bodywork upgrade questions

Subject: bodywork upgrade questions Sat Jun 23, 2012 9:23 pm

Hi guys,
i have been toying with the idea of going for a much cleaner look for my corolla.
I will be going to go with a fx-gt front end..

My question is that the other parts i need will be hard to get.

What sideskirts can i use? I want to be as close to the toyota ones and go with the lines of the fx bumper..

What rear lip to use? Iv got another euro rear bumper so will have to cut to fit numper plate, but what lip would fit that bumper?

I will start to fit it on car once i have all the parts.. If i can get parts then hopefully have it all done by end of july.

:O I was totally wanting to go Subaru look too, but I was refraining since Chrises rolla died, it gave yours a uniqueness. This is a surprise.

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 5:22 am

haha, just want a change tbh..

if i cant get the parts then im sticking with the subaru look lol!

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 6:08 am

i like

its an integra dc2 front lip

I like it. but I also liked the look of your fog lights with the Subaru bumper. but that looks good too. It would look even better with some black signals Very Happy

and with your new grill!

New grille would definitely fit in better with the FX-GT bumper.

That gray car looks superb! lights, bumper, grille, color, lip. All flows nicely.

IMO, if you only use the FX bumper, you won't need sides or a rear lip. Maybe that would be a good start? You should be able to get the FX bumper easily... if you don't already have one lol

haha

i dont have one YET, lol
but i want the full kit tbh.. front, skirts and rear Razz

, or i could use my subaru skirts minus the blocks

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 11:12 am

You have subie skirts on now? The only part I don't like about the lips now is the bulky bits around the wheels... are those the blocks you mean?

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 11:15 am

yeah i have subaru 4 piece skirts on.. and yeah the bulky bits are the blocks im talking about

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 11:16 am

Is there some way to have a clean flowing lip without the blocks? Or is it too hard to make it smooth.

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 11:18 am

the blocks can be removed no problem on the skirts rear bumper would be a little harder to do but can be done...
if i find the perfect rear lip then i will just use my other rear bumper and re-do it with the lip..

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 11:20 am

I don't think anyone has ever found the perfect rear lip... even Scott had to improvise bigtime!

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 11:24 am

haha true, but he has a caldina rear lip, which looks awesome...

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 11:40 am

No reason for you to have the same lip! Yours is unique, one of a kind, and I'll never see it again.

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 11:47 am

haha you know me tooo well, but tbh im kinda getting a bit bored with the subaru look, thats why i want to go down the jdm look..

give the corolla the honour it deserves.. then it will be a proper sleeper... wolf in sheeps clothing as no-one would ever expect a corolla to be as quick as mine here in the uk

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 12:01 pm

Thing is.. yours already IS quick! So the subie look is fitting!!

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 12:04 pm

another fx bumper with the same lip.. needs slight modification to fit though

haha i know, but when i go past or pull up behind someone, they usually think its a subaru, that is until i go past them and they read what it says on the garnish lol!

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 1:23 pm

I love that car right there, one of my all-time favorite rollas!

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Jun 24, 2012 5:37 pm

That lip looks like a BZ-T lip, I don't think there was ever a rear lip made for the sedan, although the BZ-T rear lip looks quite good on the sedan, (4ageboi) has 1.

I think your colour with the FX bumper is an awesome combo

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Mon Jun 25, 2012 11:21 am

i have a fxgt and it only has a front lip the rear is the same as the 4 door apart from the twin tail pipes

Subject: Re: bodywork upgrade questions Sun Aug 05, 2012 5:57 am
