NOTES:
Give your 1996-1999 Toyota Celica a clean, classic look with the VSAERO FRP HIR-CAU kit, pairing a full-width front lip valance with a set of subtle side skirts. Please note this kit is designed for the 1996-1999 facelift front bumper only, as Toyota's 1996 bumper redesign means the front lip will not fit earlier 1994-1995 cars, and the kit does not include any rear components.
Product Description:
The VSAERO FRP HIR-CAU body kit brings a period-correct street car look to your sixth-generation Celica with a 3-piece package covering the front and sides. The HIR front lip valance is a full-width chin spoiler with swept-up ends that installs along the lower edge of the factory bumper cover, while the CAU side skirts run the length of the rocker panels to tie the front end into the car's natural beltline. The result is a lower, more aggressive stance that works for both show cars and daily drivers. Toyota redesigned the Celica's front bumper for the 1996 model year, replacing the 1994-1995 bumper's single large lower air dam with a divided opening of two smaller sections. The HIR front lip wraps upward into that lower opening and was shaped around the later two-section design, so it fits 1996-1999 cars only and will not clear the deeper single air dam found on 1994-1995 bumpers. If your car is a 1994 or 1995 model, the front lip in this kit will not fit. The CAU side skirts, on the other hand, fit every 1994-1999 Celica without exception, because the sides of the car were never changed during the production run, so the skirts you receive will fit regardless of model year or body style. Please also note this is a 3-piece front and sides kit only. It does NOT include any rear-end component, and the rear of your car is left untouched. All components are molded from lightweight hand-laid fiberglass and ship in black gel coat. As with all fiberglass aero parts, expect typical prep work before paint, including test-fitting, minor trimming and gap-fitting, sanding, filling pinholes or surface imperfections, priming and final paint. Professional paint and body prep is strongly recommended, and hardware is not included. Each kit includes one HIR front lip valance and a pair of CAU side skirts.

FAQ
Why does the hood require hood pins?
Aftermarket FRP and carbon fiber hoods require auxiliary hood pins because composite material expands, contracts, and flexes differently than OEM metal. Over time, this can shift latch alignment, and at highway speeds the reduced weight of a composite hood combined with aerodynamic lift creates upward force on the leading edge. Hood pins provide a mandatory secondary safety measure that eliminates the single point of failure.
Why Aerocatch? Aerocatch latches are the industry standard because they sit nearly flush with the hood surface — no protruding pin shafts. They use a spring-loaded, quarter-turn locking mechanism that clicks into a detented, closed position, giving both visual and tactile confirmation that the hood is secure. Unlike traditional hood pins, there is no separate R-clip or lanyard to lose, and the integrated assembly is available in finishes that blend cleanly into painted or carbon-fiber hoods. Originally proven in FIA-sanctioned racing series, they carry motorsport-grade reliability onto street-driven builds.
Hood pins are typically installed at the leading edge of the hood, approximately 6–8 inches inward from each headlight corner, with a solid backing plate on the underside. Never install through unsupported laminate. Professional paint and body shop installation is strongly recommended; mount all hardware before painting to ensure proper alignment and sealant application.
When reading the product description for one of the hood designs for an BMW F32, it says “Prep Work is Required”
