Supra Rear Conversion, Basically done Options

[mgnt232]

NEWEST PROGRESS- Always my posts that say "NEW NEW NEW"

Ok so I bought the supra lights 2 weeks ago, and ordered the supra rear bumper last week, and its coming from manhattan (only a 3 hour drive from me) so I should have it very soon.
Im going to take a ton of pics, and sort of step by step it, since no one really has. Essentially doing the same thing 0re0 did, with some of my own twists.

Also as I suspect the bumper is going to take alot longer than it should, because people never just ship things out. Always wait a week Im going to try some other things in the mean time.
Thats why i need some pics of the gt4 grill modded into a non gt4 bumper, like my invader. I know the pics are out there, ive seen them before, but after a half hour of looking and not finding I figured maybe someone would remember the member name? hopefully.
Also making some fender vents, not sure of the style just yet, but it just seems pretty easy. If anyone has pics of some custom fender vents Id love to see them. Maybe get some new ideas.
Thanks for any help, and ill post as soon as I get the bumper in

NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW NEW

So i actually got the bumper today (bought it 4 days ago!). Also came with the side pieces, which the seller specifically told me it didnt, and they were for sale for an additional $80! So i got those for free

Started to do a little bit of work with it, but ive been up since 3am so I didnt feel like doing much, about an hour in so far.

Anyway got it, and measured everything to get it centered. Contemplated it for a while, and got it bolted on to start.
Unfortunately a friend borrowed my good grinder, so i was stuck trying to do it with the crappy one that barely had anything left. So i got tired of it after most of the first one.

So heres some pictures. Ill try to make a huge post when its basically done, with time progression pics, and explanations. But for now, Im not even all that sure what im doing But its getting there. All starting to make sense in my head

Took the old bumper off


Put what I had left of rustproof rubberized undercoating on, just for safe measures since it will never be back off lol


Just got it




Beginning grinding. I made it too small. But on purpose, better than grinding off too much.






First test fit. I got it alot closer just a few mins ago, Ill get better pics tomorrow


Like i said alot more grinding to do. More on the inside really, outside is almost done on this side. Im just being cautious with the grinding. Trying to get it near perfect, and not taking too much out.


Little closer, although it doesnt look like much


Just a Pic of both on



Ill hopefully get that side done tomorrow, if the rain holds off. Then Ill start the other side. Im going to save the sides for last, although I have a pretty good idea how its going to work


Also huge thanks to deathdoakill, gave me some great info
