The C-1 has arrived!!!, Finally recieved my C-1 body kit, now just some questions Options

[Duke]

Howdy everybody!

Only took about 2 and a half weeks to get it, but the C-1 Body kit finally came. And boy is it going to look bada**!

Now i have some questions for anyone that has gotten ones like this.

Now, my front and rear bumper covers have this black coat on them, is that primer? or should i apply primer to them after i scotch bright it?

The rear bumper has no holes drilled into it, does anyone know of any posts or ideas on how to drill them? I'm thinking that I'm going to have take the original bumper and line up the holes.

And for the skirts, should I drill them just on the wheel well sides, or both them, and the under body?

Now i should mention that this is just temporary, because im planning on doing a seamless fiberglass mold, front to rear. But I'm going to just install them after prep and paint.

Heres the pics:

Front Bumper:


Rear Bumper:


Just the one skirt, cause i was lazy and didnt want to take a picture of the other. lol:




So tell me what ya'll think!

those side skirts and rear bumper are invader, not c-1. just to let you know

and the rear bumper and side skirts probably won't fit on a convertible without a bunch of work.

i think he has a coupe.. but they do ft convertibles. The oem dont.

the rear bumper might be an issue there...

[Duke]

the rear bumper and skirts are invader? WTF..... I bought them as c-1. son of a b****....

oh well, guess i gotta deal.

But yea i do have the coupe, no convertible. and i figured that the rear bumper was going to need to be fab'ed on. Thats what 3 years of auto body repair shop came in handy with.

I just haven't got a clue if I need to take that black paint down, or use it as a base for primer.

So any clue guys?

p.s.-im kinda pissed about the rear bumper and skirts. Gonna have to do some investigation.

If i take a picture of the tags on them, you guys know anything about deciphering them?

[mgnt232]

theres nothing to decipher lol those are invader SS and RB (I used to have the same ones) but the front is really what u want out of a c-one any way the hassle of returns on giant things isnt worth it usually.

[Duke]

yea, thats what im figuring. i was reading the sticker stamp on the skirts, and the last 3 letters are def INV, so invader....wtf...

and the rear bumper is PVRB, so no idea, but im going to take your guys word on it. well, at least i got one thing that i wanted. lol...

So im just going to polietly let the seller know that it was incorrect, and heck, maybe ill get something free..... or maybe just a pipe-dream. haha. we'll see!

So does anyone know anything about the black paint that came on them? the front and rear have it on the outside and inside, if that helps?

thanks for the replies!!

[mkernz22]

the black paint that comes on them is usually just primer

ok, primer it is then! i will do some sanding tomorrow, and hit it with some more primer and sand and paint. Good deal, thanks Kernz

Hey Bonzai, thats a pretty slick celica. And is that what the C-1 Skirts look like? Damn, if thats what they are, im slightly more pissed thats now what i got. ehh, well i suppose, we will see what the seller says monday. thanks Bonzai!

I think i will do a detailed step by step on the kit. thanks guys on the input.

[BonzaiCelica]

search c-one celica on google and you can see what the rear looks like. I'd suggest 96-99 oem sideskirts over the ones you have but to each his own.

that rear bumpers a veliside replica.

Isn't it nice when you ask a question and people just have to give you there opinion and never answer your question!

That is primer but it is suggested to go over it with self etching primer and a sealer primer.
I know you had questions on fenders, do you want to see some pic's of the vented fenders for a Celi? I can send ya some, just let me know..

[Duke]

haha, ill take some pics. But thanks for the info, i will fit them with at least 3 coats of primer!

Thanks
