k i started my exterior project back in may 06 by buying ss-iii rear and oem front extentions from chrisc, was thinking at the time all i need are skirts n a wing n bang im done...
turns out lookin for the right look skirts in aus took longer den i thought, about 2 months longer and the biggest pain ive com across in my life. found these nice lookin trd replica skirts for $350aus but after i took em home they wer like 2 cms too short and were the wrong shape. took the skirts to all the panel beaters around my area n the best price i could find to get em fitted wer $400. After letting them muck around with the skirts for 3 weeks <<< thats right 3 weeks, all they did was just lengthened it by the 2cms and that was it, didnt fit it to the car at all. After 750 bucks all i had was unpainted skirts that still wouldnt fit and was lookin at a further 300 for refitment and panting...so i was like stuff that im taking the rest of the kit to get fitted eslewer. in the mean time of lookin for another panel person, went out n bought myself the veilside replica wing to complete the exterior look. Also bought som black mesh and cut it out so it fits snug around my fogs. (for any1 that wants to get som mesh with fogs, this is wat its gonna look like) our celicas 96 - bumpers looks like a smily face without fogs not my car btw ![]() lol So ne ways,i found another place that would fix up the skirts + fit all the other pieces + paint them +fix all the dints and scratches on the car for $1400 (expensive but they wer the only guys left that would do the job. They quoted 1 week and after waiting 2 weeks i got it back... Finally after 5 long months and $3000aus..ive got 'My Completed Kit' ![]() so as i promiced here are som b4/during and after pics: begining stages with the unpainted wing sittin on the car ![]() same thing but rear view ![]() bumper taken off and black mesh fitted ![]() completed kit ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() tell me wat u guys think PS next on the list: nice phat 18" rimZ ![]() This post has been edited by Hongy: Oct 25, 2006 - 9:02 AM |

QUOTE Chanh55 Posted Yesterday, 10:24 AM Looks better than stock. But if you're asking what I think... I think the extentions and lip you have installed are supposed to give your car a clean and subtle look. They're not really supposed to stand out. That being said... that wing you have installed is out of place. I think a wing like that goes with a highly agressive body kit, not your set up. It's just what I think. yeh i was actually thinkin that, i liked the wing but i didnt like the rest of the veilside look cause it was too weird, so tahts y i got all them extentions to make it look neater and to keep the original look of the bumper. didnt really like the look of any other spoilers so was left with this one. guess it is abit of a clash of subtle and aggressive ay... i still have my old 3 post spoiler if i wanna change back, matter of unscrewing the VS one. ne ways thnx for ur honest feedback guys, much appriciated from wat u guys have seen of the rest of the kit, wat rimz do u think would match, any ideas? im thinkin 18" shadow chrome apache or somthing This post has been edited by Hongy: Oct 26, 2006 - 4:02 AM |
