body kit selection Options

[Phr0z3n664]

was up peeps been a while since I posted
I just got my W2 form and now I'm prolly going to buy a body kit or cf hood w/ the money, but once again I am confused. I really like the invader kit, because it is aggressive, but I am really leaning towards buying the zephyr kit because it just looks so damn smooth... let me know what you think

[1bwilson]

zephyr all the way. Thats my plans after the turbo this spring. Zephyr kit CF hood (already have) 5sfTe (70% parts gathered) hammered with some coilovers (arospeed bout 3" down) All on a silver car

Almost brings a tear to my eye.

what side skirt is this?

[FallenHero]

Look at one of the older threads in here under "what kits are these" or something like that. Somebody in there posted that pic and said where it's from.

[forkee]

i think its a "lotus" side skirt

Extremor by Varis

expensive, but it comes in your choice of fiberglass or urethane.

[boosted_K2]

are you sure? those i believe are the Sport skirts from ViS.

lotus ones are more rounded

[forkee]

my bad

Go zephyr, I just bought mine from ebay for 400 bones. It came damn near perfect with just one slight defect. That combined with the roof spoiler I got coming is going to make my car look hella sweet . Celicas ROCK!!!

[miami305]

The zephyr looks really nice .. go for it .. if thats your black ride, its sweet.

[all4sho94st]

no its not, i doubt hed be looking for a kit if that was his car

[Phr0z3n664]

the celi in the sig isn't mine, It's what I want mine to look like, the only things I want to change are the rims to konig Imagines, hood to cf, and a roof spoiler =P

[all4sho94st]

oh i c anyways the car in your sig is nice.

[boosted_K2]

well if thats what you want it to look like you are buying the wrong kit then... that is either on of the hiro kits or its custom

[boibleu22]

actually K2, that is the zephyr kit. or front lip add on.. whatever its called. that aint hiro.

VIS Racing Invader kit go with the invader.....my opinion way better then the zephyr and sits lower too

[boosted_K2]

ok, you are right, damn now i got haha

[ghostdog]

the car in Phr0z3n664's sig is a ST Coupe with a molded zephyr kit, 18s and coilovers. I exchanged some emails with the owner a while back, real shame he decided to sell it. But can you blame him... imagine driving around with a car that low to the ground.

[Cragspider]

Ive got the Zypher kit sittin in my garage. I cant wait to get it on. She should be going on some time in march. Im also gona repaint it so thats why its gona take a little whlile. But any way I think that it wou want a kit and it to be more subtile then get the Zypher, now if you want an agressive kit then get the Invader.

[Phr0z3n664]

ok I am getting the zephyr front and rear lip, but I might wait and see if Neverstop ever makes those sideskirts with the brake cooling air ducts. anyways how much does the zephyr kit bring the car closer to the road? I don't want to drop it too much and then f*** all the bodywork up.

I am definitely going w/ the zephyr kit, cuz I don't want to have a total rice car
but I do have one question does anyone think molded z3 vents on a celica would be ghey?

[FallenHero]

Yes, GAY! Never get z-3 vents for anything, much less a Celi. IMO anyway...

[boosted_K2]

yea i dont think they would look right on the celica... the Z3 fenders are made for cars with a little less body curve, like that malibu in the pic next to the celi

[Phr0z3n664]

w00t! now the prob is selecting a spoiler. stock, supra style, invader, or hiro style. gimme some opinions
also I'm reconsidering rims going 18". no less than 6-7 spokes

the Konig Imagines are lookin' sexy now though.
So are the Tenzo R Passion 5's

[FallenHero]

You might think of getting a CF spoiler like CelicaRacer did. It looks really great. Also, have you seen those Tenzo-R Apex rims??? That's what I would get.

[boosted_K2]

ive heard bad things about tenzo rims, such as the bend really easily, if you are going 18s i def wouldnt buy from a company with that kinda rep

[Phr0z3n664]

aghh my car is p*****' me off
I've been leaking oil badly, and now my remote start is starting to act funny
sometimes I click the button and it runs a system check then tries to turn on but it won't, might need a new battery too... everything is going wrong w/ my car at once

*crawls into corner assuming fetal position, crying and screaming hysterically*

the worst part is Mardi Gras is coming up and I might not be able to show off the stereo *weeps*

[FallenHero]

at least you will be going to mardi gras.

[DonMagicJuan]

You want to look aggresive not smooth. Trust me. Smooth is old school or something. Just picture yourself being at a stop light with the saphyr kit and someone there next to you with the invader kit. They gonna look better cause they look intimidating. Hope that answers your question.

[Phr0z3n664]

OK this question goes out to any one has the zephyr kit and springs or coilovers w/ at least 1.5 in drop.

How do you get a floor jack under the car?

Cuz I know when I work on my dad's 2000 vette it takes 2 scissor floor jacks on the side of the car.

just want to know how I will have to go about doing this before running into a prob.

umm in Louisiana the only cars that are tricked out are eclipses and hondas, everything else is pretty much 4-wheel drive truck w/ 44" bogger tires, or slammed s-10s and rangers.

I think aggressive body kits are more for a car w/ real power like a supra, skyline, or silvia.

plus the Zephyr kit accents the car perfectly.

If I need something intimidating that can really whoop some a** I can always take out my father's Vette

[boosted_K2]

id hafta say the intimidator kit isnt soo intimidating... JMO

[FallenHero]

Yea, every time I see one, I have this strange urge to sing Pocos Palabras!!!!

[Consynx]

sing small words?(backwards though)

anyway, to get a jack under the car...i think ur only option it to use a hand jack till it's high enough to get the floor jack under

i have stock side skirts and a 2" drop...
to get under him it wasn't too bad...slide under the center of side skirt, then moved way up towards front well
but if i get the better side skirts...that's prob what i'd do

[FallenHero]

nono, Pocos Palabras was a song off of the FF while they were showing the chicanos at El Gato Negro. Sorry, I just think that song is THE FF song. I don't know, I just think mexican rap is funny.

[marcusk]

how can you overlook the gt-4 front end conversion? IMO that looks the best, you dont have to lower your car, and it looks aggressive as it gets.

[FallenHero]

It does look much better, but it costs almost three times what you could get a Vis for.
