New Body Kit -- You Can Design It - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #2405 102 posts Started by Inferno
Hello there,

I got in touch with a guy from BodyKits.org,named Andrew, and I got to talk to him on AIM about a new body-kit for the 6th Generation Celica.

It can be ANY design you want, and we can create it with drawings and such. But, we'll need 10 people to get them made. The first ten will be 750 dollars. They'll need a test-car for about 4 weeks. The test-car will get a free kit. After the first ten, the kits will cost 980 dollars.

Also, they can make custom hoods too. So maybe 10 people would want a USA made GT-Four hood, so it might cut down on shipping costs. Or maybe you'd like to design your own. The price for the hoods is 450 dollars for the first ten.

So, if anyone decides to go with this, the kit and/or hood that is designed MUST be agreed upon by all ten buyers, they can't make two different kits and not have 10 people for them.

I realize that some people don't have kits or many people have the same kits because of the not-so-many american manufacturers/distributors for 6th Generation Celica kits. So, some of you may want this, and some may not. If you don't want to do it, it's ok, because it's your money. I just thought I would try and help out some 6G guys or gals that want a little variety.

So, let's get a little input, people. What do you guys think?
I tried to set this up before. I didn't get much interest so I gave up on the idea. I've got different plans for my car now, but I still think it would be real cool if you could get a new kit made for our cars. Good luck.
how about a Varis Arising II replica?? >biggrin.gif>

The guy went Idle on AIM. So, it'll be a little before I can ask him a question. I'll be sure to ask when he gets back, though. By the way, gh0st_d0g, thanks for the support, maybe it could happen this time.
I was just talking with Shogun on AIM and he brought up the idea that we could get replica/knock-off Extremor or Arising kits. I think they'd sell like hot-cakes, no matter if they are knock-offs.

EDIT: I contacted the guy. And he says, yes, they can make a replica kit. They will need the kit from someone who has it, or they can buy it and add the cost divided onto each kit. Either way, it'd still be less-expensive.

I would totally be down for a Arsing II knock-off and a GT4 hood.
the GT-4 hood with no bumper gap would be sweet..

Well, he said they can make replicas/knock-offs. All we need is ten people for each and he can get them made. So, you guys need to decide on what you'd like to get made. It has to be agreeable by everyone that puts their name on the list.
I'm interested in the hood. That could be a possibility.
He says that they can make a replica hood and the fitmet would be excellent.
I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE TEST CAR WHERE IS THE GUY LOCATED ?? BUT I WOULD BE DOWN WITH THE GT-4 HOOD AS WELL
Count me in for a Arsing II kit replica
ARe these kit for HB's only?
Would the $450 for a hood include shipping in the continental US? I have a feeling that I'm gonna need a different hood or to modify mine if I go with the 4A-GZE swap. >wink.gif>

New Toyota project coming soon...
the varis arising 2 kit is the one with the roof spoiler right?

is it this one here? click here please some tell me

cuz i would definitely be interested in that. if takakaira doesn't come through
igotta that is the varis extremor for the GT4.

Not the best pictures but check The Official Page for some varis pics.

I don't know what I did with the rest of the pictures of this car, but heres a shot of the skirts on the arising II.

Guys. I'm EXTREMELY sorry that I haven't replied to this thread. I haven't been on in a few days due to being at my cousin's house. Anyhow, I'm at school now, so when I get home and most likely get on the computer there, I'll ask him. I'll be sure to keep everyone updated. Also, I appreciate the responses. Coomer, I don't think the price includes Shipping, but I'm not sure. Either way, I think it's still much more cheeper than buying a hood from Japan. Let's keep the thread going. We'll need ten people for each thing.
So is this going to go through, I would be definately pay for and arising II replica, just need to know what turn signals, and what kind of fog light would fit.
isn't the turns from a 96-up celi?
I might take the skirts if they are cheap.
Ok. I took the moment to make up a small list.

This list is for the people that MIGHT buy an Arisng II kit if we get ten.

1. Sh0gunkid8721
2. Neipas09
3. Phr0z3n664
4. igotta5S-FEturbo
5. FallenHero

We'll need five more people IF these people are certain they'd get one. This list is in no way certain and if you want your name removed, just tell me and I'll do so.

Next up, a list of people that are interested/MIGHT buy theGT-Four Hood:

1. FallenHero
2. K2_Celica
3. Sh0gunkid8721
4. Neipas09
5. presure2
6. duck9483
7. Coomer

So, if all of these people are definitely in, then we'd need 3 more people.

Again, please don't attack me if I put your name on the list. They are in no way final and can be changed. I only put down people who sounded like they were interested.

So, let's try and get ten people, ladies and gentlemen. >smile.gif>
My question still goes unanswered. Is the varis for HB only?
i was wondering how much will the kits cost and the hood too?
i might be interest in it
definitely for arising 2 kit replica I will pay good money for that too, as long as it fits good, and isn't made from cheap materials!
Are the front curves of a hb and coupe different?

front and sides of the coupe and hatchback are the same. rear is different, but can be modified by any decent bodyshop.
It looks like if the price adds up right im in for both the Arising II kit and gt4 hood. But only if it will look like the pic hiflytsi has on his signature. You can count me in definitly if it looks like hiflytsi. :D
I updated the list.

Arising II:

1. Sh0gunkid8721
2. Neipas09
3. Phr0z3n664
4. igotta5S-FEturbo
5. FallenHero
6. ToYCeLi8

GT-Four Hood:

1. FallenHero
2. K2_Celica
3. Sh0gunkid8721
4. Neipas09
5. presure2
6. duck9483
7. Coomer
8. ToYCeLi8

Also, 6GC has a parts database. Anyone can go into it at any time and find out if a certain product is applicable to a certain body style of the 6GC (Hatchback, Coupe, Convertible). This kit is for the Hatchback.

Next question, st202gt, the prices were stated in the very first few posts on the first page. 750 for the first ten kits, 980 for the kits after that, and 450 for the hood.
