USA Body Kits?????

I just bought a 1989 Tercel, and I am looking for a body kit for it. The car only has 45,638 miles on it so I think it's worth the investment. Can anyone point me in the direction I should go?

that's VERY low milage for any pre 95 car...

but, arent those the really squarish-tercels..?

if so, anything you can do will probably have to be totally custom..

Yeah, I bought it off my mother-in-law. I really couldn't pass it up. I found a kit for a 1989 corolla. Although it's a different model, I think the body styles are similar enough to be able to modify it to fit the tercel.

the 88-90's are not that squarish, its the pre 88's that are really square...
anyway, there is guy who put 91-94 bumpers on his 88 with minimal modding, front and back...
soooo it stands to reason that you could get a kit that is made for the 91-94's and fit it on your 88 with minimal modding

Thanks for all the suggestions. Last night after I signed off I found the kit for a 89 Corolla that will serve the design purpose I was looking for. I also found a hood scoop designed for a MR-5, a spoiler designed for a Mitsubishi Gallant, and a paint scheme that looks pretty hot. Once the kit gets in i'll update. P.S. I'll be posting pics in one of the other threads.
