My favorite looking kit is the Veilside but I think they run like $1500. If I had that kind of money, I would get a Veilside with that Tie Fighter wing =)
I dont know the quality of fake Veilsides but they are definitely more affordable. Affordable, that is, until you have to pay the shop to modify it to fit!
One Question for you Veilside owners, on the Veilside website, their celica front end looks sweet the way it kind of sticks out but when I see just the veilside frontends on ebay and other websites, it looks sooo much shorter. Are the fake ones dimensionally different?

Depends, on the way you wanna go.. aggresive.. clean..
If your looking for a nice change I would go kami.. but if you want aggressive look then veilside

If you want to use the 900 to buy and Paint it also. Kaminari and Veilside are WAY out of your price range. I like the Blitz and It runs like 550, so it'll be affordable for you. Just hope you get a kit that fits correctly.

I can't say for sure but it sounds like your car was hurt pretty bad if the guy hit you in the front and the metal in the rear is misaligned. You might wanna get someone who really knows about cars to look at it.
It'll cost around $400-$1000 to get a bodykit painted and installed.

What about Buddy club Dudes? I've heard is hard to fit but...it makes me sweat! Which online shop is more loyal to have this kit well molded and refined (mean...not a ****ty replica..) shipped to Europe?
And k2 rear bumper?? Saw just a few installed even at Japanese web sites...dunno if it's worth...

That's the same set up I have. Pm me for a hook-up on a Veilside Replica for 600 bucks and a place to get the wing fro 250. Use the rest for paint.

Cant argue with that! I'd swap to the "action package" just because of its fitment/quality.
kaminari since i own one hehe

I'd have to agree with Paidin...stay away from knockoff kits. You'll save money on the kit but lose it trying to make it fit. And I personally like the Veilside kit.

I'd have to say Veilside. They guys who painted mine had never heard of Veilside but once they test fitted they loved it. With the looks and the quality you can't beat Veilside.

If you're really interested in the Veilside send me a PM. Also, if anyone has a nice pic of their car with a list of mods i'd love to put it up on our website. Just email the pic over to david@mvpmotorsports.com

You need something on your backend. Especially with Kam front and Blitz sides(aggressive sides).....stock back end looks like a$$. Just my opinion.http://www.teamnightspeed.com/images/joecelica.jpg
