Hello my fellow Celicans,

I'm in the process of making some underpanels for my other projects. I would like to see if there's anybody in this community that would be interested. My target price would be around $200-$300.

Color: black aluminum brushed

I will update with pictures once I am finish.

Yes, interest, but obviously it would depend on the result of your prototype.

Indeed,

Material: aluminum of course
Weight: less than 10lb
Fastening: bolts up to factory with 10mm screws.

I'm doing a prototype on one of the member on here. I will finish his beams swap first.

no, not really. It just gets rid of that plastic ripping off or grimes and dirt in the engine bay. No improvements on aerodynamics. After rebuilding a couple of 3sgte and driving it awhile it starts to go from this to this... well similar to the one below. Also to make our car look a lil bit more up to date.

Definately interested, every celica i see has there damn plastic dams hanging or dragging. Mine ripped off on the freeway one day. yeah that pretty much sucked, and its allowed all the grime and dirt to collect in the engine bay!! Aarrgghh! Whenever you get a prototype made post it up and if its nice I'll grab my checkbook haha.

Mine pretty much scratched everytime i hit a speed bump and it finally just ripped off. Also I'm trying to be considerate since some 6gc on here has there car dropped. I'm planning to design it where it's pushed in above the crossmember level. So that it won't damage the underbody panel.

also include access to things like the oil drain bolt like the C-ONE under panels and perhaps the radiator drain plug.

most definately, but I would I will make it a 2 piece for each side. I don't want the road to hit the panels. I dropped my 6gc 2in and it hits the crossmember when I go over speed bumps sometimes.

Mine might take awhile. But hopefully with this months swap project done . I shall head way toward the Celica project. Still waiting for GT mounts. frown.gif I might just get them brand new, I'll get the material soon and just take pictures of it when it arrives.
