404a Lip Modified, pics inside SS404 Options

[Jaws4God]

*First Off*
I know my car is spray paint, and not professionally done. But I wanted to see what you all thought of this.. ONLY

I was getting tired of fixing my front lip, and I planned to get some ssIII splitters, but before I did, my friend suggested I just modify my 404 lip to "simulate" the look ... I liked how it turned out, curious what you all thought.. maybe call it SS404? lol

[CelicaST_CALI]

[Jaws4God]

im gonna be honest i dont like it


where have ya been jaws??

its ok, thanks for being honest.. i'm still thinking about SSIII splitters.. just don't have doh to really consider yet..

i've been checking the site here and there.. but to be honest, when I got bashed for my spray paint job I just lost respect for the site so I just don't come on here much or post much...

[CelicaST_CALI]

i think its great....i mean ur not a pro or anything(or are u)?,its a great design!!!!!

[96bluevert]

It's a cool idea, just doesn't look completely right. If you could do some extra fiberglass work and have them blend with the bumper more, I think that would look pretty good. Though they sort of complement your paint job (not meant as an insult to the paint job). Honestly, for using spray cans you did a really good job and I like the design.

[Athorn]

I think your paint job looks great. Dont listen to what people say... At least you are original...damn i you lived by me i would have you paint my car.

[pandakid]

i think that paint is nice for cans looks nice

haters can buzz off man, and the "splitters" you made go with the paint job... now your car has "jaws" lol. i like it. i'm gonna stop looking for splitters for you, so that you have to keep that

[manphibian]

Not too big a fan of the bumper. But its innovative, your cars always been that.

It sucks that you stopped posting cuz of a few d*ck comments, your cars one of the cars i always look forward to seeing what you've done next.

Keep doing what you do, its who you are and f*ck everyone else.

Well it just gets old when I am excited about trying something different and not getting any positive feedback.. but this thread is helping out.

Thank you everyone for the comments.

[geetje]

Don't be put off by people that give negative feedback.

Everybody has their own opinion, so don't take it to personal, I like what you did with the paintjob.
It shows that you have a unique style.

I just love your rims, what brand are they?

I'm getting my car painted next week together with my Euro splitters.
It's just getting a toyota red again with some dents removed and all the panels the same colour again.

I guess the difference was I don't mind people not liking it and saying why... but when I got things like "i wouldn't be caught dead driving around in that"... it was just too far.

They are Focal's custom painted silver / gunmetal

[Jaws4God]

I wanted to thank everyone for the comments on this thread as well as those who PMed or IMed me. It means a lot to know some people on here still care about the people and efforts instead of results. I think there is still hope for 6gc.net.

[LastOfTheSTs]

I have to agree about the wheels - they are awesome!

[Random_Stranger]

Points for being original. I believe no matter what it looks like, originality should always be recognized. Honestly though, not that it matters much coming from me, but I liked it better without the modification. Although you did mention you had to keep fixing it, so I can understand that. That's just my thoughts on it. And like everyone said, those wheels are HOT!

[GriffGirl]

It's not my cup of tea either but definitely big points for being original! I just happen to be really picky anyway about stuff like that... I really like the comment though that your car has jaws now, I think that's actually a perfect way to describe it and actually made me think twice about my original thoughts on it. So eh, not for me, but I think it's actually awesome for you and you should totally keep it that way.

I was wondering why you hadn't been on the site much... knowing why now makes me kinda sad. Don't let a bunch of idiots ruin it for you. Some people are just too stupid to be able to think constructively and formulate actual valid opinions. I know I miss you on here and we don't even know each other. You should definitely come back, I'm sure you'll be coming into open arms on here.

you know, i've noticed that about celica owners... as much as we rip on and bash each other on here at times, anytime anyone needs a hand, there's always somebody (the bashers more often than not) willing to help. not like those honda guys. we have that camaraderie. stick around man, and hey, i'm part of the rattle can crew now too .

[easternpiro1]

You already got my PM to that effect but one more thing I'd like to point out - it's obvious you have friends here. The haters come and go and hate all the more cause noone values their opinons

[Jaws4God]

Thank you everyone!

how the drag on it?

oh no, they tried to get me to but i'm not into racing it.... now maybe when I do start and finish my 5sfte project..who knows.. lol

My only thing is maybe you could round the two sharp points just a little bit.

yeah i was originally gonna cut more off on the sides to make them look like SSIII splitters.. but with how they are designed, i couldnt' figure out a good place to trim without the lines not flowing right..

if anyone has any ideas, let me know

[stevest202]

i like it and its very different and im glad that you have the balls to try different things keep it up

[illneversellmyce...]

[brthrurik]

I like it, plus now I have an Idea of what it will look like with a modded toms lip... And as far as the paint job, you are the only one that matters as far as liking it...

[CelicaST_CALI]
