[2bcelica]

If you ever plan on lowering the car you might have a problem.

[Bakkmagedon]

It is already lowered

[reko]

polyurethane foam? ur gonna shave it yourself or what ????

[trdproven]

you know what I would do...I would just trim a bit off from the bottom, then widen all three holes to make it a wide mouth bumper like the drift style.

[Bakkmagedon]

I see, not a bad idea
I have widen the middle hole about 8-10 cm, removed the holdes on side( I have new led fog lights im gonna install) and where the foglights was before im gonna have old school celica dragon stickers ; ) I have tryed it out on photoshop and think that will look great. Im probably gonna put more photo out today or tomorrow.

I guess it`s called "polyurethane foam" and its really nice to use when you do what I am doing.
Its really easy to shape, its not to expensive, easy to lay glasfiber on it and easy to remove if you want^^, (if you dont remove it it really makes the front bumper stronger)

[foxcraze]

keep this thing up to date ohhh yeahhh

[Spider77]

Looks like the celi has a beard....really though, good luck on this. I like those side skirts...what are they?

[Bigblock]

INTERESTING--- I'll DEF be checking on this! can show a little of whats involved as you go?? GOOD LUCK!!

[vile_v]

reminds me of this:


props for uniqueness!

[trdproven]

looks like you actually built the whole kit

[Bakkmagedon]

Not too bad...looks a little "heavy" for my choice, but good work. Still have a bit of work to do huh?

[Bakkmagedon]

Thanks!
I have cut off 2-3 cm from the bottom(after the photos was taken), it was to low for the roads where I live It`s ALOT more to do -.- But I`m happy with it so far, and think(hope ) it will look great when im finish ^^

I'm liking the back and sides. Front bumper could use more vents. And where did you get the LED turn signals?

[Random_Stranger]

I'm liking the back and sides. Front bumper could use more vents. And where did you get the LED turn signals?

I like what he is doing with his unique bumper. I agree with you on the vents though. I would like to recommend either 2-3 diagnal vents where the top points towards the direction they sit away from the mouth of the front end, or 2 bigger holes? so to speak like that 404 lip for the regular celica maybe? But the vents could look pretty sick, since you have vents on your side skirts. Or maybe some fogs with vents around them? I dunno. But I can't wait to see it complete.

[Bakkmagedon]

Hey again! : )
Sorry for late updates, but the building stand still atm. I need to make a frame of the frontbumper i have now, and then make new frontbumper in glasfiber.
The led turner i bought from a norwegian LED-internet store. (www.dioder.no)

This I have done sence last time!







I will post the new stuff soon as possible! : )

Thanks for all comments, the one with the shark was funny!
cya later

[MrAyasli]

LED's look classy.

Give a tutorial on how you did them.

[Bakkmagedon]

Hey everybody!!

Now my car is finally deliverd for the paintjob ; )

The led in turnlights was really just a tryout, I had ordered new ones so I just cut open backside and glued it back together, I dont know if im gonna do this with the new ones, cus the old ones was kinda useless : / Couldnt get it 100% back together.

Will post updates on progress on the car more often now ;D will be more to show ^^

[Bakkmagedon]

New Photos out !!!

[TiGZ461]

Hurry up already,

[Bakkmagedon]

[Bakkmagedon]

[epocsirhc]

[Bakkmagedon]

[Remanight]

I agree with you on that, always have to come back to it, so so nice.

I'm thinking of doing some of my inertia that color, i was thinking what color, and i thought of this one, so im always coming back to this.

Love it

[Haugbjorg]

Congrats man.

[cheela]

I think it would nice with Dual exhaust but very nice

[Bigblock]

Congrats!! Beautiful!!

[captb]

Nice work.

May i ask how you removed and reinstalled the rear windows?

[Bakkmagedon]

Thanks !
I totally agree with you cheela I may turbo charge it and will buildt dobbel exhaust then )
You need to cut you rear windows out, its a ****ty job but its the only way, and just glue it back on.

[Bakkmagedon]

Here is some more photos I took this mornin ^^

[Jrgn]

Looks great

[Bakkmagedon]

Thanks m8

[Bakkmagedon]

MORE PHOTOS!!! x)

[MrAyasli]

Well it's different that's for sure.

Looking good, but where are the LED turns?

[Bakkmagedon]

Its a whole diffrent car now ;p hehe
I couldnt use the led turns sence the frontbumper needs USA mod turnsignals. The european turnlights have more room inside : /
So I have to find another place for them and use it as something else

[SwissFerdi]

I like it. I like it a lot. For a custom job, it is VERY nice.

