Is this for the coupe or hatchback...I remeber reading about this but I didn't see an answer if this was for both models.

[schmoko]

as far as im aware in the uk we only have this model of the gen6 which we call the coupe
so i know they wont fit the other type's e.g. cabrio or curren
but not really sure what they all look like at the back
am sure someone from the us will be able to clarify

[Akimbo]

The dual exhaust on that car looks good.

[NYCelica]

Do they have black color ? and how much is it and the Shippin?

[BenMMellor]

[schmoko]

like i posted on celica net
they come in shiny black special plastic which is specially made to take paint so no primer needed and easy to paint or you can just leave as they are
but i chose to get mine colour coded
as far as shipping and cost goes e-mail dave on the QC website
though he did say he would do a group discount if there were a few orders
and would only charge one lot of shipping for everyone

[Phat_99CeliGT]

Im really thinking about getting these soon.

Question though, would it be possible to get the kit in clears, but also get the red and orange lenses too??

So that it would be possible to try different types?

[hermo69]

I really reall really really love those lights!!!

Should we get together and do a group buy??!?!?!


HELLS YEAH!!!

These would fit the hatchback model right??

please say yes

[NEVERSTOP]

[ghostdog]

a lot better than any altezza's... nice work

[celicakid84]

yea i didnt really like them at first..but now i really like 'em... how soon till they can start shipping them out?

[Stealths95GT]

heh...at least it's something for the car...

[boosted_K2]

haha i just find it funny how everyone was really flamming quad conversions when they first announced the "afterburner kit". now everyone likes them now that they are being put into production. did your design change much? or whats the deal?

[bojangles_8686]

I like them, but I dont think I would spend the money on them that I could spend for a pair of seats)

[Sh0gunkid8721]

i like the way they look at nite...during the day its ehh...average but the nite time pics look great....how much would the group discount be?

[nicksceli]

i think they would look really good if they were molded into the rear. how much are they going for?

[Inferno]

I thought they looked sweet when they came out. But anyways, they still look good. Awesome!

[Sh0gunkid8721]

who's left a deposit for this so far??? the dude told me 13 people have left a deposit so far.

[bojangles_8686]

Only if they werent so damn expensive.

[Phat_Boi]

I thought those were f'n awsome the first time I saw them. I might order a pair but it depends on the price. Maybe some of us could get a groupbuy if others wanted them.

[initialdrift55]

i didnt really like them at first....but the more i see them the more i like them....depending on the price will i get one id love to try it

[NYCelica]

[hermo69]

im down for a group buy!!!

[Sh0gunkid8721]

if they dont get a minimum of 25 people to deposit 25 dollars, then they're not gonna get a discount...they need to lower the price cuz a lot of people wont buy it cuz its expensive

[subsolo_21]

Great conversion man. Thanks for posting this one. Its just what I've been lookin for.

[Pvc99gT]

actually look pretty good. might be a nice "future" thing mold em in. oh wait... no... spent tooo much money on exterior... need power... *gasp* if i hadnt already gotten all the other stuff and the custom painted tails this would be a nice option.

[bojangles_8686]

[FallenHero]

$300? Wow, they must like them... because they'll be keeping them

[initialdrift55]

im with hero! thats insane 300$ for tails.....they are nice but when u price them as high as jdm's id go for jdm's

[goku]

I dont think this should be more than the price for jdm's. I would buy them for like $200. I think that is fair.

[Sh0gunkid8721]

i just think they'd make more of a profit if they lowered the price. people would buy em for like 250 shipped compared to 400 shipped...but i think it would equal out at the end.

[schmoko]

The reason they are not cheap is because it costs thousands of dollars to produce such a kit
you are paying for the work and tooling involved

It's just like for example when you buy a blitz exaust which woul cost over $1000 (in the uk anyway not sure about US)
you think that it's stupidly overpriced, surley a bit of steel does not cost that more than $50 trade and labour not more than another $50
you would probably be right....

but why you pay so much is because of the cost of superior design that went to producing the prototype which costs thousands and then the thousands spent on the tooling and machines to produce that prototype so that more will be able to be made for the retail market etc etc..

with these lights for axample the cast alloy block of the prototype which the special plastic is moulded on that just by itself cost in the reigon of $4000
all in all imagine investing approx $30,000 to produce these lights and the risk you take for your business to produce this kit hoping that you sell enough to just break even before you even make a profit...
and you will understand why some aftermarket items cost so much money
aside for paying for the quality of the item and the materials to make it
you have to take into consideration the amount of research, time , labour etc.. involved to manufacture a retail item never done before.

another one, why are veilside kits so much more than say a cheap copy of exactley the same kit which retail's at a quater of the price of the veilside!!!
fibreglass which is stupidley cheap and moulds of fibreglasss cost peanuts
arn't they making a huge mark-up compared to other copy kits???
No because they were the first to produce them and they spent $$$$$$ developing, designing, making sure it fits perfectley etc... and they have to recoup that cost which reflects in the price of the retail kit
whereas copy company just buy a kit where all the work has allready been done
and take a mould of it and pour in some cheap fibreglass and voila.. they have a the same kit at a fraction of the cost...

