Some extreme Bodywork, Opinions Options

[6th_celi_vert]

Before i roll the car in for paint (next month) i was wanting to Do something Extremely Custom to my front end.

Here are two of my ideas. Tell me what you think, im not soft, bash all you want.

PS: Im aware these are $hitty chops, i did it quickly.





Shaved High beams. (as in, there wouldnt be any...period)


Shaved High beams and turn signal vents (no high beams, signals mounted inside grill out of sight when not lit)

I thought about this back in the day, the idea was not well received. After I saw an old photoshop of coomer's car w/out high beams, I didn't want to do it either.

i think it takes away from the beauty of our celicas

[ra65_22re]

im all in for some more custom work but it doesnt look right at all. you have the body lines from the hi-beams that go right to the hood. the head lights look really small now though. would the bumper just be flat where the hi-beam was? the blinkers would look fine smoked.

[Chanh55]

Looks nice if you have absolutely no taste.

the high beam question involving the lines of the hood is one thing that ive been pondering on and trying to wrap my mind around.. If push came to shove, it would involve chopping up my carbon fiber hood and then having to paint it the same color as the car.<--doubt thats gonna happen, i love my carbon to much.

gawd i love honesty

no highs look like a neon

[6th_celi_vert]

yeah, ive diminished the idea of no highs after thinking about the hood lines and what not, but i do think im gonna go with shaved blinker vents.

[dagreat1]

i'm for the shave blinkers

[CelicaGT04]

I dont like the idea of shaved highs at all, that is just my opinion. As far as the marker slots, i think it would look good molded shut and mounted a different way. Like mold the air vent (hole) shut and then recut into the fiberglass and some diff way mount the turns. I think that would look hot.

[DeW_H0e_GT]

id say leave it as is....and prolly cut out a vent in the middle jus liek a gt-four...my humble opinion

[ZacMan1987]

That's a fine way to put it if you want to be a dick.

Did another thought make it out onto the page???

But no. I don't really dig it. One thing that really attracted me to Celicas is that 4 light combo, and the lines of the hood just flow so well into those 2 front lights. I think it would look wrong without them.

One recomendation I have is for your blinkers..... You know how high end cars have turns on the backside of their side mirrors? They are little LED slits and maybe using that idea instead of your blinkers would be a cool mod imo.

I'd say it looks like a larger size Del So.

eww.

[airfron]

the lines of it definitely wouldn't look right imo
i think that clear turn signals would look better though than the no turn signals
and like DeW H0e GT said a center vent would look nice

[hitcachi]

no highs look like a neon

[sinner96ST]

that looks horrible.

if the 6th gens only had 2 headlights, i wouldn't have bought it, honestly. the whole 'look' comes with the 4 seperate headlights, you don't find that on many cars at all.

Looks like the neons headlights. Would never do that..now maybe the supra headlights. Wanna photoshop that

[slvr_celica_GT_8...]

to be honest with yea i think the shaved high beams makes the car look stupid, no offence

[115celi]

I agree, it completely takes away the identity of the celica.

I think this would look hot. I did something similar, but i put fog lights in instead of the turn signal.

[j0e_p3t]

[6th_celi_vert]

So ive decided the high's are staying. Im gonna do the Shaved blinkers, and am thinking on the vent in middle. Not sure yet.

[KB-2]

That Bucking Flows!
if you catch my drift...
keep the highs.

[azian_advanced]

[ExSane]

Its just too !!!RICEY!!! to be doing that. If you are going to make a car look different but keeping the identity of a car, keep it CLEAN.

Look at the difference between these two cars.

RICE


and

NICE

I personally don't like the shaved high beams look but how about just make black covers (the tinted kind where the light still gets through) that come flush with the bumper. that way you kinda get the look and can still use your high beams and not worry about the hood lines.

Yeah I totally agree.

[jayi12-15psi]

those are the pics of coomers car I asked for over a year ago. Didn't look good then , dosen't look good now. Wish it did, but it doesn't

whats rice and whats nice is purely a matter of opinion. I myself have never been a fan of vinyl or spoilers. period. But i still respect anyone who does have them because if they like it...then good, its their car. And no im not going to shave the highs, upon further investigation, it would a whole lot bigger pain in the ass than what its worth anyway even if i did really like it.

[XS4lv1Truch0x]

woah, dont do it, you would regret it. i dont think it would even be considered a celica no more lol

more like a porsche

[6th_celi_vert]

Well, out of confusion and frustration...

Im just gonna shave everything. LOL.

[DeW_H0e_GT]

[MaskedMan]

[6th_celi_vert]

lol, im gonna mount my headlights in my windsheild and use the old fashioned arm out the window for turning signals.

[soulshadow]

Plz. go buy a neon.

[Culpable04]

I know we all have diferent tastes but sh*t you're really pushing to the limit, if that's what you want go for it but don't get mad when someone in a cavalier laugh at you

[playr158]

wow your really ummm intelligent if you believe that statement......

[6th_celi_vert]

umm...i guess sarcasm just doesnt show very well over the internet.


oh yeah, the neon statement was actually kind of offensive.
