Dang man... you could've gotten a Kaminari kit for another $70.00...

Unless you ordered it painted, you got ripped...

kewl man! I remember having the feeling of anticipation... waiting for the damn delivery guy to come in! :) $850 not bad... get it installed well! I remember my installation cost me more than the kit itself =/

in you all's opinion -- what is the best material for a body kit? (I began to wonder after the debate of what the blitz front came in). Thanks!

I didnt want a kam kit, I want to stay with urethane its more durable and half the price of fiberglass for paint and install.

The Kam kit is available in all Urethane now.... should have checked first. But, if your happy, then who cares right?

Your right. I like the style of the blitz front, and I wanted to get the sides and rear from the same place, min had the best price.

Man, you should have worked him down... at least got free shipping or something. Did you mention NC.Org? He usually gives better prices if you do...

Look at it this way:

Wings West kit = $550.00
Minus front lip - $150.00
Total = $400.00

Blitz front Ure. = $299.00
New Total = $699.00 + Ship/Hand.

For buying that much in parts, when it only costs him about 45% of that cost, he could have given you free shipping...

I'd be pissed.

hey Glitch, I got a TRD Elegant comin right now... i bypassed the wheels for a deal. Actually it should've been mine 2-3 months ago, but it popped back up.

Hopefully the crappy icy weather will be gone by the time i get it and put it on :)

not sure what version i think it looks more like the Japan rather than the us, it doesnt say. Im adding the trd style wing to the kit for a total of $1099 shipped, better price now. and I might have ww paint the sides and rear depending on price, my body shop wants what i think is too much.

ishido: cool, yea i hope the weather stays nice after this melts, how did your celica react to icey roads, mine did pretty good.

It did pretty well, but I drove it as little as possible of course. Didn't lose much traction on acceleration from a stop, and the rear was planted. I took precautions and threw in some sand bags though--
