invader nightmares., is there such invader that fits? Options

[yarik83]

So you guys probably know I went through 3 invader bumpers already. Given the fact that I do all the work myself I can;t figure out how to fit the damn thing right.

#1 2002 version
gaps on all headlights (but perfect fit with hood and fenders)

#2 2004 version
same thing, however bumper looked tilted towards engine

#3 2005 version
gap on 1 hi beam and entire bumper is shifted 1/4 inches to left.. cause could not fit it otherwise.

Now haven seen all of your cars and really cracking down on my problem I have noticed that the reason why my stuff wont line up is because the part where bumper meets fender is too long. Meaning if i was to cut 1 inch off of both sides my bumper would look phenomenal and right where it has to be. Did you guys suffer through same problem?

PS
I know that it requires "professional installation"
PSS
I know that most bodykits dont fit without mods
PSSS
i have looked all over forums and internet and still no answer.

Help would be appreciated

I had an accident in mine and had the same standard bumper put back on through the insurance company supplied by toyota everything lined up fine except the high beam lights, you can fit your finger in the gap but the other lights are fine????????

I got mine from erebuni.net and it fit fine.

[yarik83]

well i got my 1st from cyberbestbuy, my second from ebay and my 3rd from chaser aerodynamics.

now regarding fitment. C3L1CA when you said it fit fine.. did you mean no gaps or what exaclty did you mean?

These are gaurenteed to fit like OEM. Or so it says I have had 2 invaders myself first i swear was made for like a celica truck or soemthing even the headlightholes were to big. Second one way better.

erebuni or groundeffects.com .... same company. good kits!

well i saw the ebay bumper before you posted, , then i drove to maaco where i got an estimate.. for my own sake (because i am very busy) then as he was telling me what he needs to do to my celi I had an epiphany: All i have to do is to move my lights out.. and not the other way around (where you move bumper in)

Think about it:
#1 remove my bumper and fenders (they are molded together because I wanted to see what it would look like)
#2 create a jig/bracket that would hold my headlights right where I need them-forward 1 inch here, 1 inch there etc.
#3 redrill all my holes on fenders to make them sit right and drill the top thing of bumper where it meets the bracket so that bumper and hood line up.
#4 voila it is done.

See every day you learn something new.

Pic of planned project is in my profile.

Also:

I managed to fit 225/45/18 michelin tires on my rims and have them on front. I am getting rears soon. it rubs only during turns (I am taking care of that by removing back side of plastic cover and mounting something in its place 1 inch back.

Well i got mine few days ago from erebuni and it just got painted. Lets see how it fits, hope it fits without problems. I let u know.

U might not be intrested but dont care. I live in finland and i think here is something like 2 celi and mine with that shogun kit on, so its gonna be one seriosly nice ride in here.

^ dude u had it painted before u fit it????

[C3L1CA]

Sorry to keep you waiting like that. By fine i mean highs are perfect and where the bumper meets the fenders is very good to. The only problem is that the passenger side low is just about an 1/4 an inch to short. Good luck with that headlight project sounds like alot of work

Nope. Of course we find out that those fits on. Have to wrote better so u dont get that kind of misunderstandings. What i mean was that i hope theres some easy way to bolt those on cos theres not any clips on the bumper.
