Question for Moscow 6gc owners, Why Moscow cars does not wear body kit? Options

[Magic]

A friend from the Celica Owners Club Ultimate in Japan notice that 6gc cars in Moscow are without body kits (lips,side skirts etc).Is there any reason for that?Cuz of the snow???

Thank you

[doGGy]

Cuz of the road conditions And maybe its just the owners... cuz there are huge tuning scene in moscow, and they build some ultimate cars too...

[SinisterWhisper]

Body kits and the cold don't mix so that might be another part of it

[popstar]

yeah Magic, snow is one issue

i think another issue for us like every one is cost
yeah there is alot of tuning over here Doggy, but more on local cars.... Lada's and the likes

also most of the 4th, 5th and 6th gen cars you see on the photo's have only apperared over the last year in moscow, imported from japan, so we're saving some cash now to do the body work..... i know i am ......

and then getting the kits, from what i've found is not that easy, again we would have to import them i think! an what with customs and stuff, it all add's up...

but please if your friends in the japaness club can help with sourcing any body kit's i for one would be really greatful

(lets see, but i think -RZ- will add something to this )

Thank's doggy
i'll have to hunt some web site's to find pix of those part, or you have any links i can veiw, so i understand what we're talking about here !!

Ok here's what I think:
fist of - the roads are pretty good here in Moscow which is not true for the rest of Russia so you can put on most any body kit on the market.
It snows like 6 months. Most of the times the roads are clean of snow, but when it snows really heavy you could have some troubles if your car is too low. It's not a national disaster for us here when it snows, we all continue to work and study, not like all the US states.
Some of the cars have nice bodykits and I'll try to prove that when I have the time to take pictures.
Cost is the major point here. Most of the nice stuff is available in the US and to bring it here it costs like $400 more (for a body kit).
It is much cheaper for us to bring something from japan, but theres the language barier. I would be very glad if I could have a contact whith some guys from japan that can talk english. Magic if you could help our club get in touch with japenese club that would be of great help.
Doggy, it's great that you offered your help. It's always nice to have people from different points of the world share the same passion for a great car.

Of yeah, almost forgot. The reason that I dont have any body kit is because I like to get out of town and go snowboarding in winter or kiteboarding in summer and that makes me drive to places where I would get stuck on a low car. But I really want to put sideskirts on my car so thats what I'm going to buy in the spring. Any ideas are welcome

who cares about bodykits, when most of you guys own gt4s. mod them and make them faster!
