Well its one of the more common kits out there...as far as fitment depends on where you buy the kit from. Talk to a member named Boosted6g hes a great seller or try andysautoparts.com or cyberbestbuy.com

yeah like he said, it depends on where you get it from. the one i got fit so horribly .

[SHRiNE]

I was just looking on google. Does anyone know where you can get one cheaper besides ebay?

[celica47]

the fitment on a 200 dollar kit is gonna suck some major ass

Hey read the sticky about bodykits. It will help you out a lot. And honestly no kit that you buy even if it's brand name is gonna fit perfect.

yeah i think the mold has been copied so much that the shape just isnt the same anymore... but i still think its one of the sexiest kits out there still..just cause it was designed for our cars not just modified from another one...

[celiracer]

x2 ^ but i wanted more of an agressive look.

And honestly no kit that you buy even if it's brand name is gonna fit perfect.

i have to dissagree with that cause i got my c-one front from vis racing and it fit like a glove... i guess it just depends whoyou get it from... im guessing that if you get the kit straight from veilside it will fit like it was oem...

i disagree, i have seen the fronts on other cars, along with blitz and combats, thats why i bought a C-ONE off of boosted6g cause its unique basically to the celica, and if im driving down the road no-one will say, oh hey my brother has that kit.
i do like the invader, but its pretty common round here on a few cars.

BTW, i just looked at your pics, i see you went with C-ONE also, nice. it looks good.

thats why i went with c-one. Got it from VIS also. It fit ok. But not the best. The vader kit i had fit like crap gapped everywhere. But the c-one i got is way better.

I got the Invader kit from www.racerwheel.com and it was horrible the only part that fit were the side skirts and the front bumper is about 2 inches away from the headlights and the bottom piece doesnt fit until i bend the fenders or somethin, the rear doesnt go on at all i dont even know whats the problem, i decided not to mess with it ill just have a shop do it, but the amount of money is the issue.

[Sh0gunkid8721]

u get what u pay for...if u were getting a bodykit, dont be too cheap...either u pay more for the kit itself and have it fit nice, or u pay cheap for the kit, and have a bodyshop fix it more which will cost u more money too. either way ur gonna pay...its just the matter of which way is less of a hassle.

[mycelicagt]

but i paid $550 for a kit that doesnt fit right at all

[SHRiNE]

Hmm, Ill just talk to boosted when I need to. Seema like the only smart thing to do, cause mycelicagt paid the full price and his still doesnt fit. Thanks for the help guys.

[celiracer]

Ya thats what i'd do. And Ralph the only reason i said honestly no kit fits perfect. Is because the guy that is doing all my bodywork, bought a urathane bodykit for his CRX and he had to cut the sides, front, and rear bumper to fit. But i know my front bumper and sides i got from boosted fit fine.

[Ralph96gt]

it is true that a lot of kits dont fit...some look down right ugly and dont even look like it belongs on that car but if you go with a manufacturer that designed the kit for a specific car, like veilside for our celicas im pretty sure its gonna fit just right...of course then you woud end up paying like 1700 bucks just for the front..lol

[celiracer]

agreed^

I got a Invader kit from Boosted6g. Cool guy. Mines came predrilled already. Was from a demo car. PM him and see what he can do.
