Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance FLEX FIBER body-kit?

I looked at in ebay site that selling FLEX FIBER body-kits..
the body-kits are really cheap. under $200 for full body kits like Veilside
brand new. but the name is kinna funny. They called it SUPER SONIC style
they said its a REPLICA OF VEILSIDE. what do you think guys? and what is FLEX FIBER? what is disaventage of FLEX FIBER? anyone?

are you kidding me, 200 for a full kit?
i would prob buy it to build a life size model celica

right? hahaha and you know what? that werehouse is like few blocks away from my house hehehe I dont have to worry about the shipping($200). but they said
there will be will-call charge fee $65.. still good deal isn't it?
I think i'll get one for my baby celi~
but I worry about quality... its 2 cheap.. you know hahaha

where in cali you live?

Uhh it says right there its maide from 7 layers of "quality fiberglass"

dont buy it, because its going to crack on you

If it turns out being crap, you get what you pay for.

talk to se168us to get a good replica kit for a tad mroe then that but i dont think that kit is going to last you long.

I live in walnut, CA

ummm I def would not trust that site...dont go replica its not worth it

I c...so huh?...

might wana check fitment while youat the shop.. put in it front of your car and see what it looks like

yeah, it's always better to check with someone who was already the guinea pig whenever you buy an unproven product...i've seen horror stories of bad-fitting celica kits.

this does NOT mean it doesnt fit right..but it does mean you should take precaution.

just a reminder that not all replicas are created equal...

^^^^^ LOL!!!!

That is why you buy authentic! ^^^^ I'd be so pissed off if that was how my kit fitted.

lmao to people who buy replicas

my replica VS kit fit almost like a glove and i only paid a $120, so i lmao at people who buy authentic J/K even if i had the money i would buy authentic because if i were to ever mess it up i'd kick myself, but much props to those that can afford it.

many replicas do fit well. most of them are heavier though because they typically use more fiberglass (which is good or bad depending on how you look at it). if you can find a replica that fits good, then give yourself a pat on the back because you just saved a ton of $$ (on the other hand...companies that put out their authentic kits i think should make the $$ from what they make. one reason the cost of authentics are so high is because a company--like veilside--will put a lot of work, effort, and especially $$ into developing a kit..and a month after it comes out other companies just copy it and produce their replicas which keeps veilside from making $$..which means they need to raise prices. but anyway thats antother thread

and as i said earlier...many replicas do fit. but a lot obviously do not (like the pics i just posted). this goes with what i said earlier in another post about taking precaution with what you buy. find out yourself before you take a good chance of being screwed.

I wouldnt buy it! I just got over it and spent out the money i was saving for other things for a authentic kit

it means it was probably made from fiberglass weave rather than fiberglass matt (as many replicas are made of)...it can also mean it uses a higher ounce fiberglass (such as 4.7oz) but for $200, i doubt it. the weave is a little more expensive than matt..so if you're trying to cut prices thats one area you'd do it in.

Those pics will give me nightmares

Makes me think when visiting a fried at his garage a few weeks ago. The other guy ordered some replicas for his MX6. Actually side skirts fitted better on the Celica then on the MX6.

my opinion, i'll probably not buy another authentic kit.. i've gone thru two front bumpers and its too much $$ i found a replica kit to replace my old fudged kit.. got lucky damn good fitment.. i complain and i dont even have my ride lowered. expensive authentic kits weren't meant to be daily driven.. only way i reconsider is if i dedicate myself to driving less and more cautious, but that won't happen soon

puhahahahah LOL at pictures~~~ damn~~~ I dont want that on my celi.
I decide to get original Kaminari~~
but you know what?... how do I know its a original or replica?
what if they lie...

Thank you all~~ for great info.!!!!!
