okay, first off..i bought this kit on ebay from an awesome reliable guy named Allen on carparts255@yahoo.com (carparts255 "ebay")..calculated 11 business days from the time we tranferred funds..i opted for a shipping terminal instead of business address for shipping and it was the terminal's fualt of not notifying me that it arrived on the november 10th...today is the 16th...so shipping was super fast.. anyways heres the front bumper...the center piece comes unattatched..im guessin its will need to be molded on or attatched with body adhesive??..but the center piece fits really snug...and sidemarkers came predrilled..pretty thick layer of frp too...A++ so far

honestly bro i dont know...the sideskirts seem to be really snug...i have no experience with taking my bumpers off so i'll wait till the judgement of a body shop...to me, the front and back bumpers seem to align well..but of course that can jus be eye tricks...im sure there will be minor fitment involved...but by the look of it, when all is said and done..it has great potential to fit well...all ican say is "we'll see.." and cross my fingers

nice, hopefully it fits well and the center piece you said that isn't attached (diffuser)...that is supposed to be detachable...it has too different positions it can be set on. it is removeable.
where do you live in jersey?

ahh billy..
your car inspired me to get this kit..i live in scotch plains (union county)..but i work all the way up in dover...i was plannin on gettin a black stripe and black rims but i must pay respect to your car and not come off as a twin..so im jus gonna keep everything red with a raised hoodscoop...i think im gonna paint the diffuser black and have VIGG Designs in freehold vinyl me a red "celica" logo to put in center of the diffuser..i think thatd look cool...but by the way...with the diffuser, hows it supposed to stay on then after picking the position...3M??

hmm because of the replica, you probably don't have the holes that the real VS already has ![wave wave](https://celicahobby.com/forums/images/graemlins/celica/wave.gif) it has holes and bolts already, so that's that best thing to do.

thanks for the feedback guys...i might pull a loan from the bank i work for since i work in lending, so i can put this kit on sooner..hopefully by december, since this day got me all amped up...i actually purchased the ADR visions in Bronze, but i called the company and switched to silver..bronze wouldve been hott, but i dunno i jus had a feelin silver wouldve been better...tint, springs, tyc reds, d/s rotors, red calipers are on the agenda as well..any suggestions on spoilers?? TRD 3rd brake light, wingless, or veilside replica rsx touring wing(attatched picture from tspracing.com $240 with shipping)

the rims come in silver, black, and bronze...not sure about gunmetal, but highly possible...AZZKIKR has the black ones although its not in his profile...jus look at any rim website and do a search for the ADRs

I'm happy for you bro, It must be a great fealing getting your stuff in and ready to mount up. Thats a great price for the kit (if everything fits correctly) to bad its not pre-drilled. Good luck

zero:
i dunno...the wing wouldnt be authentic tho (why stop now, right? haha) ..but no one else bought that wing from the website i put down...it looks fuckn real close to the real RSX wing tho...but i dunno about taking another huge risk on a replica...at least i know replica trd wings fit well with the 3rd brake light..or i may go wingless and buy the VIS laser fenders like JBing's car (im really feelin his new setup)...
