pics of my blitz front, what u guys think? Options

[DeW_H0e_GT]

i mounted the blitz front i bought from clear last night for 4 friggin hours and i still dont know how to make em flush like facotry...finally i jus said f*k it..and drilled it into front fender where the side markers are.....from the front it looks AS SEXY AS EEVR....on teh side..its looks crappy.....*sigh*..

but enjoy!!!!...

[Valo666]

nice..rare to see an actual Blitz.

[azian_advanced]

looks clean...

perhaps moulding them with your fenders would look even cleaner...

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

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.

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!!!

Nothing other than a little program called Photoshop.

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.

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.

[Jaws4God]

Looks great! I was thinking about doing blitz when I was deciding on a kit... If you can.. post some more pics!!

[celicagurl152003]

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.

[DeW_H0e_GT]

thanks for the replies guys/girls......thanx for the advice and BASHING....i do whatever i want , so there!!.LoLs..

yea, some of the body experts i use to work with recommended me to trim the parts where it fits "too" much.....OR use a heat gun to bend it to a point where it actually fits flush wit the fenders.....

u guys/girls are the best!!!....(not talking bout you jay..LoLs.....Its actually called that same way for the wipers....go to advance and ull find out)

ill post up more pics...god dman i luv my 6g now!!!!!!

i agree with all his points. def need some skirts with that next after you get it professionally fit. opinions dont really matter about styling though, as long as youre happy with it. but if it were me, i dont think itd be pretty what id do to that wing lol. also im with bulldog, should put toyota emblem back on, or maybe consider a gt-4 style slot. id have to see it photoshopped on it to make up my mind though.

[CelicaZR]

Its looks good DeW_H0e_GT
But I've to agree with Dan's advice
I would go with the JDM style for your sidemarkers.

^ I agree with that. I also think you need to take the side markers off. You can just shave them, or get JDM like Dan said.

[jayi12-15psi]

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.

[celicagurl152003]

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.

[jayi12-15psi]

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.

[DeW_H0e_GT]

thanks neways jay.....

any more ideas?

[Rjb23]

To get the blitz front to fit you have to cut your fenders. Do a search on here a few ppl had that front before and you have to cut the fenders.

[blaque_6thGen]

i was originally going to get the blitz kit. and i think it looks frikin' sexy on yours. maybe when i decide to repaint my car, i'll switch the frint bumper to that one...i really like it. good job bro!

Dang that looks good! i just got the invader and now im jelous

[playr158]

actually you can get that to fit fine without cutting the fenders...

wat your goin to need to do is
remove the sidemarkers to start....

and i can't tell if you using a crash bar or not but thats also 1 reason why it might not come back so far...
(if your using a crash bar and the bumper hits it making the bumper not come back so far....get a dremel and cut away some of the inside from the bumper and you'll get more clearance and allow it to come back some more towards the fender.)

as on the piece that over laps the fender it looks like the top edge has a lip that should be sanded down so that you can pull the bumper in towards the fender more...so i'd suggest sanding down the inside of the overlap, the top lip, and that will allow the piece to come flush along the fender and the rear most piece to wrap around inside the wheel well..


i doubt you'll need to cut the fenders, before you get into cutting fenders and permanent damage.. i suggest resorting to a professional who has more qualifications in this type of work then you as well

[DeW_H0e_GT]

thanx player...

i tooken out the crash bar...yea, a coworker of mines who been doin lotta body kit installs recommended me to shave some parts down to make it flush....ill try to look at it further to prevent any non-repairable damage....im more concern about the hood clearance (opening and closing)....

any more help is great.....

much luv goin out to 6gc.net...watchin out for each other mentally n physically......

[DeW_H0e_GT]

Dang that looks good! i just got the invader and now im jelous

thanx bro....invaders and blitz are so cool imo......zyclones great..gt4 conversion is even more sick....but hey for the ppl who competes at a local car show need to be more "ricey" to get points or maybe to get girls/boys...hehe....
