i think it has potential to look good but you will need to do a lot of work on making everything flow.
hope to see what ya do with it!

Ha! you could put Nightrider red LED's in there

It actually doesn't look as bad as it should, but by the time you've spent a load of cash getting that thing to fit properly, it would have been cheaper to get the real deal.


You'll ruin your car if you put that on.

Not a bad idea nice to see some inventiveness off some 1 else shame it doesn't go farther round the corners of the bumper though celicas have a long nose , I used the diffuser off
A renault espace it has 2 vents that look cool and I cut the bottom lip off it and turned it the other way up it fits pretty good

I agree. C'mon, get a proper lip spoiler if you want one. Don't use an upside down trunk spoiler! And what the heck is a v8 logo on your car for?

Wow! You know with all that effort your going to put into that, i dont think its going to work. I am surprised at how much it does look like it could work, but its going to take time and money. All that time and money could be better spent elsewhere on your car, for example, painting it all the same color, getting halfway decent wheels, you know stuff like that.

thanks every one for looking but its not gonna be permanent i was just seeing what it would look like and yes it would be nice if the wing could reach all the way around. i saw a thread on here of someone making their won front bumper well i kinda want my own lip. as far as how much money it will cost idk but its not gonna be permanent but it does look like it could work. YES i knew it was gonna hapen... v8 makes you think...

One question...Why did you cut the upper portion into two piece also? I'm sure you have your reasoning, but you didn't elaborate much on it! I like where your headed now with the "toms" lip idea. Much better than the spoiler, even if the spoiler idea was eventive, it just wasnt attractive. GOOD LUCK with your new mission, and keep the pics coming!

Ok, this is starting off way better than the spoiler. So your going to use that bottom of the bumper cover to fabricate a lip?

You dont like the way it looks stock, or you dont like the TOM's? There are a few different lips floating around. What were you planning on going with?

Wat bumper kit is that on the orange gt4?

trdproven

its not uncommon that people cut the same bottom portion of the same bumper and use it as a lip. thats a better idea than your first. Now will it go on and make a difference? I dunno because it just might go on exactly in the same place where your bumper is now and not look like a lip. You need a way to lower the lip and make it look like one.

appears to be some mix of custom Supra front end (aftermarket front bumper) and GT-Four. I am almost certain I have seen that on a supra before, minus the fog lights.

You're definitely not afraid to try things...but are you sure you don't want to put more energy into your car in general, just fixing things that need attention?

Having said that...good luck with this and I want to see what you do with it.
