not originally, but hopefully i can get a volenteer to have em molded to a coupe... thats a lil ways down the road though...

your grandparents' shop is in Hershey, PA right? thats only a hour or less from me, so I'm willing if you can't find anyone else.

also, I had another idea for something you could make. those red lights at the bottom of the doors. different colors? clear mb? I'm interested in blue, I dunno about everyone else.

Do those lights actually light up on your car? They don't on mine and there aren't even any bulbs behind there.

i think they are reflectors, so it may not be possable but its worth looking into

yours don't light up? mine definetly light up, and I can see the bulb in one of them cause the lense is cracked.
Yeah, they light up......ive often thought about trying to make clear ones.....Good suggestion gh0st >wink.gif>
This is cool, we could get decent ammounts of goodies made for us by us >biggrin.gif> I like the idea of the clear door light covers, the JDM extensions, and clear 94-5 turn signals, and the emblems. Its all cool little stuff that would really accent our cars, and that aftermarket companies would never think of making for us.

i want the emblems >biggrin.gif>
the emblems are in the works as we speak >wink.gif> and ya, its the little accent things that really bring a car togeather, they may not be what stand out to someone when they glance at a car, but they give a fully completed feel to it, then again, sometimes it is the little things that stand out and people remember >biggrin.gif>

Make sure the emblums can be bent to fit the body contours. Also, PLEASE make the extensions fit the coupe also. I would think they would be no different than a Hatch. The coupe is just wider, the body contours are about the same.
Also, you ever think of making CF or aluminum door sills? You know make um say 'Celica' or even have a dragon on em.
i havent but that wouldnt be too hard, i could just make the mold from the stock ones and fill it with a different material... thanks for all the awsome ideas!

EDIT: i >owned.gif> ever page on this thread >smile.gif>

WOW They all sound like some good cosmetics to add too our 6gen. I really find FallonHero`s idea of door sills ,a small but impressive to give the interior some bling. >biggrin.gif>
Hmmm i like the sound of that.

K2 how are things coming along? BTW im gonna own one of these pages.
Door sills would be sweet >biggrin.gif> Good idea FallenHero......ya know what else would be hot??? Diamond plate floor mats for our cars >wink.gif> BTW K2, dont let us get you ahead of yourself......hehehe

HAHA yea, definatly not getting ahead of ourselves, but its cool cuz whenever i need new ideas i can always come back to this thread.

also there was already a GB for some diamond plated floor mats charlie was involved, ask him for the info on them.

as far as i know things are progressing, i talked to my grandparents last weekend and sent them the dragon emblem diagram along with the dimensions so they said they would get on it as soon as they have time and said they would have a test product for me in 1-3 weeks so its progessing >smile.gif> ill keep you updated.

Just get a shop to custom make the diamond mats. Also, XX make sure the emblums are flexable XX

yes yes i know about the emblems needing to be slightly contoured, the first set they send me i will heat up and contour and send back so he can adjust the mold.

Hehehehe, whoops......i knew i should visit Celica.net more often.....
Oh well, i talked to one of my friends last night who's into trucks, and theres a place nearby that specializes in 4x4 stuff and makes diamond plate trim for trucks....i think i can get them made up there >smile.gif>

They won't fit a coupe, thus less people will want them. Keep that in mind.
How does the covers looks like?

They'd look something like this:

yea coomer hopefully similar to that, i was thinking possable more of a vertical oval style rather than the circle, and i will also try to figure out a way to change the reverse light look.

bumper extensions, den the light covers... also, will there be color choices or just a main one that we have to paint? i mean on either one.
ill probably just make em and you guys are on your own as far as paint, i figure it would work better that way b/c you can color match your paint jobs better than i'd be able to and those with custom paintjobs would be SOL if they came prepainted

That's probably the best way to do it. I really hope that you can find someone with a coupe to help with making some of those rear bumper extensions for us coupe owners, because I really want some of those! >biggrin.gif>

I'd like to buy a couple taurus emblems, but it the guy who posted about them on c.net said he couldn't find the company that made them. Maybe the rear bumper extensions, too.
actually the toyota "taurus emblem would probably be easier to make than the celica dragon, but it seems that the dragon is much more popular... so i donno i may still make the taurus ones but im not sure yet...

will wait for em in 3 weeks >biggrin.gif>
