I wanted to know if anyone new anyone or a shop with excellent skills to replicate a TRD bumper,
I have always tought of the idea this might be something that will bring a lot of attention... no, i wont ship to vincent, it would be killer... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

best thing to do is look for smaller manufacturers of fiberglass racecar bodies,fiberglass replica parts,and produce some of thier own ground effects kit..quick search came across this placehttp://www.showcars-bodyparts.com/ they dont seem like a bad place as they do fiberglass body parts/ground effects for the classic celicas! just would be best to search around then search for reviews on their custom side of the buisness...i do know alot of places use a mold lay in the fiberglass by hand then use a specialized top mold for vacume pressing to remove the airbubbles and leave it nice and smooth, but i wouldnt use fiberglass for a front lip i would use urethane which would be easier and you could potentialy do this at home, that is get a LOT of silicone a+b molding product,mold release,and some a+b urethane, make mold of bumper take bumper out, assemble mold and pour in your urethane, let cure pop out of mold prep/paint..just some info i found about replicating parts that ive been researching for certain things i may attempt in future, and another link that might help you out http://www.hotrodders.com/articles/fibergl...art_making.html
