WW kit

[swint2007]

Authentic WW kit. good? bad? anyone know anything about it? I'm about to order one, but I just want to make sure nobody has had any issues with it or anything. Thanks in advance!

[white02gt-s]

the "authentic" WW kit is an extremely cheap horribly tacky mock of the real trd kit. dont waste the money.

[swint2007]

but the fitment? how is it?

[Aznboi812]

get trd sides and rear and get the ww front. i have that kind of setup

[swint2007]

I know that it is a rip-off of the TRD kit, but other than that, is it crappy? I would rather just order the whole kit all at once.

[white02gt-s]

well the angle of the two little accent marks on the WW kit looks really gay and the bumper is very weak looking. at least the trd looks like it has a purpose. and the authentic trd kit flows a million times better than a WW kit.

[cocoajumpo]

i probably wouldn't get a trd front because it looks way too obnoxious.

probably your best bet. i hope you didn't order your kit already. hit up jintei if you haven't yet.

are you talking about the side skirts? I was noticing that. I would buy the trd sides and rear, but I don't want a replica, unless I absolutely know it will fit, and authentic ones cost too much

[white02gt-s]

yes i was talking about the sids sorry. well find someone who is selling authentic ones or someone selling replicas that they had on their car already and have pictures to show good fitment. i know its expensive but this is your car dude. it worth it to spend the extra money to do it right. like people have said before if you go the cheap route and skimp on it you could very well end up spending just as much as going the authentic route and besides you'll always know that sh!t is fake. its nice having that "this ish is the real stuff" feeling. but like i tell everyone else dude. it's your car and its your money so do whatever YOU like and whatever YOU can afford and whatever will ultimately make YOU happy with your car. fvck what anyone else says or thinks.

[swint2007]

I'l probably get the TRD sides and rear, but I like the ww front lip. the TRD front is not for me.

[Kangaruu]

What accent marks are you talking about, white02gt-s?

[white02gt-s]

he already asked me that kang. and i confirmed as he's asked that it's the to lines on the side skirts towards the rear of the side. get it?

[swint2007]

What's really the difference?

TRD

WW

[swint2007]

I'm not seeing too much of a difference there

[Aznboi812]

towards the end of the sides you'll see a difference.

[swint2007]

yeah, a little. but is it worth fussing about?

[Kangaruu]

You mean the lines are more noticeable in the TRD right?

Yeah it's barely any difference...at least that's what I think.

[swint2007]

same here. for the price difference, I'm pretty sure I'll just order the full ww kit. anyone aware of the fitment though?

[jdm_trd99]

it seems that the ww sides line are more smoother and the trd lines are more sharper more notiable also ww rear looks kinda short, just get ww front and the rest is trd, it will look better

[evil eye]

The rear also has shorter fins on the WW and the curves aren't as pronounced. There isn't that much of a difference, but I still prefer TRD more so.

[swint2007]

alright then. anyone want to sell me their trd sides and rear? :)

[white02gt-s]

well if you look closely at the sids the two lines on the rear of the sides on the ww kit angle up at a much sharper angle and it doesnt follow the natural body lines of the stock celica. the true trd sids plow much more naturally with the car itself. also as some have stated the diffuser-like fins on the rear bumper cover are longer and much more pronounced on the actual trd rear. plus the angle on the outside on the bottom on the ww kit also comes at a much more upward angle and it also points more outwards which as someone else stated earlier makes it not come down as far. also if you look closely just bellow the black line in the middle of the back bumper the trd kit come down a little lower there as well. so yeah it does sorta look like the trd kit. but for someone who is picky about the little details and wants everything on their car to flow well and not look like a cheap copy of a good product those "little" details make a HUGE difference. plus its more noticable in person. go to some meets and look at cars with these two different kits. you will notice a night and day difference with the two cars side by side.

[Loser_guy]

For fitment... mine fits perfect on the driver's side, on the passenger's side, the side skirt act's like it's just a little too long but I got it to fit and look good.

As far as differences between TRD and WW, I'm pretty sure TRD has a rubber 'gasket' that goes around the top. That would be the biggest difference for me because it would clean up the lines a bit, but oh well.

[iflabs]

alright then. anyone want to sell me their trd sides and rear? :)

Right here! If you come and pick it up.

[cocoajumpo]

you may not think it's a big difference, but in person you will see. the ww sides and rear aren't that great.

