i got the celi back a few weeks ago w/ the bodykit & new paint job. there's a pic on my profile (thanks matt). ill have some more pics as soon as i get my cam working (or get a new one). warning: always let a professional do work on ur car! a guy i work w offered to do mine for free (hes still going to school for it) & being that im broke i let him- just had to pay for the paint etc cost me round $650 (also had to get a new fender). it looks pretty good but there's so many little things wrong w it. the bottom lip on the front slides up & down & is rubbing part of the paint off. theres a couple of runs in the paint & one spot where he buffed it too much. then he got paint on my headlights & on the passenger seat. all of the windows, one of the tires, & the light on the spoiler have primer on them. part of the carpet & the passenger seat have a little spot of bondo stuck on em. theres places where the clearcoats got bubbles. the screw holding one side of the front on wasnt in good & came out & he kinda fixed it but now that side has a small gap. he just screwed the sideskirts in & left the screws showing & the area between screws sticks out a little from the car. also, he took out the metal bar thats the main part of the bumper.
also, what kind of turn signals will fit an invader bodykit? -Liz |

turn signals you can pretty much use anything any year celica turns will fit plus 5th gens and supras will as well you will most likely have to trim a little for any of these options |

id like to take this opportunity to point out that im not a man. yeah i know "i got what i paid for" but he did our boss' truck & his car & they both look good. granted he got paid for one & the other was for himself, so hed prolly want to do a better job on them, but i offered to pay him several times & he kept sayin no. i think he was tryin to rush w it for some other reasons that will remain unamed. also, someone else said his paint gun was messed up, but i dunno. anyway, what do u think of it from the pic?
