I have some money i would like to burn on some exterior mods and i was wondering where i can get a Veilside style body kit that has very good fitment i have seen tons on ebay but do not trust that they will fit right and i do not want to have to have the thing fitted cause i dont wanna spend that much i just want a front end and side skirts for my coupe any suggestions or places to buy from?
Also if i buy a GT-4 hood will it not line up to my car. Again i have a 1994 GT coupe. Would it be hard to extend my front spoiler to meet with the hood? Just wondering if anyone has made one fit onto their USDM Celica?

P.S Header and spring going on tomarrow wish me luck!!!!!

the gap really isn't that bad at all, it would be an easy fix for a good body shop to make the bumper line up.

in regards to buying a kit that you will not need to have fitted, i dont think that this is very possible unless you buy an authentic Veilside kit ($$$$$). I have a VIS kit which was supposedly the best fitting copy you can buy and I still had to cut/graft/and glass it to make it fit. The worst fitting parts were the side skirts. I think when you plan on buying the kit you should just set aside some more money to get it fitted, maybe instead of the gt4 hood for now.

I've heard bad things about the e-bay kits, but I've also heard afew success stories. I'm suprised the skirts fit worse than the bumper.

I agree - i have the VIS kit too - u can see bad gaps on the drivers side - plus when i open my door it scrapes. Dont get ebay kits - they're not even polyeurethane. At least the VIS kit is fiberglass.
