honestly this would be great. im positive people would buy into it and i would defanitly get some things if you go thru with this. hope for the best thanks bro, or another way would be instead of showing the drawings or models I could just make a pair, if they dont like them I would sell it on ebay and that fixes the problem people usualy look for bargains on ebay, things for low costs but custom look, so I could also find costumers there, I was one of the guys cheking every week to see if a seller lowered the price or if new things were abailable, , I could also sell other things like backup sensors, I dont make them, but I have contacts that manufactures them and I can get my hands on them for less than 40$ brand new in the box and many colors to choose from most of the time when he is overstocked , my celica has backup sensors that I installed myself -------------------- waiting for LEDs for next project WOW recieved the LEDs, just tested a set up on a breadboard and I can barely see anything lol.

Positive ... it is 3dsMax ... and yea .. it is not for free. But that does not matter ... you can achieve same results with cheaper software (Maxxon Cinema, Newtek Lightwave, etc.) or even with free software (eg. Blender). I use Max, because I make my living with it (or better I was making ... as I don't work as 3D artist anymore).

Dude, I can buy projectors for other cars for like 40$ bucks, remove the projector from the lamp and I can make a housing and retrofit the one purchased and be able to make a projector for under 200$ and if I sell it for 350$ I would still be earning like a 150$ or so, so of course my products would be affordable woops, I'm working on a interactual model of the car as I draw it and when I take a picture of the car the sharpness of the image is better too and saves as .gif so the pixels dont mix and the drawing stay exactly how I draw them, but the problem was that I forgot to turn the headlamps on before taking the pic lol, I will share or show a video of what I'm working on later on That's the kind of thing I'd be really interested into buying a set... REALLY -------------------- |

QUOTE That's the kind of thing I'd be really interested into buying a set... REALLY i also had an idea of adding the motors and controls from electric mirrows and use them to electronically adjust projectors, or make automatic projectors that by the push of a button will make them point higher and work as high beams as well or maybe both, but the ones that would use the controls from electric mirrows woud be complicated to sell them to people that would have to pay someone else to install them and also they would be really expensive due to including the whoe electric system from the mirrows, but the automatic ones I could make themfor less than 30$ and sell the lamps 50$ more with that system built into it. which would eliminate the need of highbeams which makes the battery last longer and the car more efficient. also listend to your engine when you turn the highbeams on, it sounds with less power, so if im right it should let your car run more powerful than if you run wuth highbeams, i have to make a prototype 1st to be 100% sure and give you guys a solid statement. -------------------- waiting for LEDs for next project WOW recieved the LEDs, just tested a set up on a breadboard and I can barely see anything lol.

QUOTE Outter beams (Night lights): projectors with led strips (Audi kind of style) sorry but I dont use led strips they are too expensive and are made in china(cheap) which means that tey would have to get replaced within the 1st 3 months, i install american leds 1 by 1. I can make high quality Led angel eyes that look as good as ccfl ones, but more efficient because they only use 2 LEDs on each ring, i made a couple for my friend for like 20$ i sold them to him, but the company that used to make the acrilyc rods I used closed, so i need to get a supplier even tho i think i found another company that makes them,i just need to ask them to sell me some samples of the sizes they have in stock, so that i could buy the right size for the an design gel eyes and demon eyes. also leds on regular celica headlamps dont look that appealing on the night, because you wont be able to see them, after i design a replacement for the stock headlamps I could make them and show you guys , if you like it with leds, angel/demon lights and everything on them, I could make some for you all and add your suggestions too but for those headlamp you will need to cut off the little piece of bumper in between the lights in order to fit of course also i would make them fit exactly where stock ones go, that way you wont need that much modification to fit them. QUOTE Clear upper timing cover. Smooth cowl cover. Panels for the triangle where the ext mirrors go so that you can use motorcycle style mirrors. 1 piece radio/ shifter trim I could make most of those things too, but whats the upper timing cover?cowl cover/is that the black plastic that is next to the wippers?

The plastic timing cover on the right side of the engine is a 2 piece design- lower and upper. Most other major customized imports( Mitsubishis, hondas) have them available in clear. Yes that is the cowl cover

i voted yes you should but with more brands, reason being is because i don't think you should invest all your money into this without testing the waters first.
you can use 6gc owners as a way to judge your products and the response. I don't want to tell some1 to spend their savings on something and have it tank, even tho it doesn't affect me i wouldn't want you to go through that. I also believe that there is a HUGE aftermarket base for 'civicnation' so if you make some things for em you can cash in! I'd also like to see headlight replacement because i can't afford projectors and am sick of my headlights! goodluck with it! and I hope to see some things come out of your workshop =D |

change of plans, I'm moving to a new country in south america and car parts and cars are almost double what they are worth here on the US, so dont get discuraged, I will still go through with this, but the shipping and the suppliers will be my hardest things to get, I will do my research and find suppliers overthere from now on, that way when I move in and settle, then ASAP I will get started with this, but that will be maybe 8-10 months from now ,sorry, but also I will see how much they charge me to ship my car overthere, if its too expensive maybe sell it or give it back to my pops. and try to find a GT4 overthere if not Ill guess I will have to get a Ricer, I mean a civic which is really popular there and like a 94 civic is like for 7000-9000 USD!!!! so the celica should be around the same price maybe more because its really rare. and If I suceed on this, since everything there is almost double the price tag I will make an auto parts store and sell my own stuff there + other carparts sord of like an Autozone, or pepboys, thank you for all your help guys, andI will sure try to keep the price as low as I can to you guys even if I sell them double the price overthere, but I just want to help you guys out too.
