im trying to decide on what i should get. some freinds tell me that i shouldnt get a body kit because it doesnt fit perfectly all the time. i was planning on purchasing a blitz bodykit but then a freind also told me that those are too low n brake easily... i wanbted to know what does everyone else think on this issue, if you recomend lips or body kits... and which ones

lip kits are cheaper and slap onto the body, normally fit great. blitz kits have huge fronts and scrap and crack easily. all depends on your budget and desires

yea it zll depends on your budget and waht ur going for. normally kits are more flashy. lips are normally a bit more subtle with some exceptions to this. Lips are cheaper adn easier to replace if scratched. they maybe issues with fitment on bodykits. lips are cheaper to paint becsaue its less surface. I say if u wanna go out all out a kit and be prepared to pay. Now the blitz (depending on which version u get) is one of the lowest fronts out there. would not suggest a drop and blitz if you have bad roads or driveways. its allot to consider mainly becsaue of the investment into it so dont rush the decision

PS sorry for crappy typing, the keyboard sucks and dont feel like correcting anyhting ;)

What would the highest kits be? Other than the TRD I mean

Kaminari is fairly close to stock height.

Blitz is the worst bodykit in my book.

stock looks way better than Blitz.

veilside has one that sits pretty high. i forget the name but any pic u see of it it's on a silver celi. the other kit from veilside is the gt kit which is always on a blue celica

the ec-i kit, it's lowered in this pic but i think it sits kinda high. remember one thing though, veilside is one of the highest quality kits u can get but also one of the most expensive

If you're worried about bad fitment and kits cracking, buy the vizage kit. Made from polyurethane, and fits like OEM parts.

would a kam front bumper look stupid by itself if the stock grey side skirts were painted?
