That seems kind of pricey to me, but if the fit is perfect, then it might be a good deal.

Um...buying directly from VIS the front end ONLY is $400+. I ordered my Invader front end yesterday, so this is an up to date price, however I only pay cost so cut about 33% off.
$700 is a decent price for the ENTIRE 4 piece kit. Especially since its going to be including shipping. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Oct 2, 2003 - 12:20 PM -------------------- |

It depends on who you deal with and how you deal with them... It is possible to get the front bumper for cheaper than $400 ... *cough* $150 *cough*

How did you do it for 150? thats below wholesale...i got it for 275.
Granted you can work deals and stuff but I dont think he really has connections like that and 700 for a VIS kit still isnt bad. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Oct 2, 2003 - 1:41 PM -------------------- |

In my opinion, VIS is second to Veilside in the "Invader" styling. Make sure its authentic before you buy ne thing.

Do their kits come pre-drilled?

The only thing i dont like about the CBB kit (not to dog on you or anything) is that one part by the wheel where the kit is like joined together, thats the only thing that i dont like. -------------------- |

There can be no way thats a real VIS kit for 399.99.!! These kits cant be universal, I mean like how we have different body styles fog lights and what not. I would buy this thing now If it was a real VIS kit and I knew it would fit a 97 with out to much incident.

Kuya, ur telling me this AFTER i buy the new front end
 That CBB kit is one piece and the VIS kit is 2 piece, it doesnt have that "joining" that you see there. Neither does the Veilside and its also 2 piece. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Oct 3, 2003 - 12:09 PM -------------------- |

um... the only difference in the actual bodies is if its a coupe or a hatchback. and that only has to do with the rear. ST,GT, year, none of that matters. only difference in body will be in the rear if its a coupe(convertible has the coupe rear) or a hatchback. the front and sides of all 6th gen celicas are the same, so yes it is universal. i believe ViS even makes the coupe rear bumper for the Veilside style kit. Am i right about that Ray? and if i am correct, the veilside style kit does not come with foglights in mind. if it has good fitment and its cheap, i see no problem with buying it. it might not be an official ViS kit, but it is the exact same thing. in the end its all just a bunch of fiberglass, unless u get something authentic. |

Theres no coupe back.
And not everything is MADE the same. These kits have more or less layers of fiberglass. That means more or less lil scrapes and dings that will inevitably happen. I kno someone who bought a body kit and it was real cheap, and it was so flimsy that it could hardly be painted. Rule of thumb, you get what u pay for.

Ok so who here thinks the CBB kit is worth 500 bucks, plain and simple. I was sold on the VIS but Im real shaky on the CBB.

many people say that erebuni is crappy but to tell u the truth, erebuni has not let me down...fitment was perfect on the 404A kit and it was sturdy as hell...i scraped a couple times and bottomed out like twice but no cracks and no marks or anything...i would recomment erebuni over VIS probably

The way I see it...it all depends what you're going for. The ViS kit is a more close of a match to the Veilside. The main difference being in the rear bumper. The Erebuni rear is clearly a cheap imitation and is riveled only by the CBB front bumper which is definitely fake. You get what you pay for, let's leave it at that. Some people could careless if it's name brand or not. But the Veilside is higher quality and will be a better fit. Just my $.02
