NICE!! cant wait to see the spoiler on the car man!!

[aznxrussel]

awesome....hope mine come in today too

[Supersprynt]

I put the spoiler together and it looks pretty good, the rear extensions however, dont seem to be fitting as well as i would have hoped. I might have to have a professional put them on and mold them cuz there are soe nasty gaps. I'll take photos later.

friggin awesome

[chrisc]

I'm so sorry that the fitment of the OEM extensions is not prefect. Pls send me some photos is you all can. I will report it to my factory. Hope there is no problem on other parts.

It's gonna be slick. There's Curren tails on E-bay right now.

[Akimbo]

I disagree. I don't think people who 'don't know our toyotas' are gonna know one way or the other. Nobody ever thinks my car is a Celica. Like they're gonna be like, "Hey, you've got nonstock taillights for your sixth gen Celica couple?". Nobody will know, because our cars aren't overly popular. JDM tails, in my view, are a complete waste of money.

unless you don't care what other people think as much, and are impressing yourself more than others
sorry, my point of view is that i didn't throw $ out the window for some unique tails...anything other than stock

[Akimbo]

as long as you are pleased man, thats all. Like I said 'my view.'

[celimanST]

[Supersprynt]

Thats a completely subjective statement. I bought my Currens for ME, nobody else. I HATE stock coupe tails, i hate orange. So when i saw Currens i fell in love with them. With the JDM heads and tails i feel my car looks alot newer than a 94.

The fact that their JDM has nothing to do with it, i could care less. However, I feel like you've completely contradicted yourself with buying clear corner/marker lights. On a lesser scale, its the same thing.

yea, but other people would notice and appreciate those more than just the driver

while we're talking about tails, can ANYONE get a hold of those Gang's tail-light covers...
there only about $50 i think, and I would really like to have them here in the US.

[ghostdog]

if you're main objective is to impress other people with your ride, you got other issues to deal with man

[Wild1Sushi]

Hey all! Yeah I got my front and rear splitters yesterday. I think I'm going to have to get them molded on because there would be too much of a gap if it were just bolted. But I'm so excited!

[Akimbo]

[Supersprynt]

that trd wing is sick !!!!!!!!!!

alright, I just needed to get that out of my system

[Consynx]

are you sure about the gap?
mine has a gap when i held them up(for hatchback), but when i bolted them on there was only a slight gap on the very end(opposite side even)

if not, i think you might be better off shifting the bolt inside the wheel well other than adding fiberglass(will stick out from rest of car a lot)

[Supersprynt]

IDK its fiberglass, the way that looks its as if when i bolt it, it'll crack the glass.

Hey Akimbo, I guess the guy on ebay backed out...now I'm the proud owner of Curren tails. LOL Right a z n x russel?

[BigEdge169]

If anyone ever sees a pair of those on Ebay again please let me know. I really want a set and can never seem to find them. Is the name usually Curren tails, or is it listed as something else?

[Supersprynt]

[Wild1Sushi]

[aznxrussel]

[jussten]

hey, how much did the group buy end up being per person, i might be interested in starting another one, maybe for just the extensions, or for both...

[jussten]

also if anyone could post or send me some pics of some different angles of them on there, that would be awesome...

[BigEdge169]

There was 2 sets of extensions on it and the TRD wing. Here's a link to the original GB to give you an idea of what everything cost and its got a few more pics.

Also, if you are really interested in them now, PM chrisc to see if he's got anything left in stock. He said he was probably gonna have some parts, I'm just not sure what all he's got.

[Supersprynt]

Chrisc has followed up on the fitment issues so if anybody has questions I'll forward the emails he's sent me and some solutions to the problem. Its a basic issue with mine and shouldnt take me very long to get them to fit really nicely. I"ll let you guys know how they turn out.

[CelicaQT]

[BigEdge169]

Hey I had a copy of that email too so I went ahead and forwarded it to you.

[Consynx]

Don't start to turn on Chrisc for this.
He's fixing it! he's not just keeping things the way they are, and you got these Rare things for cheap. Mine rear OEMs were off at first, but i mean...nothing a little sanding can't fix.

[Supersprynt]

Im not mad at Chrisc at all...with custom parts you cant expect perfect fitment. He's talked to the manufacturer about it and emailed me often about it and things are fine. I think it'll turn out just right in the end.

[BigEdge169]

Chris has been really good at working through the problem with the OEM extensions. He's done everything he can to let us know how to get them to fit properly and look good.

[aznxrussel]

i put on my oem rear extensions, wings west mid spoiler, and stock side skirts on today and i must say it made a big difference on the car...as for the rear pieces, jus use some sand paper for the corners and edges and some double sided tape and they look great...no gaps

[chrisc]

[fastgt]

hey can i get a copy of that email, im waiting for my extensions and wing to come in as well
