Pretty sweet, never seen one like that in person. I'd go for it, as long as you have some patience for installing-

That looks like it'll only fit if you've got the GT-Four hood. Unless you do some custom work, your normal hood won't close.

That is true. It's a replica of the Varis extremor front bumper for the ST205.

That is not the same bumper. The one your first post is for the ST205 celica and is the Varis Extremor kit. The one that you just posted here is the Varis Arising II for the ST202.

I have the Arising II for my Celica, but instead it is modified to fit flush with the ST205 hood.

How did you get that yellow tint on your highs?? That's what I want in the future. And garin, I agree. I'm not a huuuge fan of the rear lip, I think it's very ricey, But I think you could make the bumper work with some semi-aggressive side skirts (not the invader ones, oh no) and some good rear splitters. Just my 2 cents.

Oo THANKS biggrin.gif . There's a Celica meet this Saturday so hopefully I'll get some good pictures smile.gif. You don't want to see my car from every possible angle though haha, it has many imperfections laugh.gif .

I used a tinted film called Lamin-x. Here is their website Lamin-x

It's pretty easy to work with, and it holds up really well and protects the headlights from rock chips. It comes in several different colors.

Already talked to you via PM, but just incase anyone else was wondering. Yes, I purchased a 12"x15" roll and cut the shapes out myself. The high beams are easy because you don't have to cut them out too accurately since the front bumper covers up the edges of the lights smile.gif.
