today i got around to fitting the splitter, for a starter, it was a great quality finish, but was not a simple fit, first had to hack the top lip off, as the splitter was for a preface 202, then had to chop away some of the corners, and to top it off, had to shorten the whole length by 8 mm as after chopping the lip off to fit, it sat a bit higher and was too long....anywayz here's the pics

the cut and shut job



Right side fog light gap



Left side Fog light gap



and the corners






the corners wrap around perfectly, but the middle bit is really bugging me, i'll take some proper picslater and post, personally i think it was a good laugh for a tenner,



DAY 2:

well, today turned out to be better than last night.....when i went to halfords in the morning, i noticed the lip wasn't exactly "spot on" :angry:




got some body filler, came back and hacked the lip again



to make sure i get a straight finish this time...



when i removed the brackets, the trick had worked and the lip was now sitting as i wanted it to



fiberglassed the huge gap, and sanded down the excess



now that the lip was nice and straight, i decided to re-adjust the foglight corners



very niceee.......I likeeee... :thumbs:

than i noticed that the silicone from the TRD splitters wasn't letting the lip sit flush with the wings....



so



than used bodyfiller to fill the odd bumps here and there.....hardly any filler was left over after sanding



once sanded down, i used G5 to take the scratched from the bumper out, used some black paint i had to temporarily cover the filler



the finish is nothing less than professional



now just going to paint it red and we are done

A YEAR Later

since am gonna be painting the lip, though it'd make it fit a bit better, so broke the fiberglass kit out again





still got some sanding to do and then some body filler before painting, after i get bored with the lip i'll be doing the TRD bumper chop :twisted:

remember the gaps between the lip and the bumper just under the indicators ??

well...........







fit is 100% spot on, will be painting it tomorrow

painted the lip today, finish is very good, well happy with it, but the paint is a little bit too bright red :blowup: the skirts are going to the body shop for some paint, i'll ask the guy to spray some on the lip too :angry:

wow that's weird.. i was about to do the same thing. but my GF crashed into a snow bank so i had to hold it off.. very nicely done. So im guessing the stock euro lip wont fit with the GT4 bumper flush?

oooh thats pretty good looking. Good work man!

looks great! good job.

Ya know, i think i actaully prefer the look of that than the actual eurou gt-four lip like i have on my car, its not as bulky, nice mod.

yea, the bulkiness is the only reason i didnt buy the actual lip for the faff

i will be chopping up a genuine TRD front bumper to fit the faff, that would be once the weather warms up a bit here next year

Yes I agree It looks better than the Euro GT-4 Lip. This custom made lip flows a lot better with the stock 96+ optional side skirts fitted on gt celica and SS-II/SS-III's. where can you buy this lip from??

get some daytime pictures please I really like this one. Undecided with this one vs the C-One Lip anybody have the c-one lip on a red GT-4
