bodykit Question?

[Vulcan2422]

Hey all i gots a question or two once again.

1: How long will it take for my bodykit to get put on? also how much i am looking at for it to get fitted and put on? I was quoted at 500 just for repaint and to fix it and everything

2:Will a 2003 blitz bodykit fit a 2000 model? If so how well would the fitment be?

What web site did you see this body kit at? I have noticed that most sites that sell kits ask you your car make and stuff.

e-bay actuion. Kid bought a bodykit and now doesnt have the car so the money he used was from his college fund and now hes selling the kit for 200. thats why i was wondering if 03 models have anything really differnt than 00 models.

[HiOctane]

I don't believe so I have a 2002

IMO no kit looks better than a blitz kit. I'm not a big fan of it, but yeah the year doesnt matter. If it's a fiberglass bumper then the fitment probably isn't that good, you pretty much get what you pay for.
I'm sure you know the blitz kit sits pretty low and once you hit somehting it'll probably spider or crack and you'll be throwing all that money in the garbage. If you really like the kit then do it right and get the urathene version.

$500 to paint the whole kit is a decent price. Look around a few local shops to get a better idea of what you should be paying.
Oh yeah don't be like greg and start a new thread about your body kit every week :gap: j/k
just buy anything you like! :thumbup:

[Vulcan2422]

well everybody calls me the new greg so i gotta keep out the tradition. im thinking about just putting on the side skirts and rear bumper untill i find the front bumper that i actually like. thanks for the input fab

[HiOctane]

Good luck on your quest!

if you buy a kit on ebay...the fitment will suck donkey balls...so you're talking probably 6-8hrs of labor just for the fitment...then you gotta paint...it shouldnt take anymore than 5 days to get the kit fitted and painted...

it wasnt an e-bay kit. i bought it from somebody off e-bay who sold there celi. from what she told me it is authentic.

So i picked up my kit today. I cant believe it. The thing is almost a perfect fit. just needs a little trim here and there and were good.

[HiOctane]

Hey man that is great. You got lucky I must say. Lets see it when you have it on your car and it's painted to match.

There's no such thing as an authentic Blitz kit for our car. It's just Blitz "style", aka replica. Glad to hear it fits well though.

i thought there was a joe? well it fits very good. im surprised. me and my brother in law did some work on it today. Only thing i dont like is how the sides are. u guys can take a look at it at the meet. Also the skirts are nice as well. except im not sure if they lay on the metal or just stand out a bit from it? tomorrow goes on the back bumper. cant wait. all in all. a good fit. Also it was for a 2003. The funny thing is the one i picked up from Rico or sincere on the message board. now the whole differnt thing is....rico's is MAJORLY low. I put on the new blitz Front today and its a whole inch higher for some higher. i dont quite understand it. Also Rico's was heavy a little bit but the one i picked up was majorly light. i mean i could put it on my pinky it was that light almost. well you know.

Nope, no authentic Blitz for the Celica.

Sounds like Ricardo's bumper is the US Blitz style Urethane bumper. The one you had sounds like the JDM Blitz style Fiberglass front, since you said your old front was lighter and shorter in height.
