Tom's ST-II ?, ST bumper + GT Four hood + Tom's lip + more HP's? Options

[Urputus]

I was thinking about some modifications of the exterior of my facelifted ST since PECM 2007, which was a great inspiration to me. First I wanted to add a Tom's lip, but it wasn't easy to get one to Czech republic, …an original one. Then I saw the making of Malpaso’s SS-Four and realized that just Tom’s lip would not be enough for me . So I asked Malpaso to help me finding a solution, where I can use the parts I already have and create something unique.

The final idea was presented in this topic for the first time. Just to recall what's going to happen to the car:
- the ST/GT bumper will stay untouched;
- shave the gap in front of the GT-Four hood to fit ST/GT bumper;
- use OEM JDM-dealers option front lip (well known as TOM'S lip);
- use OEM Euro-dealers option rear lip;
- use OEM side skirts;
- and may be change of paint color.

I was wandering how to name this project. Martin used the name GT-II, but I'm afraid that this name was already used by some guy in Croatia? As I don't know this for sure, let's make it Tom's GT-II (without the smile of course )

In the first phase of the project most of the interior parts were dismantled before we went to bodyman. Only the dashboard, steering wheel and front seats were left in the car. Here are some pictures from the projects “first hour”:








In the second phase the hood will be modified to fit the ST/GT front bumper and there is some necessary work on other parts of the car – to prevent rust, repair some dents etc. This will happen within next two weeks. I hope I get some pictures from the bodyman so we don't have to wait two weeks for the progress .

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It burned my eyes man!!!

That is INTENSE!!!Can't wait to see it with everything installed!!!

Thanks kavy! I hope your eyes will heal soon, as I hope new pictures will come this week. I'm going for the car on wednesday or thursday, so I'll do as many pictures on the way home, as possible. Only hope that everything will be ok on the car, as there were not many occasions to check the results during the project.

I have a metallic blue Lexus (Intensa Blue Pearl IS 300) and let me tell you, it's a great color. But I don't think it would work on a Celica. It just isn't the right shade of blue. The color you picked looks great and fits the car a lot better than this blue pearl. I can't wait to see the finished product. You might be starting a new trend on 6gc.

Thanks again richee3. You are right with the blue color. I liked it but couldn't imagine it on my car. Therefore I kept looking for other color and I found this.
