Well, from one point yes i can give this out easy, from another look - there are some technic and methods what no one wants do disposal to a public...

I will do a How to later on the run along with few other how-to's, how to create the simple add on parts, and it will cover all the basic steps needed..

MR2's are such ugly cars. They're so nice though. I love them. I would trade the Celica for one in a second. You've really got your work cut out for you trying to make one of those things look pretty. I've got faith in you. You're one of my favorite designers. You need to pump out some more stuff, and have a place were you could show off all your work at once. I don't know that I've ever seen your post a website or anything.

looks fantastic!

the bottom part reminds me of the 6gc front end, none-of-the less one of the most beutifull body kits i've seen. It looks so agressive yet OEM at the same time.

keep up the good work doggy!
Thats absolutely beautiful doggy! I don't know where you get the time with your cars and all your projects.
I think you should build a completely new front end for the 6th gc.

This is Next on my Project list for a 6gc wink.gif But im leaning toward the some sort of lip kit instead of Full bumpers kit...

This would save some $ on shipping and wount look overdone.

Very nice work man, I keep doing little fiberglass projects here and there, my biggest yet is my new cargo cover, to make a bumper that looks that good and fits that great, I give you hella respect, this stuff takes so much work, you got some serious skill that bumper looks great, not over the top at all, very even/clean work.
That bumper looks really nice, im always really impressed with your work.

I vote on a wide body kit!!! Something that looks nice, not too over the top, but adds to the curves.
