i'll add from experience that a fiberglass nose on a daily driver is a bad idea. fiberglass is an amazing material, but it isn't very "forgiving." no matter how much plasticizer you have in the paint, a fiberglass nose will chip WAY easier than a urethane nose.

so, if you really like this kit (and $600 is a decent price for 4 pieces, especially if they are good quality and have all the proper mounts and fit looking "factory") and are willing to accept the paint chipping on the nose.... go for it!

oh and before someone posts about the "clear bra" which is available to prevent chipping... those are basically clear vinyl and they do work wonders. however, they are computer-cut to fit the STOCK car. there won't be a piece designed for a body kit. that means something custom and/or half-assed with generic pieces. you can pay well more than what you did for the body kit just to get the nose protected in this manner.

i can post before and after pix of my miata's vis racing nose showing it freshly painted and after 3 months of driving on relatively-clean oc freeways....

 

nice kit for 600, dude ill buy it!

 

pardon my asking again but where can you find it for $600? or is it a private seller

 

Yeah, I wanna know where you found it for $600 cause the best price I've found is $1050 + S&H, and that's not including the wing. And I agree about urethane being way better, but it's also WAY more expensive - is there even a urethane kit out for the tC yet?

 

I've seen it from 800-1300, I don't know why the price fluctuates so bad, but I don't want to buy it until I know how much it is to paint and install. That body kit is nice, it's the only good TC body kit, the OEM one is ok, but it's barely noticable, and the kaminari is noticable but not too overdone. I think it just makes the car look more like a celica, which can be a good thing or bad thing depdending on who you are.

 

this kit is not available for 600. if you read the all the posts then you would notice that the guy said he would buy his stock front bumper for 200. so if its 800 and he sells his stock bumper. hes only paying 600 b.c he doesnt need the stock front bumper anyway after the kit is put on

 

Yea I was going to have a sleeper until I got interested into Silver Carbon Fiber hood and hatch combo...

Anyways I think its probably one of the nicest kits out at the moment and if you can get it that cheap why not b/c when you get it installed its gonna be very expensive to get it done right...
