looks clean...
perhaps moulding them with your fenders would look even cleaner... -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Looks like the 96-99 clear turn signals would look better. I'd put the Toyota emblem back on too. It seems like it's missing something. That's just my opinion, it doesn't count for much in styling.

#1 it looks really good!
#2 might want to remove your sidemarkers and smooth the hole over as the layover doesn't really allow them anymore (part of your fitment issues i would assume) i'd run none or JDM style #3 sideskirts and a rear and woot your done and sexi! |

the only other pic i've seen of that bumper is this here:
a photoshop to get it a little clearer hopefully: I like what they did with the turns and sidemarkers in this pick. What it is they did, however, i haven't a clue. This post has been edited by Tech9ine: Dec 15, 2005 - 12:55 PM |

Wild try to fit the side extension of the bumper and forget about the side markers (Remove them )
This Bumper looks amazing if you are planning for a Front Mount Intercooler! You should also try to replace your side skirts to much with the Front Bumper,it is not necessary to fit the same side skirts as they look in the photo below,you can easily find something nice to match with the bumper. It is wild having a look on the car from the Bumper to the rear Spoiler!!! |

sorry, let me be a little more constructive
-I recommend having the bumper fitted by a bodyshop -If I were you, I'd lose the sun strip on the windshield, I think it's tacky -You know what I'm going to say about the wing -you now need to get some skirts to go with it. -You need to turbo that new 3sge so you can have a fmic -"JDM Style Silver Aero Wipers"<----- Oh geeez Sorry, this stuff is just my opinion. Also can I see some shots from the side? I'd like to see how bad the fit of the bumper looks from the side. I'm also curious to see how your combo of the two different types of rims look. - -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]

the blitz bumper is awesome but it just doesnt look right on our cars. the distance from the front of the car to the front wheel well is to far apart on our cars and makes it look awkward. thats just my opinion though.

you may have to flex the fiberglass to get it to fit tightly to your kit. This means get a heat gun and heat the fiber glass (not to the point of melting it or leaving your finger prints in it but just enought to mold it to where it belongs). This will help emensly with the way it sticks out on the ends. Also like Azian Advanced said you can mold the kit, that is another way to fix the problem but either way you are going to have to fit the fiberglass to your car before anything.

It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |

You can just shave them, or get JDM like Dan said. -------------------- Buy my Celica $2,500 - http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=76562&st=0

Hey, I was just trying to help. If you don't want my opinion, don't post your car. I thought I was being pretty constructive except for the wiperblade comment. I think most will agree, those wiperblades have to go. Hey it's not your fault, I had those when I was 16 on my camry, lol. I don't care if they're actually called "JDM" they still don't look good.
I love how I'm the only one who's not "the best" simply because I gave you some advice. Take critical posts as your best friends, because people who say things don't look good around here are trying to help. if you don't like criticism then don't post. -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]

jay that's no fair, he just wanted to show off his kit because he's happy with it....not all post ask for friendly criticism. At the same time I do half way agree with you though, Dew you might as well get used to the bashing. It happens alot, granted you may not want to hear it but look at it the way i do. Either that person is trying to say "hey i think if you did this it would look better" or they are just jealous (sp). Most people don't care for the Blitz kit, but for those of us that do, right on...go us. Personall i think your car is coming along great, I love the Blitz kit.

This is open discussion and I was trying to help. Maybe I wasn't so nice about the wiperblade thing, but I deserve to be able to make comments about other peoples cars if they post them up. I'm not some a$$-hole who will just say things like "that looks like ****," believe me there are alot of guys out there who will just say things like that, it's not constructive. You're obviously trying to better your car, and I'm telling you what I think would look good. I also think that in alot of people's eyes, my post was one of the most useful of your replies.
I could have very easily just said, "hey, looks good!" If you want me to just say that, just post a little disclaimer in your post asking people to not criticise. -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]
