well ive finally decided to do a full supra rear end and tail light conversion so far after one day ive done the cutting and metal work now im going to mold the rear end ill post pictures soon let me know wut you all think i just decided to post this to see if anyone has any ideas on this i havent seen anything on how to start this but im pretty good at fabricating parts so im begining in a few hours ive got only one day to do this and make my car drivable i have to work the next day soooo yeah ive managed to get all the the tails and the rear bodykit bumper cover for $180. soo im pretty much set as far as parts go let me know if yal have any ideas latazz pepo so all you need for this conversion is a supra rear bumper and supra tails? You might have to customize something for the rear fender tail light section...if not mold on the Supra rear fender section. -------------------- |

yeah the only problem with that is no supra to mold but its by no means done just trying to get the shaping an fabricating done then im gonna go back to finishing the actual tail light section for now it will do until i go back to it and its not an absolute must but it helps to have a supra rear so you have something to work with and it makes it much easier not having to start from scatch but thats where the fun starts though

Gotta say I'm impressed, every other Supra light conversion has looked horrible but this is spot on.

ok pepo sorry for the absense lately but this project has taken on a life of its own ive now decided to throw a modified 350z front veilside kit on this car you all said the front wasnt up to par with the rear so ive decided to bring it up to par but this decision will probrobly cause me to fully change the rear completly if i dont think it matches up with the front this was the picture that got the sparks going in my head
but im moving before the end of december so there will be few to no updates until then let me know wut your feedback is on this as i think it does matter but keep in mind i have three of these cars this is by no meens the traditional look im going for something you dont see or find anywhere else as ive grown board with looking at my stock gt4 an regular celica gt just to get the comments going and yes i will be keeping the stock headlights on this car where they are (later upgrading to projectors) this being said let me know wut you guys think laters i will be checking on this post frequently to answer questions so keep em comming |

But that's just my opinion since I'd rather keep a Celica's exterior OEM...besides the fact that you have Supra tails, of course. But keep us updated. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

The back is great, but I'm VERY lost on your new front bumper decision. You're putting on a bumper that has cornered headlight holes and a bump in the center that covers your brights. Now I'm sure you're going to do some magic on this and prove me wrong, but I'm not really understanding where you're taking this.

Interesting choice on the front bumper..... I this will look much better than the front end you had on there, if done correctly. I can't wait to see the work.

if you are doing a supra rear and 7gc front, it already appeared in option 2 mag, if you want it for reference.

lol i was looking for something i liked on a car and this front was something i liked... my roommate has a 350z and i was thinking this is also gonna be my next car as well. notto mention my roomate is obsessed with tokyo drift and the cars from it and this happends to be the veil side kit from the movie... i also took a bet with a freind... dosent believe that its possible to do this and is always talking sheet about our cars and comparing his mercedez to them he loved it when i told him it didnt matter his car stil looked an drove like crap. hahaha basically hes one of those guys that says that if they cant do it no one can type of thing so its strictley to shut him up and take his car and money/he included his car in the bet lol im gonna take it and sell it for five dollars celica is one of my favorite cars hands down anyways so next after the body is finished in like 5 or 6 months 3sgte rebuilt and boosted to a twentyfour psi just like my other one... yay im gonna paint it candy apple red and call it the cu cuay lol
