Celica Vvti Bodykits

Celica Bodykits?

I have recently purchased a celica 1.8 vvti, im now looking at fitting a full bodykit to it. I have seen a number of nice kits but am unsure on a few things:

Will overseas kits offer the same product quality and/or risk of damage during shipping?

Are there certain makes that are considered better than others? (obviously veilside but out of my price range!)

Are there any wide arch kits available?

Is there anything else I need to be wary of?

If anyone could shed some light on these matters for me it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Basically, you get what you pay for... You buy a cheap replica kit, and thats exactly what you get - someone who tried to copy a good kit, and kinda mis-understood... You'll end up spending hours adjusting it to fit, or pay a small fortune for someone else to do it.

But then on the flip side, you can also spend a small fortune getting a genuine one...

Whether or not an imported kit will get damaged is down to how well the seller packages it. I can well imagine there are few quality improvements for getting a cheap one from US / Japan over getting a cheap one here.

Don't know about Wide Arch kits.

Personally I quite like the Carcept kit (Clicky example). Nice and understated, but still different enough from stock. Thats the only one I've found so far that I would truely consider fitting to my car as a daily driver car.

Good luck with the hunt, and let us know what you go for!
