eh, it looks badass until you see that fat ugly rear... I definatley woulda went with another rear option, something simple like a 404 rear lip... But all and all i think they did a pretty good job on the kit. Fitment looks pretty darn good, now all you need is a paint job that is all the same color and a black mesh instead. . . but those are all just my personal opinions....

What did they end up doing to the crash bar?

Ya i'd like to know if they left it on? and also how much did it cost you to get fitted and painted? i'd like to know so i can try and get my bodyman to help fit my kit.

The kit doesnt fit with the crash bar on fellas. The only way you will be able to keep your crash bar is if you cut it basically in half. Then its still a tight fit. I took mine off. Didnt bother me.

anyone whos seen the video of the wrx station wagon being totaled after crashing at like 5 mph without a crash bar would never run any car they cared about without a crash bar..

Yeah the paint is a little different but that is due to paint fade. I am planning on a paint job this summer.
They did a good job with the fitment.

The crash bar is taken off.. it would not fit with the bumper.

Welp that sucks. Guess my front bumpers not going on. My bodyshop wont paint or put on the kit if the crash bar isn't on. I was told to shave the bumper to fit around it. But i take it that wont work?

Shave the bumper? Like do you mean mold? If you mold it will look good. Sooner or later i will get the sides and back molded.

No i mean shave the iner side of the bumper to fit around the crash bar.

And not to steal thread but does anyone know if i were to get a GT-4 crash bar would the zyclone front bumper fit around that?

After I sold the celi the new owner wrecked the front end on the interstate. Damage wasnt that bad. I dont think the crashbar would have helped any.

I know. But the thing is if i want my kit on and my car painted i have to have a crash bar. Other wise my bodyshop wont touch it. I would like to know if anyone would know if the GT-four crash bar would fit with the zyclone kit on?

Yeah i was actually just talking to Chrisc about some riser blocks. They are a little expensive right now but soon i will get them and im not really liking the rear so i might change that as well. But as for now it will do... Thanks everyone for your responses!

everything looks good...im not a fan of the back end...but its looks good..i want that front end with the z-lip sides and rear..or the complete c-one..and is there any bumpers that fit with our crash bar on?

This is just my opinion...but taking the crash bar off is just retarded and i can understand why some body shops won't take it off cuz then they'd be held reliable as well. I would never jeopardize my well being for the looks of a car thats not even that "great." And ive seen many people on this site getting into accidents nowadays so that makes me question ur decisions even more. This is just MY opinion. Flame me if u want.

p.s. the front bumper looks nice though...u should get the c-one c/f hood to compliment the bumper

Yeah i can understand why some people would not want to jeopordize their well being, and dont get me wrong i care about myself as well. I actually did not know they were going to take it off untill i was there to pick it up and he gave me all of the old bumpers and stuff. Thanks the front is what i really like about the kit, but I think i am going to take off the rear and put my stock back on because i am not really likeing the bulkiness of the rear. I think im going to put stock back on and get either some splitters or a lip. What do you guys think?

Isnt it a 5 mph crash bar? Does it even help if you get in a wreck above that speed?

LOL i have no clue, but i doubt that the aluminum bar would do any help in a high speed crash. But then again its there for a reason...

I have no idea if it would help in a high speed crash. I just know my bodyshop wont touch my car if i take it off. So i hope i can figure some way out to fit the bumper over it. (celicaGT04) did you ever fit it up to the car with the bar on? If so how bad was the gap do you think? And how much would you think it would take to shave some of the crash bar to fit in with it?

Yes i did test fit the bumper with the bar on. But i did not bolt it on with it. I asked my body man why he took it off and he said its because it was a tight fit. I think that they might be able to shave some of the inside of the bumper if they really needed to fit the front on. They will find a way to make it work that is why they work there. If not then i guess like crismillencolin said get another body shop.

Well im fitting the kit myself. And i'm not gonna find another bodyshop because this is my old neighbor and cut me a great deal on everything that he is doing, also the best bodyman in my town. Not gonna go to a different shop and have them do a S***Y job. But i think i'll figure it out. A couple people on this forum have this kit with the stock crash bar on. So i'll get her done. Thanks guys and celicaGT04 your cars nice. can't wait to get mine done lol.

CelicaGT04

#55

Thanks man, i hope it all works out for you. Im pretty sure they will get it on without taking the crash bar off. Best of luck, let me know how it goes!

from what I recall from some chats I had back in the day you can just shave the corners of the bar to be like /-------\ instead of |-------| and that will make it fit with the c-one kit.