Comprende people....

maybe now you understand a little about the price of these lights....

[Sh0gunkid8721]

i understand that...but not many people are gonna buy this kit because its too expensive...if nobody buys it, then they're not gonna get any profit off of this...BUT if they were to lower the price and like 100 people buy the kit for a cheaper price...if u do the math, they'd make more money...business and marketing...comprende?


p.s the reason why veilside kits are so expensive is because they guarentee perfect fitment and they are more durable than the other kits out there... and i got my whole body kit for around 500 dollars....398 for taillights is just a bit much...im not starting isht with you cuz i still appreciate the tails and everythin and i think they look cool...im just tryin to get my point across and to let u know why they only have like 15 deposits rather than 25 or more.

[CelicaSTX02]

Those tail lights are hideous..........looks stoopid on the Celi to me. Does not flow with the car well. I like the JDM tails much much better. To think they can't come up with a better tail light idea than those circles.

[FallenHero]

and with veilside, lets just be honest, you pay some extra cash for the name.

[VlaCelica]

Well i cant order them on the site can i ? There isnt a price on the site, it only says i can reserve a copy by depositing 20 pounds. And i agree with others, 400 dollars is a lot of money for a pair of taillights. I would pay 300 max (shipping included).

that companies gonna make a lot of money from all the customerse they're gonna be gettin

[NEVERSTOP]

I would rather spend my cash on the JDMs... oh wait.. I did

I personally dont like em that much (quad ones) but they could look cool with the right paint/kit... diffently would mold them in

edit: maybe if the photos where a little clearer and closer they would look better

[veilside]

Good point eliet, you are paying for what u get !!!

[Sh0gunkid8721]

[poix]

[Guest_Jason_*]

I don't think they are ugly, I like them. But they are too expensive, much better things you can do with 400$ + shipping? than buy those.

[x_itchy_b_x]

[celimanST]

Personally I think JDM tails s**k a$$ compared to these. No matter how you look at it JDM is stock just not USDM. These are unique.

Where can I get the gauge cluster?

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

OK OK OK. now there has been a lot of contraversy over JDM vs. The Afterburners. I think in realism the afterburners have more of a Euro look to them where as JDM are just Japenese looking. I forked over the cash for the Afterburners so i will post a pic as soon as ther are installed. I have a Black Celi. So you will be able to tell as soon as they are on!!! Thanks,

[Andason]

I'm wondering the same thing. Those are phat

[schmoko]

the dials are by www.skewer.co.uk

in brushed aluminum with white digits that light up blue
and holographig cleica and GT logo's
the surrounded i painted myself with chrome effect paint

BTW. shogun kid as i said before I am NOT selling them, it is NOT my company

and what do you know how well they are selling didn't know you worked for quad conversions

hope it makes you feel better now that you have had your gloat and made sure everyone is aware of your distain for them

we got the message before you prefere JDM's thats fine

NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO BUY THESE

but you dont have to try to pursuade everyone else not to buy them...

[celimanST]

Like I said earlier I don't like JDM tails so I am going fork over the cash for some these. JDM tails are a dime a dozen, it seems that everyone on this site either has them or getting them. these lights will definately not cheap but I think its well worth it to be unique and might I say just bas ass. I know saying JDM tail stink is considered treason in the celica world but really the whole point of customizing a car is to stand out from the crowd am I right, yes I think I am and JDM tail just look stock to me and don't give me this bull about they look better at night well I have seen them at night and there isn't any differance.

[initialdrift55]

im also willing to fork over the cash for these sweet lights....what is the final price ?

[schmoko]

[shid]

Would these fit on a couple/convert? :/ wish there was more info on the page..


Err, is it legal to get clear breaklights here in the US?

[PowellCelica]

JDM tails stink! There i said it....i really could do with out them. I love the look of my stock lights more then the JDMs. Actually I have nothing against them but nothing for them either! I guess i should just shut up lol. PeAcE

[Sh0gunkid8721]

[initialdrift55]

kool pricey but what else do you expect to pay from a full fledges custom piece. Do you know how much the shipping will be for 33165?
im still willing

[poix]

the tails are just too expensive. persoanlly i think the tails are ugly. they look like wannabe supra taillights. i dunno y sum ppl would want to buy them but if people liek them then its their business.

the thing i have to say is more sell requires lowering the price. $400, i rather buy performance parts

[KAMiX]

[celimanST]

[shid]

I like them, but I wish the diameter of the circles was a little larger...
