[i will add the positive with positive and negative with negative votes]
I want to start making custom parts for Celicas, I know how to mold plastic, its one of my passions too, and I love designing new things, and a good start would be designing celica parts while making my own kind of car using the celica engine and frame,while using the same molds to make those parts for you guys and also taking custom orders, designing on paper uploading the design and shoing how it could look like and if the costumer likes it, ill make the molds shape the plastics, putting everything toguether and upload a photo of it if customer likes it, ill make the other one and ship them.
sounds good or not?
i havent been ale to get some quotes of suppiers because i've been busy trying to replace the drive axles, but the big nut and the center of the disk its too hard, my father even broke the big rachet or whatever thts called, and still te nut is there, and before anything we sprayed DW-40 or what ever that penetrant foami oil is called and its just too hard, tomorrow im off to a real mechanic to see if they can get that thing out, than after i will try to get some price quotes on the acrilics and polycarbonate, to be able to give a some what accurate price, but my guess/goal is about 50-140$ usd to make affordable tail/head/foglight covers, that you guys would just need to pry off the old and in with the new, my goal is to make affordable covers that would make your cars get an awesome custom look without paying rediculus prices. like a wesite i went looking for tail light covers that werelike for 400$ which is tremendously ridiculus, also my goal its to probably make a store that I could make a living of and work to do what I love. which is making custom things just about anything , maybe in the next 2 months I will make something with a custom molded plastic, to improve how my celi looks and if you guys like it then take it as an example of what i can do for you guys too, just give me a vote and let me know what you think.
I'm planning to make aerodynamic headlamp covers that might replace the OEM one or just mount on it, depends on what you want!, also tail light covers that would be clear/smoked/custom designs/extruded, and custom tails themselves with different shapes or imitations of BMW or mercedez, that would fit celicas without modifications, but some painting required to match the car's color, and look almost authentic , but if i do this, i woul ship the lights masked ready for paint and installation. and MAYBE LED tail light comversions, using all american LEDs guaranteed not to burn out with within weeks like cheap chinese LEDs/ also us LEDs are brighter, and many colors available, will continue adding info later
just give me vote so far
edit1 - i could make certain design with different requests from you guys and and if you like it illmake a prototype show a video and some pics and if you guys agree on that it would be cheaper because i wouldnt have to spend on more molds, but just use the same

these are some Great ideas!!! if i were you i would open just a normal bodyshop or costum shop u know you might get more out of it that way but hell that my thing with the front lip idea, they only maje very few lips for our cars and i making my own and who knows if people like it and sell it for a bit less who knows you could make some good money... all i know is that if you open a shop and pay good you got your first employee here nah for real. i thoght if we ALL were a little closer to each other we can have like a weekend thing just to hang out at the shop and hang out and do some work. my friends and i are looking for a plcae here but they got hondas so you just never know.

the problem of making a garage to work on the car is... getting the garage on the first place lol, also I rent on a house that doesnt has a garage, I'm planning to do all this things on the balconi [or whatever is called] on the back of the house, there is enough room for fitting the machines and also the smell of toasted plastic wont get inside the house lol, my sister would kill me lol, and about the lip thing you are working on Please update, I would love to see how its coming out! , and that would be like the coolest thing if we could get toguether all of us and make a celi autoshow or something, freakin awesome!
