nice looking gt-4 look alike. One thing I am confused about. Why.... all... the... secrecy? I thought for weeks that you would do something like ohh I dont know a laborghini conversion or maybe some other fantastical supralesque/porshika/whatever mod.

It's simple why... ask anyone around about Toyota's bumpers welding... Than ask about welding two bumpers together like this:  This is not some fiberglass fake copy... this is made of original Toyota bumper materials!!! -------------------- No more replicas...

^ It was damaged, man. He had the excuse, LOL.
I gotta say that was nicely executed. I saw it, and went, "Hmmm, stock GT-4 bumper but has an SSIII bottom. Is my mnd playing games with me?"  It looks awesome. I always secretly wondered how thtat mix would look and finally I get to see it. Congratulations, man.

i had the same idea. i love the look of the gt-four hood, but i love my splitters at the same time. looks even more awesome than i had imagined. nice work.

lol... I would never cut new GT-four bumper
 . Thanks to bodhi I had that upper grille part from his crashed GT-four... but my problem is I just do not like that lower part of OEM GT-four bumper... dunno why but I just do not like it . I like that 96+ lower part with splitters ... however... honestly Rom and Gerald are right as well... that TOM'S lip would be nice .and agree... this mod is only for enthusiasts... common folks would not notice any difference at all

I was going to take it to the rubbish tip but Martin asked if I would cut the middle out and send it over.  It sounded like a great celica project, so I couldn't refuse    Martin, the finished bumper looks stunning, you must be grinning constantly! Excellent work and dare I say, I think it does look better than the GT4 bumper!... although I don't think I can take a saw to my black one lol. Absolutely love the colour too, can't wait to see it with the new rims fitted too!

I like that 96+ lower part with splitters Oh man - you beat me to it! I've always said the GT4 bumper just looks to square-ish to be on such a completely rounded car. I was hoping to do the same but I didn't know how yet and I don't have the $ to throw at it like that. Now I won't do it cause that's not right to do to you. I was gonna use the OEM splitters tho. That looks 100% better than any Celica I've ever seen - almost exactly what I want my car to look like except the color [which is beautiful BTW - I just have a thing for black] and the splitters.

a few times it has crossed my mind to put the gt4 hood on my carand have the grill vent thingy on my pre-96 bumper butthat would just look really ugly. after i realized how much i like the 96+ bumper i thought of how it would look and if it was worth doing... but i didnt have any money so i just forgot about it.
anyway very nice malpaso. best looking front end on a celica hands down |

If somebody else want to do this, I have a front bumper skin sat in my back yard gathering errrr.....rain, I dont mind chopping it up the same as above and sending it to where ever.......It was promised to someone else but after over a year they have never tried to claim it.........I will try one more time to contact them to see if they still want it.....if not its up for grabs (offers) + postage
