[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Hi everyone ,

I am in desperate need of help, you see i got my invader kit in (veilside). And i brought it to my body shop guy, and he said the side skirts didnt fit, so i called the guy i purchased it from and he said it is fine it is just that, that particular kit "has to" be molded on. Whether he molds screws on or he molds it right to the car. Well...thats find i dont care but then my mechanic tried the front and rear and said he would have to take my front support beams off, which he said he "has never had to do"! and when i called the guy i purchased the kit from said on all the bodykits you have to take the support beams off!! So now i have a perdictament i have a kit with no one to install it, and my parents say to bring it to a body shop and have them mold it on, but i dont know what to do??? PLEASE I AM ASKING HELP FROM ANYONE WHO HAS THIS KIT!!! AND KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT INSTALLING IT OR OTHER INFO THAT WILL HELP!!!???

Thanks so much,
Ryan

well i just modified my stock bar for my kit. i cut the ends close to the frame at an angle. i was fine. as for molding man thats bs u sure u got a REAL veilside kit? i got a knock off and my didnt need to be molded.

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

He said it was a mold of a Veilside but otherwise was a veilside!!! just a duplicate he had made

[RedSunCelica]

yup i had the same problems with my kit. my body shop took off the front support beam, it was stupid of me to allow it but the car looked so sexy. after a while i took off the front and put the stock support beam with stock bumper back on. The knock offs which is what i have and what you have suck for fitment. you can either work around the front and see if theres a way to extend the kit to fit around the front support beam (lots of custom work) or take it off. my recommendation is dont take it off.

SO AM I F**KED!!!!???

[slipgun]

no, you just need to shave your support beam like x_itchy_b_x shows his. Everything can be fixed with some patience

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

I love this website you guys make every bad nightmare feel better hahaha,

please any more advice would be great!!!

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

HEY CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW MUCH...RUFFLY THIS IS GOING TO COST????!!!!

[playr158]

is it legal to shave the support beam?

[PhillyGuy086]

hey x_itchy_b_x what did you use to shave the ends of the support beam down? was it a belt sander or what. also after you saved it down did the kit just go right on over it?

[PhillyGuy086]

sorry double post

one of the best tools EVAR. ahha a saws all.

[stelica85]

if i were you i would take it to another shop and ask there opinion some one should be able to do it without molding it.

but molding it looks really good

[NEVERSTOP]

u can also just trim a little off on the driverside where the turn signal goes.. Its about a 1/4 inch square that you have to cut out and its a whole lot easier than altering the support beam... which is illegal btw

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Sweet, Thanks guys, oh and does anyone have ruffly an idea how much it will cost??? Thanks again,
Ryan

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Also i have another question, do they make a bolt on Invader kit? And if so who makes it and how much???? Thanks

[playr158]

so that lil notch that neverstop showed is all that needs to happen to make it go on?

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Yeah im curious about that two????

[KAMiX]

Sorry I'm being a bitch, but:

ruffly = roughly
perdictament = predicament (lol I think that's what you meant)
two = too

[hyp3rk1d]
