So finally after having my kit sitting around my room for like 7 months, i got it painted and installed...the kit was orignally white..so i had to paint it black..but when it was installed the rubber lining was light grey, so i had to paint it black with touch u paint. it fits pretty well..i wouldnt say perfect..for a TRD kit. the front doesnt seem solid enough..like enough freeway driving would make it sag. i didnt do a very good job with the touch up paint on the rubber..so it looks kinda scaly..gawd damnit...i got it in white cuz toyotaguys.com was sellin the whole kit for like 700 dollars and at the time it was discontiuned...white was only color left.

i also installed the hoodscoop from everythingcelica..did anyone else find that the stock nuts didnt fit? my dad just got me some that did..and when i put it on, i was afraid to tighten too much...but was scared i put it too lose..blah..fiberglas..i could hear it almost cracking..but over all the car looks SOO Much more aggressive..i cant wait to get the TRD headlamp covers from that group buy.

Yeaaap.... just sharing..no one has had problems with their hood scoops cracking or anything right? cuz when i open my hood, and when the hood flexes, i hear a lotta uncomfortable noises from my hood scoop. augh...i wish they made one in urethane.

well the action package body kit fit like a charm for me when i installed it had no problems with it sagging or anything. it was my impression though that the grey rubber thing is always grey. even on celicas sold with the action package. mine was like that in the rear valence but my side skirts are replicas so they didn't come wiht the rubber thing .. i wish they did it would look better. i don't have a hoodscoop so i can't say anything about it. congrats with the new kit. i loved my car when i put it on. i loved it more when i lowered too =) .. have fun with it

i got the same scoop from RMM, all is well after four months of use, even now when i add washer fluid and it 's 20 degrees... i LOVE the action package and don't even look much at other kits... have fun turning heads!
