You dont like the way it looks stock, or you dont like the TOM's? There are a few different lips floating around. What were you planning on going with?

i cut it in 2 to make it easier to throw away .

another lil update:
so heres what i want to kind of do.... not to crazy i just want to take away some of the curves that the front has something like these pics.



something small and simple.
p.s.
if i dont update in a few days its because im working alot of hours at my job but will look b4 going to bed.

Wat bumper kit is that on the orange gt4?

its not uncommon that people cut the same bottom portion of the same bumper and use it as a lip. thats a better idea than your first. Now will it go on and make a difference? I dunno because it just might go on exactly in the same place where your bumper is now and not look like a lip. You need a way to lower the lip and make it look like one.

appears to be some mix of custom Supra front end (aftermarket front bumper) and GT-Four. I am almost certain I have seen that on a supra before, minus the fog lights.

the middle gt-4 is one of my alltime favorites.... Turbotone..... yummy car

STILL alive............... really sorry guys for the long wait but I just moved and had real ton of stuff to do and the economy been bad and all but anyways heres it is soo far... the cardboard boxes did me some good and doing some reserch on how to work with fiber glass nd stuff so i know its simple for now but im only a little in it roight now...




MIND you im still working on it

uh oh...

You're definitely not afraid to try things...but are you sure you don't want to put more energy into your car in general, just fixing things that need attention?

Having said that...good luck with this and I want to see what you do with it.

I like where this is going, al right..., lol, no but seriously, it looks like its going to turnout grrrrreat!, but you are going to spend at least 50$ on fiverglass, atleast 1 layer, right? and a can of glossy red spraypaint WAIT on Pepboys/Autozone they have sprays that matches you car for under 5$
just giving you some affordable ideas...

I would use a heat gun and bend the bottom out, that would straighten the front easier than what you are thinking of with the cardboard now.

Why would you ever suggest such a thing? I'm sorry that the man doesn't have much money, but making his car look even crappier isn't going to help.

If you want your car to look good, why don't you spend the little bit of money that you get here and there and save up for REAL products. I'm not one to tell you not to make your own lip, but I'd be a damned idiot if I was going to tell you that's your first priority. Take off the V8 badge, get a decent paint job.. and stock or not.. get some freakin wheels.

I usually never suggest this option... but since you're on a tight budget, get the $200 paint job at Maaco and do your own primer and body work. You're going to blow at least that much on this front lip thing, and this would help your car MUCH more than this.

I understand you want to spice up your ride. But, make it a RIDE first before you try to spice it up. If you don't have the budget for it now, I'd suggest to just work on essentials until you do.

you have my attention.. keep us updated.

thanks for the sugestion SinisterSinner!


and as far as Casterol! listen bro unlike you! i don't have money to redo my entire car. I'm pretty sure that every one here would do just more than a lil paint job and sticker if we had tons of money. I'm doing this cause i like to do things on my own. if there's one thing I've learned in the past couple of months is that you cant depend on other ppl to help. REMEMBER the ppl your dealing with online COULD be scamers (I'm not saying all of them are) but would you drop 200-300 dollars on a lip from somebody you dint know??? listen over all I DONT CARE what anyone says about what I'm doing, I'm just having fun and its my car and i do as I please. (NO Offence)

And this is when I realized you didn't listen to a damned thing I said...

Never once did I said it was a bad thing you didn't have money. So before you accuse me of things, how about you READ my post first. I was actually being helpful. Imagine that. I promise, it'll be the last time for you.

thanks man! but the car only really needs a painy job and some wheels. i want to do all the work first to then paint the whole car as one, i dont want to paint the car then lip then this then that i want to do it all at once u know. but yeah ill keep updating everynow nd then

I like how I said the same thing he said but in more words, and he got a thank you and I practically got a **** you.

No cause he wasnt bashing me in my idea. i felt like you were bashing me a lil cause my car looks like crap, it may to you but to me id doesnt. you should of seen it way b4 when i forst got it. i put all these parts on it from a looooong serch of parts but they were expensive and here i can get some for cheep so in a way my car is put together by some of the guys nd gals here so that means there car look like crap when they had the parts? im not mad and like a said i Dont care what any one says im just having fun hey could you imagine what if some of these guys like the lip and want to buy it????? they only made a few lips for the 96+ bumper unless you redo your front end to get anothe lip.

Let's wait and see how it works out before anyone starts bashing.....

If nobody ever tried anything new, we'd all be driving round in boring stock cars
