re-doing front? is it possible, supra lights? Options

[citgo]

so i was wondering if anyone has taken out the 4 headlights and re did the body adn front bumper so that you coudl put the supra lights in it. basicaly im wondering about how much it will cost and how hard will it be?

-thank you, citgo

[bojangles_8686]

playr158 did it, he had to do a lot of fiberglass work

[mneal2_92788]

i dont see how it wouldnt be possible. you would have a lot of customizing tho, and have to change the entire front end. ive thought of trying this also, good luck.

[Batman722]

don't do it

If someone does that with really big time and experience it might even look good. Player had few things that needs to be done better so it would look like it was supposed to be there. Anyway i wouldnt do it.

[playr158]

I would think if somebody wanted to do a supra front end conversion, the BEST way would be to get a real supra hood and bumper and fender, and work from there. All that would be needed is a grinder with a cutting disc and a mig welder..the worst outcome would be panels that a not perfectly aligned...way better than than playing around with bondo and molding everything.

Sounds very interesting....(got an idea) lol...

actaully starting with supra parts won't work the supra is MASSIVELY too wide for a celica to use + its much longer in the front it is not as simple as cut and weld from supra bits..i put my car next to my neighbor's and measured all the bits....its much easier to start from celica parts and cut away.....

but i got tired of the project decided not to do the finishing work to make it look 100% and took it all off....though i can say the supra headlights went to another 6gc member

hehehe
ahhh, to be young, and dumb.....no dan??

i gotta give you credit for even attempting that, tho, jumping in with both feet like that is not something just anyone will do.

Playr was never the same after the conversion.

Plyr, what mirrors are those?

5th gen folding

man i feel stupid, i thought these were the only 5th gen mirrors. but i feelin those folding ones.

[dustin15brown]

yeah, someone correct me if i'm wrong... but the folding ones are JDM opnly and weren't offered in the 5th gens in the states.... They also require a different switch if you want them to be power folding. not a stupid mistake, just something a little less known. And if that is the biggest mistake you run into with your celi, you'll be alright

if anyone puts that much money into the lights themselves then all the work.... holy ****

[goferris]

don't mean to jack the thread or anything, just wondering if playr had any pics of the curren conversion. well do ya? very interested in doing that in the distant future and wanted to see how the finished product looks.
also has any one done any custom headlights? not the projectors (too much money especially if you are going to pul them apart). how hard would it be to replace the lens with just a clear lens? let me know because i think that would look pretty sweet. thanks

So I saw the pic of that vanquish and thought it might look good, that, and the fact that I cant goto sleep, made me make this...

I think it looks pretty good, considering I did this photoshop at 4 in the morning



I would give someone major props for trying that.

[Shocker]

^^^that look f'n bad as*

Sweet. Nice photochop. The bonnet isn't quite right though. The Vanquish bonnet looks quite a lot like the GT4 bonnet but with vents in slightly different places and different angles on the V. I think one could cheat and use someone elses lights rather than the expensive vanquish lights.

[playr158]

and the Vanquish headlights are much larger than that

[Shocker]

oh geez guys give him a break..it just a fun photoshop.
im sure it wouldnt even work in in real life.that car is much wider than ours.

yeah it is definitley wider, I just thought i would see how it looks

I didn't intend that to be a critism, just to comment that for me the bonnet is part of what makes the Vanquish (and the GT4 for that matter) look so sweet. Once again: nice work on that photoshop, bojangles.

And if anyone still cares, the Celica is 69" wide, the Vanquish is 75". The main difference in the width is that the Vanquish has an extreme widebody styling. I think the main reason for it not working in practice is when you look at the shape of the two cars from above. The Vanquish has a much more rounded nose.

no pics for you!

hey look what i found

6GC + Vanquish front end = Tiburon.
