Can't forget his dad, seems like it's in his genes to be good with plaster. lol If only we were all so fortunate for real.

 

the fitment is awesome. i like your attention to detail!

 

It's an aftermarket front bumper. Most aftermarket front bumpers will not fit perfectly anyways. Like he says in the first post, "This kit was from a car in Japan, had been installed, hurt, fixed, hurt again, and the car finally bought by a US company to cut into a front clip."

 

damn, what it take you like 100000x hrs to get that done? much props to you for diy it looks good.

 

I am amazed and impressed on the work and creativeness that went in to This project! Let that be a lesson to us all with buying cheap aftermarket body kits! there are tons of companys and only a handfull actualy build them to bolt right on! Great job!

 

Great work on that bumper, now it looks like it came from the factory like that w/the intercooler in placed.

 

Thanks for all the props ya'll...!! I don't get much chance to work on my car these days, so I try to make it count when I do something... I have a few more posts up my sleeve, I did all LED lighting all around, and I did a full leatherseats.com install as well. I will makes install threads for those soon. I also have power folding mirrors to install, and a bumper/fender pole to install soon. After I get those done, I will be making a big brake upgrade, and removing the Supra TT front calipers. That will take a little bit more time than the other projects as I have to develop, CAD, CAM, program, machine, test, and anodize the aluminum adaptors for the calipers that I will be using. Does anyone have an extra rear spindle assembly laying around? I would rather not have my car on the lift dead for weeks!

Very nice ! Is the plaster material expensive ?
I have started a BBK using wilwood rotors, hats and 4piston calipers. I drew up the bracket in CAD and have tried to get estimates but have been unsucessfull getting responses...

 

wow, you did really good! That is an awesome result that you have achieved. Wish I could manipulate fiberglass and molds like that.

 

damn carl you always seem to amaze me. Im glad i sent my car out to you for the swap. always have quaility work.
