VFiber - Vision

Or look for yourselfs here:

So if anyone has an opinion on theese 3 brands, i would love to hear all feed back possible.

Well i'm glad for the 2¢ - I love a good fourm thread more than anything else!

So, your telling me that the coupe and the vert have similar bumpers and skirts? I suppose that would make things a bit better.

Yes there is a wide assumption that ALL of us have hatchs. And that does infact make a great point to watch for.

Does anyone know what the fenders look like on the hatches/coups, near the bottom where the Front bumper meets the Fender? Does part of the bumper cover the fender? Pics would be fantasterific.

I do know plenty about fiberglass fabrication. My cousin ran a little Club Shop for years, If anyone has herd of Vertically Challenged. It's where i found my passion for autos!

As for paint, i am in need of a WHOLE car paint job so~

So as you can see, I've much work to do!! lol. I understand that any fiberglass body kit is going to require a bit of work to set properly, That's a given. However, some knock-off brands are known for having something that has been design stolen and re-molded so many times that it's no longer a product for our cars... Some kind of muntant-Radioactive-celica body kit LoL-

But it's true, This is why i was asking about those 3 specific name brands, Or any others that come to mind. I'm looking for somthing that will sit right; Without being deformed or something crazy like that.

front bumpers= universal for 6th gens
sides= universal for 6gc
back bumper is the only thing you have to be carefull about.
-There are bumpers specifically for hatches (which the majority of people have, so that's what most manufacturers make)
-Then bumpers that will fit coups and convertible, but not hatch (more rare to find though)

If I were you, I'd look into splitters for the back. It is possible to get a hatch rear bumper or lip to fit a coupe/convertible, but it takes a fair deal of customizing to make them work (same thing with spoilers, different for coupe/convertivble vs. hatch)
