Got my car back from bodyshop, GT4 Front End Conversion is completed! Options

[celiracer]

Car looks good man. Keep up the good work. And i'm sure what you choose for the lip option its still gonna look good.

[Driveby]

Nice job mate, a lot of work but the end product is well worth the effort I have the C-One front lip and front tower bar and cant reccomend them enough, great quality (but pricey) pieces.

The car looks great!

BTW, what do you have now as far as exhaust? Did you go from dual to single? Why? I mean, other than going for the complete GT4 look.

[Kadett]

Still have a part of the old system. Cut off the old exhaust behind the muffler tip. When the Apexi N1 muffler comes in the car goes to an exhaust shop nearby for a full 3" system. Then in Januari I will order an Aussie DP.

But the Dual exhaust is truly gone, the whole made in the rear lip has been fixed. Was really bad for permance to, already feeling like the exhaust flow is a bit better.

Hey all,

Haven't posted much lately because I work from 6am-10pm. But 3 weeks ago the painter picked up my car for a new paintjob and to complement the 3S-GTE swap, a GT4 front end.

Nice. How low did you go with those wheels and what parts did you use?

Cheers,

Wheels themselves are 18 inch with a 35 tyre wrapped around them. Suspension is Tein Super Street on stock/preset ride height as they were from the package. I guess its 40mm lowered compared to a stock Celica.

WOW!!! Very nice! i love the rims man!

[giang723]

Thx for the replies up till now.

i was just wondering, how much did it cost to do the whole thing, inclduing the engine and all? cause i'm thinking of doing a conversion as well

I bought a JDM Wreck in february for 5000 Euro, it had a damaged front bumper but hood and other parts were salvageable. Had to buy a new bumper and right 96+ sideskirt. Some guy swapped the engine in for free if he could keep the leftovers of the wreck, already sold the JDM Tails/antenne and a few misc. items from the interior but moreover I could keep the GT4 front end parts

All in all the swap/conversion and paintjob costs me about 8000 Euro's in total.

Still stock by means of seats and Toyota options, ICE is updated. HKS Turbo Timer+EDFC are below my Head Unit.

In my search for more dealers for C-one products I came across the next website.

www.kinwaymotorsports.com

Price in total + shipping would be 640 dollars from there. 340 for the lip itself and around 250-300 dollars for actual shippings costs (from USA->Europe) Since 1 dollar = 0.75 Euro its better doing business through the USA then via Japan.

Has anyone here done business with this company?

[Fastbird]

That came out really nice. Given the amount of body work that went into it that paintjob can't have been cheap.

[Kadett]

Gonna keep my lips closed on the total figure. Painter is a friend of mine, if you guys know the price I cant really face myself on here anymore

Let's just say it has been done the good way, all windows out, everything that was even a bit worn/bad immediatly replaced by brand new OEM Toyota parts. The bill I had from the Toyota dealer was almost more then what I had to pay to my friend

Kadett, you should check on www.japanparts.com for c-one products, they have fair prices

[Kadett]

Thx, but checked it out. Got a 800+ dollar quote for the lip+shipping

You should count the customs Fee + VAT whne sending it from somthere outside EU... so another +16% and dont know how much charge will take your customs - so in the end it might roll up even higher..

Im making one order atm from Japan - and i may ask for the C-one lip there too if you intrested.

[TomPoz]

Any words won't do the justice - I will just remain speechless admiring your car...

[presure2]

that looks GREAT man.
the body work is very nice.
now that im finally learning some bodywork, i have a much better appreciation for what goes into getting black to lay that smooth after body work.
