Usafiberglass front end Options

[madmods]

I am going to try to make this front end out of a invader. If I cant, maybe the boys at Usafiberglass can. Does anybody like it? Its curves follow our cars.

[ST-204]

If the kit also has a big hole as GT-4, I think it should be better!1

[Sh0gunkid8721]

i like it without that bump on the top. Other than that, i LOVE it.

[madmods]

I got to agree about the bump. I would also like the holes a bit smaller. It looks so much like the ferrari-enzo.modena 360 influence.

[Sh0gunkid8721]

I dont think the holes should be smaller. Thats what makes the kit in my opinion. If the holes were smaller, then it'd look like the 7th gen action package front end and i dont like that.

[XSTeknique]

There's a similar front bumper like that available for the 7th gens, I can't recall the brand though.

[Defgeph]

ur talking about this celica

[Hym3n]

I think (since you seem to have a pretty good knowledge of what you're doing..) that you should find a way to work that bump in the front into a GT-4 hood. It appears to line up pretty well, and it'd be a very badass setup--think about it--custom bumper up to a badass hood. Far as I know, everyone that has the GT-4 hood either has the GT-4 bumper or a modified one that incorporates the bumper vent into it, a GT4-style thing. Yours would be more original than anyones...

I have seen something similar on 7gc....i`m wondering how its going to look on our 6gcs....i like the idea....can somebode photoshop this???

[WannabeGT4]

All I had time to do. Later I'll try and put it on a Celi.

Just finished the photoshop (it's very, very nice IMO.. colors don't match but who cares?) and I need somewhere to host as my site is out of bandwidth right now.

Let me know!

This may work, sorry about the watermark! It looks a lot better on my computer in huge resolution, but you get the idea. I want to work that front grill into the bumper better and make it all more flush with the hood. This is something I could really see madmods doing.. a very extreme style that would take a crapload of custom work. If you can get the 'bump' in the front bumper off that Porsche to line up with a GT-4's nose, then again line up to a GT-4 hood.. I think you'd have one damn sexay car. BTW, the projects/clear hi-beams are off of another GT-4... they add to the look

I think that looks kinda cool..... try taking away the gt4 grill and leaving out the little hump.

very cool

i dont think i like it...i dunno

[celicaofsin]

I love it...

[madmods]

Heres a quick photoshop I did. Im willing to buy a new invader front end and send it to USAFIBERGLASS with these pictures and tell them to make it. Im willing to do this -this week. Anybody want to do a group buy? Its kike the only front end I have ever liked.

[madmods]

ooops forgot the pic

[turboinduction]

now if those pillars went straight up and down and you had a couple more... you'd have the stock 94 Celica bumper.

[Hym3n]

I think that now it looks a little too plain. Granted, ANY front bumper is going to look nice on some projectors and a GT-4 hood... but picture it on just a plain car... it won't be that spectacular. The vent really makes the difference IMO, or at least a Toyota symbol.

-brian

[Defgeph]

I like the way that looks. simple yet different very nice

[PhillyGuy086]

Imo, i think the way it is being photochopped right now it comes down too far. i think that the openings need too be closer to the lights. i dont think i needs too be right below the lights but about halfway between where it is now and the bottom of the lights, if someone could try nad do that i think it would look better. just a thought

[WannabeGT4]

How's this look?

[madmods]

Awesome!!!!!!! For some reason I really like this bumper.

[Defgeph]

can you try to bring the mouth up alittle higher and add some more to the base of that mouth. I think thats nice

[WannabeGT4]

How's this?

[WannabeGT4]

Sorry Defgeph... I posted this before I read your post so I didn't do anything to the base. Have at it though if you wanna give it a try. I like it like this though. Oh yeah, Bkohler, I hope you don't mind me using your picture.

I never knew photoshop could be so fun. Maybe I should start looking into jobs doing this stuff.

[playr158]

that looks better, maybe make the holes a lil smaller(heighth wise that is) , and a gt-4 vent?!

[Hym3n]

Looks great and all, but like I said.. it's not going to look half as good without projectors. In both pictures so far the cars have projectors (mine were photoshopped on...), but it really adds to the effect. Picture a normal Celica with that bumper and it's not that different from a 7th gen, just has a rounded nose and a sharper grill area.

-brian

[blkGT]

nothing special. it needs the gt-4 vent on the top.

[OOBE]

I'm not feeling the middle partition in the bumper. Open all the way or leats at 90 degree angle would look better IMHO.

[Defgeph]

I think its looks great! but what about turn signals ?

DEf

[WannabeGT4]

This is with the gt4 grill. I think that if the signals were installed at the top left and right of the side openings and set back a little that'd look good but I don't have time right now.

[Hym3n]

Needs Toyota badge as well. Dunno if usafiberglass would do that, but IMO it'd make it look much better. Plus it'd add to the "wtf?"-factor...

-brian

PS: Your photoshop skills are either very very good or you're taking a lot of time to do each one. I like it, keep up the good work!

[WannabeGT4]

the first one on the red celi (bkohler's) took about an hour but that's cause I had to color match the kit and trim and fade and smudge and blur. after that it's been about 5 to 25 minutes a piece. GT4 grill being the easiest at about 5 min. then bringing the kit up a little cause I didn't save it as PSD just jpeg so I lost all my layer information and had to improvise.

[KAMiX]

Too square for our car IMO & the lines are all wrong... I don't like it.

[van95st]

just imagine the size of intercooler you could shove up in there, that front looks like it sticks out alot further than stock.

[van95st]

the turn signals would look good at the bottom corners where those indentations are


how about a cross member running horizontally across the whole peice that might make it more structurally sound.
