Wide front arches. Options

[playr158]

Great work Ray.
I can't wait to see the finished product! super clean "widebody"

[yellowchinaman]

So I've been doing the blending on my lunches over the past 2 days. Its starting to take shape and doing my best to keep the origional lines of the celica.




Still need to do some more filler work with a finer grade then finish it off by hand before priming it.

looks good...

ATTENTION, be careful to put the right volume addiction in the zone where skirts should be (both original or bigger "tuning" ones), or it could happens mounting error of skirts

Wayyyyy ahead of you buddy.
Ive thought that through and the widening doesnt start until above the line of where the most common TRD or 404 skirts start. Same with the front with spats, C one lip or C one and varis bumper.
So none of those will be effected.

I think they should be ok wih euro ones as from what I recall, they are only as high as the c one lip and fallow the same line.

I have these one (not my car :-), only pic from eurou site

That picture looks a bit photoshopped. Either that or they blended in the bumper with the arches.
But you can see the line of which the front lip starts in the front wheel arch is of the same height as C one and Varis.

[max-elle]

Yes, they seem to be at the same height. Good!
However, here a less photoshopped pic of Eurou type 2 skirts!

Any progress on these?

[malpaso]

It looks bloody amazing! great job mate.

[yellowchinaman]

no. The car is sitting here and I am still awaiting for some deposited from the GB in the GT4OC. Im not prepared to spend any money on the next stage of mould productions until I know there are people ready to buy these.

[Nemises]

I did this on my last celi (the white one)and though small it made the car look much more aggressive. I used the chrome fender trim an molded them in I used fiberglass ones for the back.

Great work

[yellowchinaman]

funny enough I bought those chrome fender extensions too. But then returned it because i didn't think they where worth it and also i didn't think it'll have the original look effect I wanted.
Anyway I should be getting the first pair sent back to me early next week so I'm pretty excited to see how they turn out.

[yellowchinaman]

Here it is fitted.
They are not prepped, filled or sanded down at all. All of which will need to be done for this to look perfect and well aligned by a body shop who knows what they are doing.
Only 1 bolt holding the wings down on top for the purpose of the test fit.










I am happy with the results and production will commence next week.

[playr158]

Wow thats really nice work.
Even unprepped and in black (hard to see lines) it still looks like a really nice subtle enhancement to the car's lines and allows for a little more of the gripy stuff!

[Box]

Very professional as always!

[chacha]

Ray long time, glad to see you still working on the celi, im ready to buy...let me know when, especially if it has the side markers as precut into the fenders. let me know if you have any more trd side skirts left from the production. just message me when you can

Thanks guys.
This and next week I'll be doing so overtime with my staff getting ready for a respray. Hopefully have some finished pics before end of the month.

Chacha. These are going into production next week and I'm making a batch for the first GB.
Once they're done I'll PM you about what you want to order.
You do need to drill out your own holes and indicator holes but we've left markings as to where it is so you can either leave them flushed (for US 6G) or drill it out if you want to mount the side repeaters.
