Best fit => ANY authentic body kit (not as easy to get as knockoffs and A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE)
Fits with *MINOR* fitment issues => ANY knockoff kit (easy to get and A LOT LESS EXPENSIVE)

Fiberglass is ok to have. Most kits nowadays (especially the ones made for a Celica) are made of fiberglass (knockoffs) or a combination of fiberglass and carbon fiber (most authentic kits).

I don't know what you've been told about problems with fiberglass, but I would like to hear them as I'm pretty curious what kind of RUMORS get spread around.

Also, you may want to consider using periods, commas, and other punctuations. It helps people know when you're done with a thought, sentence, and it's just plain easier to read/understand what you're saying.

Why, just so you guys can rip off my ideas? Is it a crime for wanting to be unique? Why must I reveal every little detail about my vehicle just to compromise my hard work and efforts? Does that make me an ass?

C'mon now...

I know that everyone on this board is creative in some way, shape, or form. Come up with your own ideas... and once you do, your accomplishments will lead to a very rewarding feeling.

Now calling me an asshole was uncalled for.

[jayi12-15psi]

if you made those sideskirts or had them custom made... thats fine

but a message board is to share knowedge, and I'm just looking for some nice skirts
so this is where I go to look for them, and other 6th gen parts I may be interested.

and when I see your profile sideskirts, I think "wow, thats just what I'm looking for"

then I think to myself, "maybe it says in his profile what they are" but no

thanks for your help.

Hey Jim... do a search for my board name and check out how helpful I've been... I've been sharing LOTS of information... but I don't see why I have to share every single detail about MY car... like I said, I want to be unique

But oh well... go ahead and think whatever you want to think about me... because of you and certain people's attitudes... I'm not sharing any more info about my car and the new custom mods that is currently being done to my car... that way, I'll save from hearing people calling me an asshole for not sharing information about MY car.

Let me ask YOU something: If you owned a family restaurant, invented a new SECRET dish, wouldn't you want to keep that within the family? Or would you share the same information with EVERYONE else?

So think about that... then think about how me applying this concept to my personal life makes me an asshole. Who's the asshole now, punk?

that is pretty rude, I dont know for a fact if your making fun of me, but if you are, be a man and tell me what you have to say in english, if not, sorry.

and Ray, I never said that you havent been helpful.
but you are ****ing nuts if you think that telling people what kind of sideskirts you have will ruin your cars originality

and as for your dumb ass analogy(sp?) you can't really compare your car or personal life to a business establishment such as a family restaurant. If I owned a family restaurant with a secret dish that was amazing, it would increase the profits greatly, so of course I wouldn't share the recipe.

your car is a different matter, I respect your car and how original your ideas are but by sharing what kind or sideskirts you have will not likely increase any kind of profits.

your car will always be original, and if I put the same kind of sideskirts on my car, it dosent matter, because we live thousands of miles apart.

look at how many people know about the combat bumper, but only two people that I know of on this board have it, are these two cars not unique because another person has the same bumper?

wow, and now you have taken down your pics in your profile
now nobody can help me figure out who makes those skirts
thanks alot, your still the asshole... punk

Everyone: Can someone tell me why this fag is having such a hard time understanding why I want to be unique?

Jim: True, you can't compare my analogy to what I have accomplished on my car. It's the *simplest* analogy that I could come up with to try to make you understand. But obviously you don't. You say that you would give away the secret just to gain profit, but look at KFC, Wolfgang Puck, etc. They've become really successful WITHOUT giving away their secrets. Now, by you adding in an additional factory... profit... that does change things... but that it's totally besides the point of the analogy I was trying to make.

You know what... I don't care what you think. I'm still not going to say what I did to my car. I don't see what's so difficult for you to understand about me wanting to be unique. And when I say unique, that means me doing something that no else has done or will ever do. Are you really that dense? How old are you? C'mon, please tell me. I really want to know why it's so difficult for you to understand what being unique is all about.

As for your question about the Combat bumper... read the following definition of unique:

u·nique (adj. )

1. Being the only one of its kind: the unique existing example of Donne's handwriting.
2. Without an equal or equivalent; unparalleled.

