The kit looks good, but yeah I can see the paint dosen't match. .

i hate geoshities

I still can't see the pics.
By the way, what happend to that double post you made that I was raggin on. hehehe

Looks awesome, I got a call last night saying mine would be delivered today, but Im overseas right now so I wont be able to see it until
summer

hehe i deleted my multiple posts. if you cant see the pics. dont click on em. copy the link and paste in new window. i dont know why we have to do that. i think joey has the right idea.

the links are fine, for me anyway
just one question, the grill mesh or whatever thats covering the hole up front, did you take that off the stock or did you have to buy it?

both grills on front and the one on back came with the kit. it was also prefitted. once again. afsmotorsports.com

oh, I bought mine from SPI performance, kit sent straight from Veilside USA so I dont know if they are included or not, but Im hoping they are. I didnt notice a grill in the back (rear?)

check picture 4.jpg it shows the rear grill. its kind of hard to see cause its soo dark. the back reinforced bumper can be seen straight thru the grill. im going to buy some black spraypaint and paint it black cause the silver looks dumb behind the grill.

How is the fitment of that bodykit??

everything is beautiful except the sideskirts. theres a small gap on both sides that they tried to fix with double sided tape. they didnt want to drill into my car they said. but im going back and telling them its ok to drill cause i dont want that gap there. other than that, everything fits really nice. they were impressed with the fitment of a replica. check the pictures out and tell me how good you think its fits.

Sorry about the missmatch paint. But maybe with time it will get better. If I were you Id just leave like that. What ever you do, do NOT drill into the car.

looks good bro. keep up the good work. too bad about this mismatched paint.

by the way, fixed your pics for ya.

Looks really good. I love that rear bumper

looks like the real thing! nice job!

ok guys, heres what happened. i went back to the shop and they deffinatley noticed the color difference. they got their paint guy to come down and he took me to his shop. hes going to repaint the whole kit for me, free. its going to take a day or two and lots of gas (cause i live in the boonies) but i think its worth it. why do you say i shouldnt drill into my car? its the only way i can have the kit fit snug against the side. it wont look too bad. not bad at all actually..

Damn, yer ride looks clean . Just need to redout yer taillights .

Bat-

question for you guys, doyou think altezza'a tails or red tails would look better with this kit on a spec blue GT.

i think these altezzas would look sweet if ur going with a blue and white color sceme.

i dont like clears. i used to when they first came out but now everyone has em, including riced out cavaliers, neons, camaros, etc. if i get new lights, im either going with the stock 03' tails or some gunmetal or red out tails.

Do you know the stock fog fit directly into the bumper hole or need any modification on the bumper or moving the fogs?Can you ask your shop for me?
Because I just installed my kit too and I was told the stock fog can not fit directly in there.

Thanks

just wonderin could you mix body kits. lets say the widebody gt300 fenders and a jtautostyle front bumper????? or will it not work because one is wide body

i told them i wanted to keep the foglights cause flip got the same kit i did and the shop took them off. ive also seen other celicas with my kit that had their fogs moved to the middle portion of the kit. i wanted mine where they are now. he said it didnt take any moving arround. so i guess they fit right in. i dont understand why others moved their lights tho..

this really doesn't fit into ne of the topics so as might as well just say it here for all those building show carz you might wanna check out www.autosportz.com [autosportz.com] they now offer a vertical door conversion (VDC) made by DECAH for the 00-03 toyota celica it requires minor body mods and retails at $1500 enjoy!
