OK so long story short i got this car from my buddy scott and it sat for a number of months and finally got the parts and money together to bring her back to life.....kit was from that person who rips people off in florida, it was boxed up for the same amount of time so why not use it? the bumper and skirts werent too bad but the back VS was unsightly so i got the last pair of dcw trd rears from dustin and got the gtfour wing, borrowed the jdm headlights from my vert which is currently down....as well as the verts ss-3 style 7th gen gt rims....should be done sunday...

Hey thats one nice c-one front! But couldnt you of modded the crash bar than remove it. Always abit risky imo. Also i dont think those are 7gen rims. They come close but not 7gen well from the pics im looking at thats all.

I think that those wheels were like a dealer upgrade thing. The stock 7th gen Celica wheels on a GT looked way different. But I have a set of what you got (in chrome) and I love them anyways. Bought them straight off a 7th gen Celica GT. BTW, making some nice progress!

This is Polski's '99 GT right? Good stuff, glad to see it resurrected. Good choice on the kit as well, although I'm confused about you getting ripped off because a C-ONE front bumper is pretty damn nice. I'm gonna guess it's the Veilside rear bumper that you didn't want?

ya james (projectinprogress) the scammer sold me and 95celgt "authentic c-one aero kit" which was actually a ****ty AIT racing c-one style front bumper with invader side skirts and rear. The whole kit can be bought on ebay for $425 shipped. The front bumper actually has better fitment than I thought it would.

yes the front was almost a perfect fit, the sides were decent, but the rear vs sukked, and not my taste at all....
I forgot my camara today, so just a few crappy cell pics, needs to be sanded and buffed to look presentable...
