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

It looks to me like the bumper you have hangs lower than the bumper in the picture I posted. If you shave yours right there, I think it'd look alright. The trunk lid of the Supra sits up a lot higher from the tail lights than the Celica trunk lid, so the 3rd brake light idea might be a terrible idea. I just like how it's wider than the Celica 3rd brake light so in my mind, it'll flow better with the wider tail lights. I'm really not a fan of trying to make a Celica look like a Supra, but you're doing some pretty good work and I definitely respect that. Besides, you've got the red Celica with the JDM tails and SS-III splitters, so why not do something different with the orange one? No point in making the two look exactly alike.

Yeah I was going to put the 3s in the new celica I bought, and do all the exterior mods (never expected to buy the second car for so cheap). Until bought tinas celica (Iluvmyceli95), and its already really nice, so why ruin it. And like he said, why build two up the same? the one is 'jdm' and "nice" looking, while the other is alot more "aggressive".
Yeah i see what you mean by the bottom, its just cause mine is an after market bumper, and its hitting on the tow hooks. If I can get the tow hooks out, it will "fall back" alot more. And i can also raise it up and attach it to the spare wheel well, so its up higher..... not sure if that made any sense.
But if it ends up being still too much, I can shave it down easy.
And thanks for the props from everyone, I got a good second layer of bondo on today (they are only like 1/8" layers, nothign crazy I do know it can crack if theres alot) But I am helping my friend put his front bumper back together after he hit a curb lol, So I have to wait a bit to do anything.
