Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Verside kit

how bad will it be to drive around with the verside kit on with the factory 15" rims?

maybe you misprinted it but r you talking about a veilside kit? i have one waitin to get put on and im gonna be using 15" rims but my cars not going to be done for about 3 months dam shop is busy

yea I meant the veilside kit..ummm damn that is a long wait...but do you know how low it is goin to be?

you'll be about 4 or 5 off the ground

As long as rims will be your next mod, you will be fine.

any place you guys know I can get a good price for the veliside kit? and how much does it cost total to get it done (paint and install). I just need an average price...

if you live in maryland hottint excessive audio...paint and install maybe from 700-1000 thats what i heard from shop depends on how good fitment is and what not

well put it this way, i have the veilside kit and im on factory 16s and i scrape. you can get over like speed bumps no prob and the only thing you will have to worry about is curbs and things like that. i always have to take curbs or inclined paveways at an extreme angle. i beileve i am 5 inches off the ground too on stock suspension. so i would suggest savin up for some rims b4 you paint the kit, trust me it will be worth it in the long run. i have my bumper soo scraped up in the front and on the sides they have scraped too. you get used to how low the car is and can scratch as little as possible, i hardly scratch anymore. but since i need to get my car into shows, i am now having to repaint my front and sides. which is expensive. so i would at least drive around on the 15s with the kit on unpainted to get the feel of how low it is, cause trust me its very low, then get it painted once you can get around with keeping the scraping to a minimum. but even with the kit being soo low its worth having it on the car, i get a ton of complements and it looks great. hope this helps

i have half the veilside kit and 17's and i still feel like my car looks funny with the wheel gap... and it doesn't seem low enough for me either... but i'm not lowering my car until i can get air ride or something cause my body kit is molded and if i scrape it's gonna break...

does your car sit lower if you have 15's verses 17's? i figured tire size would make up for it... (mine are 205/40ZR17 so they're super thin) i want to get 18's... will that close the wheel gap a little better or should i just get the air ride first?

would tein s techs be too low for the kit?
