Nice wide body. I don't like the fogs you have in the front though. Great color choice for it. It would probably look better with a spoiler of some kind.

front looks great, side vents are to "square" IMO, they could flow better, especially on top.

I wonder if its functional???

fogs - yup, i couldt afford the is300 after making this kit
vent - needed to change it up a little, because the other kits for the celica dont use the body lines that well. Most kits are just like, cut bumper, cut kit from another car, mold then poof... new kit. I like the swift celica, and brs autodesigns wide body... those are unique.
thanks for the feedbacks guys -=o) ....
OYA wing - got sponsored i think, for some wing... but no wing is wide enough for this car. Its wider than any celica so far -=o(

vent functional - yes ... the purpose for it is for wind, the car has alot of drag, with the style, we wanted to make it functional so we did. The bad thing that happend with this car is that, after we finished the wide body, we needed to rush it so vent closed the rear part of the vent that goes to the wheels. ... bla bla bla, hard to explain -=o)

Doesn't have to be too big, just flow with the kit. You wouldn't want one that extends out beyond the tails anyway.

There are way too many lines and different ideas going on here. I don't like it at all. Looks very cluttered, and the wheel wells have too "soft" of edges.

crazy j - true true, would of but forgot..owell
willyk - itll be changed if i get sponsored for a new one, for now owell.
Jesse IL - we all have our taste, but i personally dont like the fact everyone has my kit, so i changed it up. Action package is alright, trd same thing, but everyone has it. Thats my thoughts on it...
thanks guys.

reminds me of a 350z
i like it, but the side skirts killed it for me. the rest of the kit is nice and round/oval but the sides and square.

i like the kit but you need to change the sides and make the back bumper a little more aggressive, and going wingless looks good. overall good job!

My comments were not that it isn't unique, just that you have conflicting design ideas on the car. Its as if you have taken aspects of many bodykits that you liked and tried to combine them, resulting in a very cluttered look. I applaud you for trying to be unique, and I really like the paint, but your car looks like a bodyshop special.
As for my kit, it is old and predates the Action Package being offered as an option, so at one time it was rare. I am actually changing the wing and sideskirts, but leaving the TRD front and RMM rear valence.

wow, its really nice, but a bit too wide for my taste, and i have always been a fan of wide body kits.

Yeah, me too.
But overall thats a very nice car with a lot of good work done on it. It needs more color if you ask me. Maybe not graphics but maybe different color wheels? And it would look nice if you did the red inserts on the "celics" on the back. Just a few suggestions.
The car looks great!

I love the way this car looks from the front, just see if you can fix the fitment issues. The back looks fairly good but may be a little to wide. I do NOT like the exhaust as many others have said. I do not like the side skits either they are to boxy. Maybe if you some how followed the lines of the car with the sideskirts a little more it would look like 100% better plus maybe shave some of the wideness, LOL if thats a word, off of the rear bumper. Other than that I think you did a fantastic job you def. have my vote on originality and um I love the color!!! Keep up the good work cause I would like to see what else you can do!

alright guys, i really appreciate the feedback, yays' and no's, hehe. If i have offended anyone from my replies, that was not intended. We all have our taste on what we like, and thats what keeps this import industry booming. From this we at import image will determine price for this kit. Thankx again.

naw man, your looks just fine with out the lambos.
a+ for effort.
I like the front cept for the fogs. Not feeling the sideskirts at all. IMO i think u need skirts that better flow with the lines of the car. It's too blunt looking. Kindda like the kit was made out of lego's.
Diggin the color. good job. I like the rims, cept for the fact that they have all of those small little vivits. :/
Wingless looks dope on that car, but how come u ddint shave off the rear wiper + antenna along with everything else???
The rear is, i dunno. not feelin it too much. I think the car might look a little better if the rear quarter panels flared out a little too.
Anyways, those are my opinions. Great job on the effort though.
