Does anyone know of a company that makes a Carbon Fiber version of the TRD (Action Package) kit?

We are in the process of making one in FULL Carbon Fiber, and I wanted to know if anyone knows that anyone else does?

Thanks,
Stephanie

IMO carbon fiber kits are ugly... too much of a change in color from the original paint...

How much will that cost?

Not sure yet. We just got the kit to prototype in today.

Thanks,

whats the point... i could always just get the TRD kit and paint it... not like the 10 lbs difference is gonna matter that much to me.
Posted By: Death Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 24, 2004 9:51pm
I'd buy it. TRD is one of the only decent looking kits IMO, and oldie but a goodie. lighter.. stronger.. now if you can make a one-piece underbody panel, like the stock plastics too.. then I'd really be all over that.
Posted By: vondutchguy Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 24, 2004 9:59pm
for the price this will end up costing you could prolly buy a wide body kit. if you want to make something with carbon fiber make some engine covers and such, plus dash kits that are affordable. carbon fiber cost an arm and a leg

I love the Carbon Fiber on the darker color cars. MMMMmmmMMM
Posted By: gtscelica05 Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 24, 2004 11:12pm
i want one!!
Posted By: veilsideffgt Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 24, 2004 11:29pm
its nice to see someone finally offering a carbon fiber kit for the celica. but please dont make the trd action package. there are so many of them out there.
Posted By: CarbonCreations Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 24, 2004 11:45pm
It's hard to please everyone. We offer other kits for the Celica, that are not TRD Style smile

Posted By: EuRoBoYGT Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 24, 2004 11:50pm
i think carbon fiber kits on dark cars like black or carbon blue will look nice thumbsup
Posted By: OBi3 Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 25, 2004 12:44am
rolleyes Hmm...my opinion is undecided grin
Posted By: Double_Ohh_GTS Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 25, 2004 1:25am
do the apr wide body, trd carbon fiber kit would look stupid
i wouldn't pay such a high price for the carbon fiber and get such a boring kit, no offence to all trd kit owners it's nice but it's everywhere

if people are gonna spend the money to get a carbon fiber kit it should at least be a more creative peice like a veilside kit in carbon fiber would be nice, kaminari, bomex... and so on.
Posted By: SinCity Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 25, 2004 4:33am
shiiittt it sounds like a good idea to me.. id hella sport a TRD kit with like carbon fiber wing too. MmM def. keep it updated
Posted By: Evil_Irish Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 25, 2004 5:14am
How about a "NEW" carbon Fibre hood for the Celica...something unique yet aggressive! JUST FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!! rofl
Posted By: psychomunkie Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 25, 2004 5:18am
So you can do a trial run on our cars... we'll sport them free and you get your advertising out.. Yay! rofl
Posted By: JBing Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 25, 2004 5:23am
the only 2 colors it might look good on is carbon blue and black just my .02
Posted By: Erick Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 25, 2004 6:16am

Posted By: Death Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 25, 2004 9:42pm

Posted By: xxmonkeyboixx Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - May 26, 2004 12:26am

*Update*

Well the Carbon Fiber TRD kit is still being made. We recieved a doner kit, and it should be for sale within a few months.

We recently have come out with one more great full Carbon Fiber Kit:


CarbonCreations Modena Complete Kit-8 pieces

[Linked Image from msprotege.com]

This kit includes the Side skirts, fenders, front bumper, Rear bumper, and pair of OEM style Carbon Fiber fenders. The Fenders are available seperately as well.

I will keep everyone updated with the progress of the TRD style kit. One of your members donated his kit to us, and I'm sure that when he gets his kit, he will be posting pictures of it.

Thanks,
Stephanie

its okay... not sure about puttin Carbon Fiber on that type of blue spineyes
Posted By: FloydianSlip6 Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - Sep 20, 2004 4:07pm
am I the only one that loathes carbon fiber? The kit looks good though, I think a lot of people would be interested. Personally I just find the whole carbon fiber look repulsive.

I like Carbon Fiber and Ive got a lot of it on my Celi but I think thats just too much for my taste ohboy Maybe it would look nicer on a darker Celica because it definitely doesnt look good on that blue. puke
Posted By: TimO Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - Sep 20, 2004 5:54pm
I think carbon fiber is excellent as a theme or a minor accent... but not as the whole thing.
Posted By: JBing Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - Sep 20, 2004 5:55pm
I hope for the cost the fitment will be better then this

Posted By: CaLiGTS Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - Sep 20, 2004 6:12pm
too much carbon fiber IMO... lip kits are awesome tho.. Im thinking about getting one for my kaminari celica thumbsup
Posted By: Sultan Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - Sep 20, 2004 6:15pm
it would look much better on black or carbon blue...
Posted By: TRdRida Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - Sep 20, 2004 6:16pm
I would be interested in TRD Carbon Fiber side skirts.
Posted By: ragingpaseo Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - Sep 20, 2004 6:21pm
wow, that's a lot of c/f. now there is a full bodykit, hood, fenders, trunk, wing = too damn much... eek
Posted By: celicat23 Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - Sep 20, 2004 6:36pm
The rear is nice, the sides are not nice, and the front is OK..

Looking forward to the TRD style kit!!!!!!

pretty cool...but i would have the Carbon Fiber kit on a darker color car...such as red/black/carbonblue

Posted By: superderk Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - Sep 20, 2004 7:55pm
i think it looks OK, but instead of a whole carbon fiber fender, i think it would look better with a carbon fiber fender flare. so that it ties in the sides to the front without sticking out so much. and if you did the same to connect the rear it would be much better. IMO

What he said...and some smaller sideskirts. Would help.

You'll find it in the gallery, as the "K2 bodykit"

u guys might not like it but i got a carbon blue celi and i'm loving that carbon fiber thumbsup
Posted By: RaptorGTS Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - Sep 21, 2004 2:01am
Personally carbon fber is nice but unless you can get a way to make if fade or transition into the normal paint, it is too much of a change from ,say yellow, to carbon. Not to mention that the price of the kit will be outragious. If i got carbon fiber i would have to paint it.
Posted By: initial_D Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - Sep 21, 2004 6:21am
ever think about making a Carbon Fiber Bomex kit?
Posted By: celicat23 Re: Carbon Fiber TRD Kit! - Sep 21, 2004 3:01pm
I sent a PM about this, but I guess it is of public interrest aswell, so I'll ask here aswell:

When do you expect to have the TRD kit ready for sale?
Do you have an estimated price? (about the same as the modena kit / cheaper than / more expencive?)

It's the K2 kit in Carbon Fiber they just called it the modena kit. Looks good.

its really nice work and all, but I think it looks like junk except on dark cars (black and carbon blue)
