NOTES:
The VSAERO FRP HIR front lip valance gives your 1996-1999 Toyota Celica a clean chin spoiler look and fits only the 1996-1999 facelift bumper due to Toyota's front bumper redesign in 1996.
Product Description:
The VSAERO FRP HIR front lip valance is a full-width chin spoiler designed for the 1996-1999 Toyota Celica, fitting the coupe, liftback and convertible. It installs along the lower edge of the factory bumper cover and wraps up into the lower opening, following the contours of the facelift bumper for a clean, integrated appearance. It is important to understand that this lip fits only the later 1996-1999 front bumper and will not fit 1994-1995 cars. For the 1996 model year, Toyota redesigned the Celica's front bumper, changing the lower opening from the single large air dam used on the 1994-1995 cars to a divided opening with two smaller sections on 1996-1999 models. Because this lip wraps upward into that lower opening, it was shaped around the later two-section design, and the deeper single air dam found on the 1994-1995 bumper sits in the same space the lip needs to occupy, so the two cannot be used together. If your car is a 1994 or 1995 model, this part will not fit. The lip is molded from lightweight hand-laid fiberglass and ships in black gel coat. As with all fiberglass aero parts, expect typical prep work before paint, including test-fitting on the car, minor trimming or gap-fitting, sanding the gel coat, filling pinholes or surface imperfections, priming and final paint. Professional paint and body prep is strongly recommended for the best results. Hardware is not included.

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.