[Bakkmagedon]

Thanks m8

[mmmchocolate]

MORE PHOTOS!!! x)

looks very similar to me! you did an awesome job on the front though! i love the color choice as well..!

[Bakkmagedon]

Thanks m8

[Haugbjorg]

Ohy, New rims? : D: D: D: D

[Bakkmagedon]

Yeeeah ;D hehe I`ll paint them black this winter ^^

[richee3]

I wondered where this was going.. It didn't turn out too bad at all. That's a beautiful color.

[CastrolCelica]

Just curious, you didn't really post pictures of how you got from the "bearded" look to the more vented look you have now. How were you able to cut out the side vents while keeping them symmetrical?

Either way, the color is very nice and I like what you did with it. How much did it all set ya back?

[Bakkmagedon]

The frontbumper I have on the car now is not the bearded one I was working with before I didnt have the time to finish it now so I bought this frontbumper. "How much did it all set ya back?" I dont know what that means

[CastrolCelica]

The frontbumper I have on the car now is not the bearded one I was working with before I didnt have the time to finish it now so I bought this frontbumper. "How much did it all set ya back?" I dont know what that means

IE: How much did the kit and paint job cost you.

Btw, that makes sense now. I couldn't understand how you got from the first version to the final version. What front end did you end up buying?

[GriffGirl]

Not my taste, personally, but I definitely appreciate the quality of the work, the whole thing looks top notch. Great color choice, I really love how it looks. Now it's time for clear turns on that front bumper

Aaah It cost me around 9000 dollars, the stylingkit was useless so we had many weeks of work just to get the kit to fit the car : / and the kit was very weak so we had to make it stronger aswell. The front is the one from same kit i have on the car, bought from cdw-tuning.de

heheh I understand it didn`t make sence I thought I had written that I bought new frontbumber somewhere in this thread ??

[Bakkmagedon]

Im glad you appreciate it I didnt know that the frontbumper was USA mod before I got it, so my european turns didnt fit : / It really sux cus I bought new ones to 150 dollars and I have put strobes in them, so I cant return them x) But I bought clear turns from ebay friday so I hope they are here soon ;p

Heheheh thats right ; )

[Bakkmagedon]

woop! looks good man, welcome to Club Orange 6gc!

Thanks m8! ;D

[SinisterSinner]

why did you decided to change the front bumper? why didnt you finished your own , originality its better than aftermarket, btw after the foam you just shave exess, fiberglass over it and than sand and paint?

[djseven]

i have the same bodykit





How much did you lower the front? I keep hitting those damn speedbumps.

[jmastaniza]

Wow this turned out very well, great job

[SinisterSinner]

WOW!!! outstanding job there m8!, and it goes well with that euro rear

[Bakkmagedon]

Thanks for comments : D I`m glad you like it ^^

[keison2000]

Heheheh thats right ; )

How long did it take you to do that bumper...did you make the rear too...

[SinisterSinner]

am I the only one that noticed you dont have any front turn signal housing?? you did that so that it would look clear at night?

[Bakkmagedon]

I had to buy the frontbumper cuz I didnt have time to finish the one I was building

heheheh and the turnligts I had was europa mods so they didnt fit the frontbumper cuz its US mod. So I must buy me new turnlights and that sux, because I had bought new european turnsignals and put strobes in them x)

[SinisterSinner]

arghhhhh that sux man!, how about you modify the new bumper instead to fit those lights inthem? eg cut the area of the old turn signals , and the new ones too but with a smaller hole than the one you make on the old bumper that way you could sord of fix it behind, fiberglass behind, and bodyfiller on the front, re paint the bumper and you dont have to spend any money since im assuming you have those materials, that you were going to use on the bumper you were making..., did I solved your problem?now get to work and fix that before having to pay a fine for those signals lol, that way at least you finish making what you started and let us apreciate your master piece

[Nartanian]

The front looks really good. I don't like the rear bumper styling though.

[Bakkmagedon]

Yeah I could make them fit, but it would be alot of work and im a bit tired of working with glassfiber atm x) So Im gonna buy new turnlights in january, or maybe il get it as birthday present! ;P hehehe
Im gonna put more photos out when I have done the little things that needs to be done.

im trying to do somethin similar and if it doesnt work buy a real lip lol but i like trying this stuff the only thing is that i dont know where to buy the foam... where did you get it and what material is it??? thanks and ur car looks nice btw!!!

[96stgreendemon]

home depot, its in the insulation isle

[Ruroniarc]

That foam isn't Great Stuff, is it? It doesn't look as porous as GreatStuff. Also, I would recommend working with that material if you don't have to..

The foam is something carpenter use here in Norway. So a shop that sell all kind of stuff to them should have it : )
Thanks m8 ^^
