Hey Guys,
So I'm preparing to do my celi's big exterior mods very soon. I've got a pair of OEM rear extensions from DCW (NOT SS-III ones) and I'm eyeing off a pair of Z Style Side Skirts. Like everyone else I would kill to get my hands on a Tom's dealer option front lip, but am simply too impatient! Oh and I have the 96+ 3 post bumper. So at this point I see two options: 1. Get some SS-III splitters for the front. I've discussed this with DSRTFX and he doesn't think it would look great. I thought I'd see if anyone had pictures and judge it then. 2. Get OEM front extensions (which only suit the pre-96 bumper) and modify them to suit. Has anyone modified them this way before? Would it be possible? 3. Oh I just thought of this option whilst typing. I suppose I could always try making my own custom extensions. I have some relatives (my Dad included) who are pretty handy with fibreglass and stuff. I don't know if this is really an option, or more just seeing how many people think I'd be crazy to try it Any help is appreciated! |

First of all - YOU DONT NEED to do any modifications to TRD/OEM splitters to fit them on 96+ bumper!
Second - Toms option lip + TRD / OEM skirts are very popular combination in japan - i always see this combination in Car Auctions then looking for celicas - and the problem is that Toms Magic lip has the shape of Stock sideskirts, and then matching it with the TRD skirts - the height of both of these is different (Toms lip sits higher) and shape is totaly out. You would get the same if you gonna go this way with the 404 skirts.. You will get the same if you will go with the SSIII fronts too... -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...
