Hey I just sold off my 03 auto gts which had a wings west body kit , and found a 04 6spd manual no body kit and crappy spoiler. Im going to take the spoiler off (looks way cleaner IMO) but just wondering if anybody has gotten some decent aftermarket front bumpers without paying alot of money or going to cheap and having to custom mold it to the car. I like Veilside but damn sure is expensive, but fits perfectly. Any other good kits out there that are a bit cheaper but still fit good? And Im not going with a wide body kit either cause i ain't got a rich mommy and daddy. :(

Any input would be great

There are a couple sites you can get a knock-off veilside kit from. They call it the invader kit. Looks good on celicas, but crappy on most other models.

most people here are going to highly suggest you go with an authentic kit. Sure you pay more, but its all worth it in the end. If you insist with going with a cheaper replica, then pm Jintei. He has the best replica's i've seen/used.

having to custom mold it to the car.
I wouldn't custom mold it to the car. If you mess up the front, it's gonna be a lot more work to fix it. A couple of my friends have molded kits and they hate them because body work is a b1tch.

I think there are 2 different Veilside fronts, but I'm not sure.

There are a lot of replicas out there, but you have to be careful with fitment. Some brands have pretty good fitment, some have unbelievably bad fitment. Jintei (a member on here) can make replica kits. Send him a pm and he might be able to hook you up with a Veilside one, or another front.

If money's really an issue, but you're concerned with fitment, you should consider a used one. Check the fs forum.

And search to find which replica brands seem to be the best. There's a lot, but I'm not sure which are best.

You can find most of the fronts (all the good looking ones) in the Parts Catalog here:
