**Wakenthefallen** · 08-27-2006, 06:27 AM

I have a black 00 GTS and im starting my search for a kit. front back and sides.

but being as theres a million different styles..

if you have a kit.. poste me a pic of it. not that i want to steal your kit.

i just want some look ideas.

if you dont have a kit.. what kind do you wish you had.

I have a TRD kit. In the USA I guess it was simple to add the Action Package to any color. In canada they only chose 2 colours per year to put the action package on. So I bought my kit used, painted it yellow and installed it.

The NICE thing about it is: OEM fittment, Urethane which is durable.

how much was it to paint it yellow.. and installation costs..
what do you think is an affordable price for both?

I paid $750 Canadian to get the front bumper, sides and rear valance painted. I installed the whole kit myself so I saved some money there. Again, since it's OEM, everything fits perfect.

as a general note, body kits that fit relatively well are easy to install yourself. The only time you would need to bring it to a shop to install it for you is if the fitment is absolute crap.

if ur car has a decent drop, the TRD kit will look amazing. Adding a wing will just amplify the sex :)

**flylice13** · 08-28-2006, 12:55 AM

I'd say go with the Trial Body Kit. Personally, i think it looks better than the TRD body kit.

**Wakenthefallen** · 08-28-2006, 05:18 AM

well i can easily afford a kit.. but if its going to cost over 500 to just have it painted?
thats insane!!!!

is it really going to cost that much to paint it?

**flylice13** · 08-28-2006, 03:57 PM

**Wakenthefallen** · 09-05-2006, 04:14 AM

what kit did you get?

**Burrcold** · 09-07-2006, 04:03 PM

Yes post what kit you got.

**Red Falcon** · 09-10-2006, 06:07 PM

Here's what I want, it's an invader style kit:

I dont want to buy a kit until I can pay to get my whole celi repainted though, so the paint will match perfectly.

**flylice13** · 09-10-2006, 06:11 PM

^^ that's the veilside kit.

**Red Falcon** · 09-10-2006, 06:14 PM

Hmmm well that website said it was an invader style kit...o well its $580 off of here.

That is the best celica body kit ive ever seen.

**flylice13** · 09-10-2006, 06:19 PM

knockoffs, but it definitely is a decent looking kit. IMO, the front is too long for the celica.

**Red Falcon** · 09-10-2006, 06:20 PM

Ya veilside makes nice kits but they aren't cheap thats for sure.

**flylice13** · 09-10-2006, 06:26 PM

not at all. I know it's played out, but if i had the money and i wanted to go all out for a kit, i'd go with the APR GT-300 widebody kit.
