As im doing the 4agze motor swap, i was unable to avoid removing the front bumper. The problem was that the front bumper was molded onto the Laser Fenders. So i had to cut it.

Should i stick to the Kombat front or should i go with a different one?

heres what it looked like in its best form

With the whole front off i was thinking going with a whole new look

IPB Image
1. Type D

or
IPB Image
2. B-Tune

or
IPB Image
3. Demon

or
IPB Image
4. BMX

or
IPB Image
5. Sigma

Now before anyone flames me cuz im showing a bunch of supra style fronts, i plan on using my previous kombat front bumper and merge the new one to it. and i was thinking of making a cuztom wide body kit if i got the time. any more ideas please let me know.

I say 1 or 2 would look good if you can blend them well.

I did say they are Supra ones, and if you havent noticed that the Kombat is much like a stock supra front.

I had many thoughts on the bmx bumper, but i know someone has/had a celica that had this already done, or some what similar to it. He was in SD but then got in an accident and never finished the project.

Here in SD. I know the last time you saw me was probably when i first came out with the Kombat at that one meet long ago. A year ago i blew my 7afe and another member on thi site just happen to have a 4agze sitting around. So i took it off his hands. well after many personal trials and lost of friendships, i am back onto working on the celica. So here i am. as i stated i had the kit molded to the fenders and with any swap the front bumper is always taken off. I have tried to avoid this as much as possible but it had to happen. Plus i was planning to get a new one anyways.

My car is turning into a mutt! got the looks of a supra, got the heart of an mr2, but still got the soul of the celica. something like that...

the Kombat bumper looks awesome, but maybe you could shave down the bottom so its flat? That would look sweet

Car looks amazing btw.
