[i will add the positive with positive and negative with negative votes]
I want to start making custom parts for Celicas, I know how to mold plastic, its one of my passions too, and I love designing new things, and a good start would be designing celica parts while making my own kind of car using the celica engine and frame,while using the same molds to make those parts for you guys and also taking custom orders, designing on paper uploading the design and shoing how it could look like and if the costumer likes it, ill make the molds shape the plastics, putting everything toguether and upload a photo of it if customer likes it, ill make the other one and ship them.
sounds good or not?
i havent been ale to get some quotes of suppiers because i've been busy trying to replace the drive axles, but the big nut and the center of the disk its too hard, my father even broke the big rachet or whatever thts called, and still te nut is there, and before anything we sprayed DW-40 or what ever that penetrant foami oil is called and its just too hard, tomorrow im off to a real mechanic to see if they can get that thing out, than after i will try to get some price quotes on the acrilics and polycarbonate, to be able to give a some what accurate price, but my guess/goal is about 50-140$ usd to make affordable tail/head/foglight covers, that you guys would just need to pry off the old and in with the new, my goal is to make affordable covers that would make your cars get an awesome custom look without paying rediculus prices. like a wesite i went looking for tail light covers that werelike for 400$ which is tremendously ridiculus, also my goal its to probably make a store that I could make a living of and work to do what I love. which is making custom things just about anything smile.gif rolleyes.gif , maybe in the next 2 months I will make something with a custom molded plastic, to improve how my celi looks and if you guys like it then take it as an example of what i can do for you guys too, just give me a vote and let me know what you think.
I'm planning to make aerodynamic headlamp covers that might replace the OEM one or just mount on it, depends on what you want!, also tail light covers that would be clear/smoked/custom designs/extruded, and custom tails themselves with different shapes or imitations of BMW or mercedez, that would fit celicas without modifications, but some painting required to match the car's color, and look almost authentic smile.gif, but if i do this, i woul ship the lights masked ready for paint and installation. and MAYBE LED tail light comversions, using all american LEDs guaranteed not to burn out with within weeks like cheap chinese LEDs/ also us LEDs are brighter, and many colors available, will continue adding info later
just give me vote so far
edit1 - i could make certain design with different requests from you guys and and if you like it illmake a prototype show a video and some pics and if you guys agree on that it would be cheaper because i wouldnt have to spend on more molds, but just use the same

Inner beams (Day light & High beams): projectors with angel eyes
QUOTE
Outter beams (Night lights): projectors with led strips (Audi kind of style)

sorry but I dont use led strips they are too expensive and are made in china(cheap) which means that tey would have to get replaced within the 1st 3 months, i install american leds 1 by 1.
I can make high quality Led angel eyes that look as good as ccfl ones, but more efficient because they only use 2 LEDs on each ring, i made a couple for my friend for like 20$ i sold them to him, but the company that used to make the acrilyc rods I used closed, so i need to get a supplier even tho i think i found another company that makes them,i just need to ask them to sell me some samples of the sizes they have in stock, so that i could buy the right size for the an design gel eyes and demon eyes. also leds on regular celica headlamps dont look that appealing on the night, because you wont be able to see them, after i design a replacement for the stock headlamps I could make them and show you guys , if you like it with leds, angel/demon lights and everything on them, I could make some for you all and add your suggestions too but for those headlamp you will need to cut off the little piece of bumper in between the lights in order to fit of course also i would make them fit exactly where stock ones go, that way you wont need that much modification to fit them.

Clear upper timing cover. Smooth cowl cover. Panels for the triangle where the ext mirrors go so that you can use motorcycle style mirrors. 1 piece radio/ shifter trim
I could make most of those things too, but whats the upper timing cover?cowl cover/is that the black plastic that is next to the wippers?