[white02gt-s]

thank you reggie. im glad someone agrees with me lol. in the pictures its harder to tell especially since its not a side by side shot with the exact same angles but the trd stuff is much much more refined looking. the ww stuff just looks tacky and cheap. the fronts are almost identical however. the main difference is i believe if i remember correctly that the ww stuff is fiberglass or fiber re-enforced plastic whereas the trd goods are urethane.

[red-gts]

just wait until u come across a used set. they sell for pretty cheap sometimes.

Wing west has been polyurethane for a while

however their sister company VIS is fiberglass and carbon fiber


im not quite sure about you guys but i like the ww kit lol and its a lot cheapER

lets see a whole ww kit 650 shipped + paint

authentic front = 250+ ship
side skirts= 250+ ship
rear skirt= 200+ ship

700 + Ship + Paint

[Agnu]

ahhh now i see the difference... Joe was right, the WW sideskirt lines aren't as pronounced as the TRD

[swint2007]

I want the TRD sides and rear, but it's the simple fact of finding them.

[Aznboi812]

hehe i have the same setup except the wing. its just takes patience in finding the sides and rear.

[swint2007]

Well, I found an amazing deal on an already painted ww kit, so it looks like that's what I'm getting.

[skunk2celica01]

Wow kinda shocked to open up this tread and see my old car used for reference pictures lol.

[celica_2nr]

justin just get the ww kit. i had the trd kit a long time ago. yes you can tell the difference between the 2 but its not that big of a deal and honestly who gives a crap. you'll notice sometimes that most of the responses are biased. is that bad no not really but its your car your money. do what you want not what others want. i think the ww kit will look good on your car and i havent seen one here in ok.

dang tyler i didnt know you got rid of your car...

[swint2007]

I am getting the ww kit. it's much closer to my budget, and it's already painted the color I need :)

Yeah Chris, I got rid of my car on memorial day....thought I told you....thats why I'm hardly ever on here anymore.

yeah very cheap and a real waste of money :rolleyes:

I have owned my WW lip kit for about a year now and all I have to say is that these kits are bricks! I purchased this kit from a person in New Orleans which got flooded in 2005, two years later after this kit has been sitting in a shed beat up looking, fitted just right onto my car.

Now lets talk about tacky, uhhhh no. Its the same damn **** but the front doesn't look like were about to pull off to the side of the road to do some mad tight FWD offroading IMHO the ww is a very clean looking kit.

Now this front lip has taken: 2 raccoons, 120 bottomed out curbs, and a boot and not a flaw here

irs already been established that its not the same. similar yes but not the same. not by far. and basically all i heard was that you are proud that you are teh lame at driving and are bitter cuz someone else doesnt like your personal style. he asked peoples opinions and i gave mine. wasnt out to hurt anyones feelings but if we are being completely honest i wouldnt spend two cents on the celica ww kit. however the ww kit for the crx is awesome. i love that kit. its a replica of the mugen front and while yeah the front is a tad different it still looks good. im not saying ww is bad quality or anything just that when it comes to the celica and my personal opinion it cant hold a candle to a true authentic trd kit. and youre right i hate the fact that the trd front bumper is like an inch taller than the sides which is why i want to get a front lip made for my car to make up that difference and go with the theme im going for. but in the end my car is my car and yours is yours. ask my opinion and you'll get it but that doesnt necessarily mean i want anyone to listen to every single word i say.

[swint2007]

I'm not leaning towards either kit. I like both. they are VERY similar, as has been established. I am going with the ww kit simply because it is more affordable, and already the color I need.

Trust/take it from me man...you won't be dissapointed with the wings west. I'm still trying to find a big enough box at work so I can fit the whole thing in there lol....hopefully I can find one tonight....gotta be at work at 4:00 so hopefully I will come home with a box

I have to find out how much the shop is going to charge me to paint my wing/scoop, and whatever I have leftover from that I can paypal you for deposit if you like. I should have all the money by the 14th; well, depending on how much it will cost to ship. just let me know man.

[ikhaffaji]

I'd say it all comes down to price; if you're going to be paying a crazy difference between authentic TRD and WW, would that be worth it to you? Which would you rather have, for the money? It's all about compromises.

[swint2007]

the ww kit is a MUCH better deal than even the cheapest trd one i can find, plus, like already stated, it's the color I need

[Tommy K]

Best bang for the buck I say grab it, however the TRD kit is not as thick as the WW one. The sideskirt lines are much more accented in the TRD than the WW.
