i gotta admit, it does look clean. Man i love that rear bumper. i wish i could have one...
Well, The pics were way to blurry to get a good idea of what you were talking about as far as the kit hanging off, i still say re-form it if it's bad enough. Sorry to hear that you got rid of it though, you should have gave me that kit first

Wait....
This imagie just proved my question from page 1. The kit DOES infact lay over the fenders, and the rear quarter panels, right on the bottom 8-12 inches? i guess... -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!!

It didnt go over, that was where the original bumper was. Im pretty sure there were two or three bolts that went upward into the rear quarter, and two or three in the rear mudflap, or if you dont have the mudflat there should be two or three holes there anyway.

Does anybody have the "V-fiber" products like mentioned in the first post? Or know anything about them? Are they more durable than regular fiberglass. cause I really hate fiberglass. on every fiberglass kit/lip I've seen, after a few months there's always chips and cracks and it looks terrible.

u guys should e-mail nextmod.com and see if they'll start making kits for the celicas. i just recently purchased a lip kit for my IS250 and the front lip is made up of some kinda fiberglass that is extremely flexible and has alot of give to it.
http://www.nextmod.com/index.php?target=pa...p;page_id=media check out their quality....and their customer service is top notch. just a suggestion. I dont know if this is the "V-Fiber" material that 6strings was talkin about -------------------- Note to new members. Discussions such as the ones below are forbidden.

I now have dig camera, and just ordered my front vader bumper. Maybe I will start a new thread on how to install. Want to have three coats of clear to avoid those common chips earlier stated.

okay kids, it's time for me to interviene.
Polyurethane isnt the most flexible stuff in the world. It compresses. (it flexes into itself) like a F-ing dry sponge. Flexible fiberglass is obtained by using a SMALL amount of hardener in your Resin/hardener ratio. or with too much Fiber and not enough Glassing Syrup. Polyurethane is crap in my book. C.R.A.P. fiberglass with a bad (flexable) ratio is more likely to warp over time. from 2-3 months to a year or so.... Proper ratio is the only way to go. DONT WRECK YOUR CAR INTO SCHETT, also; is the best way to go.  i've been doing this for years, i may be wrong, by my experience tells me all that i care to know.  Polyurethane is great untill you get into a wreck. Properly mixed fiberglass is great; after a wreck, you can repair it for about $10. Flexable fiberglass is USELESS AND A WASTE OF MONEY!! poly is fine, just too expensive for my taste, if your are rich, than do it. If you are not rich than use a medium+ grade of fiberglass. NOT FLEXABLE!! Good luck guys. I"ve leared a few things about this V-FIBER and apparently it's crap... Sorry, cheap, but crap. Now; Lets talk about cheap mod's to cheap fiber glass... I got em... I'll be back with another post to describe how to do it right. With the worst of materials

I have the v-fiber zyclone front bumper and its pretty good for the price
. It came with a good coat of primer, nice mesh, even screws and anchors for your license plate. The fitment was good except for little gaps around the high beams. I didn't try any of the crazy stuff they say it can do but i have ran up on a few curbs while parking and it hasn't chipped, cracked, ect. I wouldn't say its crap at all; especially if you've never even seen it in person .
