PS- I'm not a photographer.

EDIT - and for the GT4 hood and bumper. smile.gif

looks almost exactly like mine tongue.gif
i like how your blocks are molded, very good job.
btw, the front emblem from the old bumper fits the gt4 bumper (if you don't plan on covering the holes, that is)
also, it looks like you're using your stock crash bar, but maybe at least paint it black....
but other than that, the car looks great with the new paint job..

Yeah I was going to paint the crash bar black then got excited and wanted to put everything back together. That will be something to do one weekend when I'm free. I didn't know that the stock emblem fits the bumper but thats good news. Thanks man.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

I've been working on the car all summer. I bought the front bumper, sideskirts, rear splitters, spoiler and fenders from Jarco, Inc. locally for 1000 bucks total. It sort of worked out because I didn't have to pay shipping. I ordered the hood from Toyota for 657 including all of the pieces. I got the Tails and the clear indicators from a member on here locally for around 180 total maybe? I got the rear visor on ebay for 72 dollars including shipping.

I had 15 or 16 dings in the car that I spent about 40 hrs or so fixing all of them and then sanding the whole car down and fixing a few rust spots. I probably spent ~100 bucks on supplies. I had to repair both sideskirts were cracked badly and I fiberglassed the spoiler into one piece. I also had to weld two plates where the wiper and the antenna used to be but I got that done for free by a friend.

Paint cost me ~1500 dollars. I had the whole car stripped down when I took it to paint to try and save me money.

Anyway, I've probably got about 3500 dollars in the exterior of the car now. I could have had a 5s turbo set up for that kind of money but I decided to go for looks first smile.gif.
