QUOTE (MaskedMan @ Feb 16, 2011 - 12:10 AM)  b22ri22an is correct. The difference is in the lower portion under the side skirt. You can modify them to make them fit, just like you can modify a hatchback rear lip to fit a coupe. Or modify a hatchback spoiler to fit a vert. Can it be done? Yes. Are they the same? No. Hood and bumper are the same from the hatchback, coupe and convertible. You will have to change your entire front bumper if you want a new smaller lip. Looking at your car, the fenders on your car line up perfectly. Actually, all the body work on your car is done rather well. Which makes me curious about something. Are you sure that the fenders on your car right now aren't just modified OEM fenders? The placement of the Limited Edition emblem looks spot on to where it is put on from the factory, and like I said before, it all lines up perfectly with the doors and the hood. Another thing that I noticed is that z3 style fenders for the 6gc do not look like the ones you have on your car. The vents on the VIS fenders are in different locations, and the VIS fenders have more vents in them on the lower portion. I am not sure exactly but i will ask my Brother tomorrow about the fender.. because .. all i know is that we bought this car stock (limited edition) and my bother added some touches.. I cant find the fenders anywhere in our storage just the OEM front bumper... So the fenders might be OEM? I cannot find the side skirts either.. and as we know the back bumper is molded... sigh...I was wondering what my car would look like with a Lip. Is te lip even worth Fixing up again because the left side of the lip is damaged (cracked) and was molded and now cracked again... What should i do about the lip? |

Hey so does that apply to the Hood and bumper also? And How are you sure about the Fenders  i would like to know!!  I was told to keep the Fenders.. Because the Left Fender is just slightly damaged... While the Bumper paint is cracking .. while the lip was fixed 2 times already.. and i was wanting to maybe find a different or smaller lip if possible? |

QUOTE (mkernz22 @ Feb 15, 2011 - 8:48 AM) You should definitely get the oem fenders because they won't crack like that. If you like the front and rear bumpers, just fix them up! As for the headlights, look in the stickies for how to remove the glass and clean the yellowish color out of it. It may seem hard, but it's a very easy process. Hey thanks for the Tip I would like to get New fenders... But my left fender is the only one that is damaged... How Much would OEM fenders be? I Kind of want to get rid of the front bumper... or get rid of the bottom lip but i am afraid of not knowing how well it would look like without it do you have any suggestions about front bumpers that will look nice with the back bumper that i have ? |

QUOTE (MaskedMan @ Feb 14, 2011 - 6:34 PM) QUOTE (njccmd2002 @ Feb 14, 2011 - 1:54 PM) tips from a vert owner. the body kit not my style. Go OEM bumper, rear bumper, then get oem splitters (add ons to the bumpers on front and back) Remove that wing and you can either put a 2 post oem, or leave it wingless.. rims will look nice with centercaps. Fenders are outdated, but if you like the, keep em.. Otherwise since fiber glass, cut fill and paste those vents.. All this is what i think and not necessarily what you sould do.. A clean oem look is nice and does not call the police... Those are good tips, but it looks like the rear bumper is molded onto the car. Something I would add, is if you did go the route of OEM front bumper and rear bumper with splitters, I would also go with OEM sideskirts as well. But hey, it's not like I have OEM parts on my vert either, so w.e you like is up to you .Sadly.....  the rear bumper is molded to the car... which i do not understand why my brother did that... (total big mistake on his end) I was debating whether to clean up the car a little bit and then sale it... because if i am correct... If the rear bumper cracks... I am basically screwed... As of going for "OEM" front bumper and side skirts... I have the Original front bumper.. but in my opinion it looks ugly.. I to stand out and look fast because so far I am the only Celica in Wichita that is different.. while everyone else just abuses their celicas I love this car so much!!! My First car man. |
