this shop carries a lot of great bodykit...basically for any car out there...but the thing i was confused about is that...C-5?...i heard of C-one but not C-5...the front bumper looks exactly like C-one so i just want to know wether its just a copykat or what?..the worker dude said the fitment is great and that its made by extreme, which i've heard of but not sure if they make c-one/c-5 kits...well any info would be greatly appreciated...

btw, i drive by rochester much as i go through to wisconsin....

there is a slight difference in price lol. I also asked about this front bumper and i beleive that the c 5 does not have the orange tinted fog-lights that are located near the center of the bumper. and make sure to ask just dont go buying out of your end hole without the spec's of all that come with the kit.

it had everything the c-one had tho...i checked...i know what a c-one looks like...+ i only want the front bumper not the whole kit...ill check it out again tomorrow after work...

i know what you're talking about...supposedly, they said they are discontinuing the c-one front and therefore making the c-5 which is the same as the c-one...if you look closely at the two front bumper, they say the c-5 has a little more definition to it...i think that is BULL...because i can't tell nor see the difference...it is the same if you ask me...they just want to make more money by saying it is now the C-5 and not the C-one...lying this and that...if there was a C-5, then the original C-One Company would have that on their site...people here in USA making replicas of C-one are trying to make more money by creating a new name for C-one bumper and asking for a little more money in that!!

ok ok ok...weird...so this is just a replica kit then?...what about the fact that its made by extreme?...c-one is made by c-one right?...thanks guys for the knowledge...

I know im probably repeating information but the Japanese company C-one makes the C-one front bumper their website is http://www.c-one.co.jp its wirtten in japanese and English. you might be able to find your way to see the kit. I can 100 percent assure you that the "c-5" (LMAO) kit is a replica or knock-off Japanese "aero kits" are very very expensive. Especially if you live here in the U.S. go to www.bulletproofautomotive.com and nav their page to the 6 gen celicas they have the c-one front bumper there around $600-$700 dollars. now why would c-one drop the price of their bumper to ~$200 dont make since at all its a knock off man. If you decide to buy make sure you take the necessary precautions cause extreme is prob some local company trying to make money off of c-one's design. Similar to VIS and how they make replica jdm aero kits. Humm i thought that was copyright infringement or something like that.

Hey you got your projectors working properly? When i order mine you can help adjust mine too. Yep save your money for that 3rd gen 3s and be patient. Don't be like me. I was looking for the 3rd gen 3s too but couldn't find any so decided to buy the st185 RC motor and guess what? After i bought that a st205 clip pops up for the same amount of money i bought my st185 rc motor. I was like BS!!!!! Well my motor is in the shop right now and currently working on buying the a st205 C/F hood.

actually the c-one kit will cost you lots lots more than one grand
Front bumper $748
Rear bumper $528
Side Skirts $638
not to even mention the shipping. you gotta be rollin in some serious dough to pul that one off. but hats off to the first person who actually has a full c-one kit installed personally id like to see someone get a varis araising kit.

[Guest_TurbO_*]

yeah i have the highs but my low beam projectors are supposed to come in sometime next week..if only i wasn't married i'd have everything by now...dang it!...hehe



yeah i was gonna buy the rc but naw...want a lil' more power and newer engine..yeah if u need help just ask..
btw, if u have no experience taking the front bumper off, it'll be a pain in the ass...for first timers...took me 5 hours...hehehe i think i pulled out 16 screws and now left with 10...woops...

Also when you buy the nock off brand the 6th gen turns have to be custom fitted. Other wise you can get 5th gen turns and they fit better then the 6th gen ones do. the actual c-one kit used the GT-4 turns.