The reason why I won't say what I've done to my car is because of people like YOU... people who'll just rip my ideas... and make myself less unique. For me, it's not only a matter of being original, but also unique.

I'm done with this thread. Say all you want... because you're never going to convince me otherwise... come up with your own **** you copy-cat-wannabe-fag...

Ray has been helping out alot. He and a few others have alot more years of experience under their belt concering our Celicas and cars in general...it is very kind of them to share with everyone rather than be cocky little bitches about it. Back to his analogy, it is COMPLETELY relevant. Maybe he is doing a ridiculous amount of work to his car this time around to be different and to be recognized. Maybe in the near future sponsors will pick him up or he may win cash prizes here and there. It makes it much more difficult to win or gain sponsorship when someone has the EXACT same car because they can't be original. Granted there are only two kits available for purchase in the US for our cars, it kinda pisses me off when I pass some half ass Celica that has the same kit as me. I understand where Ray is coming from, with the limited parts available for our car, maybe he has stumbled upon something unique to his car...I'd hold on to it with my life. Jay, just do yourself a favor and go find something unique to your car...it'll be more power to you. Why would you want to have the EXACT thing someone else has anyway?

WoW!! Male agresion is so entertaining, I threw in a bag of popcorn so I could munch while I had all this entertainment. You guys are funny as hell, I could just see the punches flying back and forth... hehe, everyone needs to calm down... its a message board, not a competition. And I am with "Ray" cause it is his car and he has every right to withhold any information about any thing he has or knows of. It is his hard work that got him there...

Here, I came up with an analogy. If you were in a race with the same class car and you knew turning that one bolt, and turning that one thing to that one sweet spot, would you share the info or blow the other guy away?

[jayi12-15psi]

Ray,

I am not trying to be like you
I am not trying to copy your car
I am not trying to steal your ideas
and I am not trying to out-do you in anyway.

get over yourself

I just want a nice pair of skirts and I think yours look awesome ( wish everyone else could see them)

I guess I simply did not go by the text-book definition of unique.
But if you bought the sideskirts from somewhere, I'm guessing the odds are someone else bought the same ones, so unless yours are custom fabricated you probably aren't unique as it stands.

and as far as stealing your ideas, I have been looking for something similar for a long time,
and if wanting the same sideskirts as you makes me a "copy-cat-wannabe-fag" than does that mean that every one with lets say the 404 sideskirts a "copy-cat-wannabe-fag" just because they are not unique?

But I guess what yor doing is smart.

The mud-slinging stops here, I'm sick of us calling each other asshole and fag

good luck at your next show, hope you win and enter the successful ranks of KFC and Wolfgang Puck

-Your apparent rival Jim

[KAMiX]

aww c'mon... bitch fight! bitch fight!!

[Pvc99gT]

dude... those ARE custom skirts, so if Ray DID tell you where he got them, it would be some bodyshop in california that you have never heard of and would not be able to find anyway, and if somehow you did, and you wanted the exact same ones, you would have to drop the car off at the place and have the car at the place for like 2 weeks so they could make them (and it would prolly cost a few grand). Ray is psychotic when it comes to being unique, and he is,pardon my french, phuckin awesome. so what if he isnt going to tell you, i can tell u this much, those skirts did not come from any store. i believe i know what he did, but not gonna say anything, and Ray, that's ingenious! So yea, all in all, Jim if he doesnt want to say: he doesnt want to say and thats the end of the story. And thanks a lot from the rest of us who wanted to see Ray's car. stop bein so disrespectful dude, its not nice to call someone an asshole! didnt your mother teach you that?

[slipgun]

Im with ray on this one, if you found somin you love you shouldn't have to share it. *mind we like it when you do*However I see how he wants to be origional I have a brother the exact same way if he does something he wont tell you how just to be unique, hell he wont tell me and im his own brother. Think of it this way, hes making you think more, maybe you will run acrost something you like better. Just my 2 cents.... However I am jealous you have had 4 paintjobs.... hehe
