6G Celicas Forums

thank you!!! yellowchinaman. yeah after looking at this thread, i reconised your name and profile pic, and was like " wait, i just read a thread w/ him talking about making some realy cool arow part for the front under tray" then looked you up on 6gc here, when i seen all of your threads about the TOP NOTCH replicas and 100% fit.. i was like "DAMN!!!! why do you have to be all the way over in london, and me poor!!" lol.. all that to say that after reading this i looked you up and seen all of the cool stuff you make and have made availible to us here on 6gc, and noticed the "wings" .. oh and was trolling ebay last night too (after seeing this) and i think i would go with this set

upon further inspection of your OP pic i would think that you would be able to fit it w/o having to remove anything from the front quarters. (as you are now considering) im hopeing that this is true, as i have the factory metal ones.
how are you planning to hook up the additional lights? looks like that top section is for oem turn signal? (in the neon) perhaps put our turns up there too (w/ LED "bulbs", nice since when they are off they are clear/white, so they dont leave an orange reflection in the housing) and give us our OEM section as a new vent or to block off/fill in.
as far as the LED's and halo' i was thinkinig of just having those on a switch, or perhaps even having the LEDs as turn... hmm idk, so many difrent options with this..

always thought about test fitting those. nice to see someone attempt it.

Thanks for the compliments.
I'll keep this updated whenever I do get a chance to do more work on it but that doesn't happen often as we have a workshop to run and we don't get much time to do our own things.
Regarding the stock turns I may just mesh it out. But then again I have a Varis front and I'm trying to make the car as aerodynamically better so having them as vents wont really help.

I been thinking about the high beam slots. Maybe make some custom foglights to fill in the spot?

YEAH!!!! great idea!! i was thinking about somthing along those lines my self wile thinking about the evo9 headlight pods that house the fogs in the headlight housing it self!!
perhaps make a fiberglas "incert" that would house a set of these and a clear plastic lense... if i can find a kit of the headlights that have the same 6k HID and CCFL halos then ill be set...

Yeah that'd look sick plus it'd give you a set of driving lights haha. Win/win situation

Any progress? I'd like to see the final result.

Not that much progress cos I'm doing other things to my car.
But with the lamps so far:
First cut off ALL the plastic fittings. Then rivet new brackets to the slam panel. Lamp must line up along the corners to the bonnet whilst shut.
Adjust angles for alignment then fix it into position.
Now I'm putting the fenders back on and have concluded that there's no way of doing this without having to trim back the fenders as well as a lot of the bumper lamp for it to fit.

I say no to replacing the high beams with fog lights. When that would be done, you would have exactly what you started with- low beams, brights, and fog lights- but it wouldn't look as good. The whole point of this project I'd to eliminate thR high beams.

I agree with you richee but its more of the uniqueism of it. It might look good or it might be terrible. Air dams would be better performance-wise(maybe). Some vehicles can pull the day-time lights off and some can't. Good luck and I might be trying this later on once I finish my turbo build.

If it were me, I'd use the driver side high beam to bring in air into the intake with a circle cone to piping to the nose of an open ended filter and then seal off the passenger side. Not much for aesthetics, but the direct stream of cool air into the engine will boost engine performance a bit.

??? the tubo inlet is on the passenger side though? Even fgor the 3SGE engines the inlet is on the same side and that lamp is the shorted and closest feed to the filter before the engine.

I think it's a RHD vs LHD thing. I think you're both referring to the same light.

which headlights are theses?

i want to see pic of this whit bumper install, at worst, its a good ideas for the clean lens

any updates?

was curious to see the final so I tried a quick photoshop just to satisfy myself. here you guys go.

and i apologize in advance for stealing lil-joe's photo

I know its not how its going to turn out (I think at least) but removing the High beams make it look waaaaay to open

i'd say just put a cap on the holes (from the back side) almost like some of the gt-four rally cars have it
