I can't decide if I want the TCS kit or the Octane kit.

How do you like the kit? Is it lower than stock? If so how much and how was the fitment?

I'll have a CF hood, raised scoop and the car is and inch to and inch and a half lower than stock. So I need to know how the look and clearance will be.

Thanks a bunch.

Here is a Pic of my Octane front...only sits about a 1/4" lower than stock. It has fitment issues though most of the time.

It has fitment problems even after it's been fitted?

I wish I could see the TCS kit in silver and if someone knew how much lower it is than stock.

Some are sooo bad you can't even get them fitted unless you mold them, I got lucky w/ mine

the 2rd one is mine.... yes there were fitting problems because of the reinforcement bar a the front bumper... but the shop just shaved some off from the back and it fits great..

I took a look at these pics and decided to order the TCS kit and the hood scoop. Total came to $790.

The TCS kit is made to order. I'm gonna be waiting 2-3 weeks! :eek:

It looks like either the CF hood or front fascia cut is off.

Drag'nGT is your car lowered? If so how much and which springs are you using?

It looks really good...those cars in the pics need a nice grill...it would improve the look significantly.

nice except for the gaps on the driver side at the bottom right corner of the headlight, as well as the passenger side and the uneven line between the hood and the top of the bumper.

TCS is horrible...sorry but i got really bad ratings w/ TCS. Unless you got a good body shop who can help you w/ fitment...you're gonna have a bad fitting kit. But good luck with yours!

It's 1" - 1.5" lower than stock. I post pics when I get it all done.

Every kit I've read about has had someone say how the fitment wasn't all that good. If I wanted a kit that was a snap to intall I would have just bought the Kaminari kit. But too many people have that kit and I have only seen 4 Celica's with this kit and it looks very good and very clean.

The first version of the TCS kit had bad fitment. The company I ordered from even told me that the first version didn't fit. I was told that the company went back and altered the kit so that it wouldn't have any problems. The second version is supposed to go on alot better than the first one.

I actually like the line in the bumper. That's what really made me buy it. I don't think I would have bought it if it looked like that.

BTW, where did you get it for $350?
