I know few people done this before but now its my turn! some people cut just grill part and put it in the regular bumper (st,gt) but i decided to do it this way... cutting a whole and make it look like a gt4 bumper! what you guys think? it came out good?

someone done this before??? i know malpaso did but he didnt cut it.. he cut it from a gt4 bumper and put it in his bumper

PS:im still working on my front and rear bumper haha

not bad tho, looks like a good work in progress kinda thing, keep it up

looks good, love custom work

looks really good for DIY!

Good skillz man, i like your work keep it up and keep us posted

well, you did a great job to make it look like GT4 bumper, according to the second picture. The third picture leaves a lot to my imagination so I'm definitely looking forward to see it in paint!

may i ask how you molded it. fiberglass? bondo? it looks really good and id be really interested in doing something similar.

looking good!

yeah im actually interested to know my self, I see that is bondo, but how did you get the shape exactly? i imagine it has taken quite some time, ive been molding my supra sides for like 5 days straight now to get them nice

ok these were my steps!
1. take bumper off
2. spray the are with yellow paint (so i could draw the shape with black pen, because my car is black)
3. cut it
4. start applying bondo all around little by little and with my other hand holding a cardboard so the bondo doesnt go every where. wait til it gets hard and apply more bondo till I get the right shape
5. had to cut the bondo with a small hand saw to make the shape better and then..
6. sand it with 80 grit sand paper and the with 220 to make it smoth

oh! make sure you clean the area where you gonna apply the bondo otherwise it wont stick good!

i hope this helps!

yeah! i saw your pics! and looks like you are taking a lot of time lol to make the bumper took me in total about 4 to 5 hours
and i got that shape with hand saw and sand paper bondo is really easy to sand it and get any shape with it and you should know! lol good luck with your side skirts!! hope to see final result soon!



thanks!

yeah I just finished my sides, and they were hard just because of all the curves and trying as hard as possible to get them flush and looking like they were supposed to be there lol.
You should mold ur sides if you plan to keep them that is, makes everything look alot smoother and flow
