WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! minor tweaks????????????????????are you kidding??? THAT LOOKS SO AWESOME!!!!! If I hadn't changed my plans, I would had made you an offer already lol, but I'm probably giving my celica back to my pops and moving to peru to start a new life on a country that i've never lived lol, I'm that wild lol. thanks to my feonce, shes worth anything, but if I find a GT4 over there I will not think twice to make the owner a generous offer for it , her sister is going to get me a job on a hyundai dealer which shes the president of the human resources and she already talked to her superiors about it, and shes going to get me a job either as a mechanic or a sales representative, and those are really good jobs over there which pays more than being a teacher or police officer ,I've been looking at some prices of cars in peru and I think my celica could be worth around 8,000$ cars are really expensive there and I think it will be kind of hard to adapt to the price tags over there snif . anyways man you are just astonishing!!!, I think we should have been brothers or something, because you like the sames things I do, and if I would have had the chance to make my front bumper, it would have been similar enough or just the same! its just like the perfect bumper! it has all the perfect things that I always look for on bumpers when I windowshop for bodykits! I just LOVE the semitriangular side vents!!!, you should match the rear like that or maybe put bigger vents but with the same or similar shape, so that it could match the front, I could honestly say"I wish I were in your shoes!!"

I'll be honest. I really had some doubts about the compatibility of this front bumper with our series of Celica, but I have to hand it to you that it actually is looking good and still coming along. Kudos!

Well my friend That is exactly wut im planning on doing I have a company name her in san anto but never was able to take it much further after i got car jakked lol then had an air tool explode on me and was out of comission for like 6 months (ripped my hand in half) oh an the nme is demonic interventions/ D.I. inc..... for short and I am going to be making a cupple copies of this front and rear in sme sort of carbon fiber versions later in about two or three months ooohhh and i was thinking of making the first vent tward the front the spot for a 350z blinker l.e.d not sure yet though might not depends im also thinking of cutting out the center like on the 7thgen and getting rid of th two cirlular vents on the front and angling the front a bit more im still undecided but thinking there will be two versions of this front floating around like the one you c now and the other more like the one in the first pic of the 7nth gen celi but again undecided lol to many images floating around in my head though

oooohhh an sin if you keep yours ill help you out wit some custom stuff lol so you would come from all the way on the west side of the country to the east just to help me????????nah jk, I know its forum assistance wich is highly apreciated but, give me some ideas to go not cheap but, thrift shopping for things lol, like brands of fiber glass coth types, satin?, resin, urethane? i have urethane rubber and plastic resin formula bottles which i spent over 71$ and ended up not using it due to not finding any mold release anywhere for a resonable price, and it dries white, not clear. but simple stuff like that would help me a lot. QUOTE MAKE A FIBERGLASS MOLD OFF OF THAT MO'FUGGER AND START SELLIN IT!!!!! Hell where you located? I'll come down there and do it myself!! That's some sweet **** man!! Keep us posted. I agree with D-man you have made the coolest bumper ever man, thats going to sell like hot bread lol, not sure if that sounded right but its an spanish expression lol, which Ill have to get used to spanish bc of moving to SA(South America not San Antonio lol) and about changing the 2 holes on each side I agree with you 98% about taking that off circles for fogs its the only thing that didnt matched with those nice angles on that kit. maybe an oval or semi triangle there would look awsome! also go with the LEDs check PM -------------------- 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.

Well wut can I say major changes in the works now... almost back to square one again decided drastic changes would have to be done to fix some major problems i kept seeing every time i looked at the front end so its a start sorry I know some of you are probly gonna hate it but like i said im making another version of the first just cleaning it up ill post pics in a cupple months of that one its gonna be cool ok this is only a rough version with some card board in it for mach up its gonna be good i wanted a place to put the intercooler piping where it could be seen so that will be the vents as the intercooler will be a major part of this kit which is y i cut out center lip for fitment

WOW!!!! now that cant get any better than that! you are doing exactly what I'm trying to design on my Super Celica Transformation plans!, (just the vents/ducts on the front) I had the same exact idea,unluckly I'm not at my house, but I will show you some pics of the new front I'm sketching. its awesome!. you will still need someplace to put turn signals! so the best I can come up with is that you make them out of LEDs from the LED seller I PMd you about, because you wont have to replace them in a long time. and also use LEDs because you wont have to alter much the design of your bumper, just measure the same distance and placement on both sides and drill some 5mm holes on the bumper in whatever shape you want, but its better if you take some time and sketch several different arrangements and than choose the one you think is best if you cant decide between a couple make a poll and we will help you decide
