nick, I think the reason a lot of them "flammed' so quickly is because we were all under the impression that the OTHER one was to made, not the one madmods showed us. so it was like: wtf? who what where when!/

Doggy is right te celi should have a kit that compliments the CURVES of the body. I definatly want to see his design(s). I am one of his biggest fans and have bought his "products" and i ma very happy with them.

As for a car being taken in for USAfiberglass to work on Ill do it if you guys want. Its not a problem for me. I just need to make sure that it is here in Riverside,Ca, not some other state. Maybe i can take a trip over there to take a look at the place for you guys too.

Anyway i hope this turns out to be a good kit.

Almost Boosting,
David

Uh... madmods likes it and he personaly is getting this done for himself and putting up all the cash for it so I don't even think this is going to effect that other design you all like so much. maybe I'm wrong but with phrases like "one-off" it sounded like something he was having done once so they weren't even going to make a mold for it unless other people want one.

I was bored. here is a better angle of it on a celi.

that looks worse than what X already has on (no offense to his taste >>

Yeah, I know, I just like photoshop >>.

EDIT: Oh yeah madmods I tried to photoshop that other kit and it didn't look good at all, and all these people flaming this other kit kinda has me down, makes me feel unapriciated (kinda like doggy feels I'm sure). Which reminds me, Doggy where are those drawings at. We would love to see them. Everyone else through out a couple ideas and I'll do my best to photochop them onto a celi.

Guys I agree with the motion that the celica has curves. I think its got the sexiest sides any car you can ask for. Thats why i still have not bought any sideskirts yet. The pakfeifer sides are just wrong, and I have yet to find any side skirts I like for this car. I like both the porsche and noble m14, but Im also looking at the edonis front end. I also like the front end of the 2000 acura usafiberglass made a kit for. I like the M14, but its a square kit. Not a problem Lets round the sides to make it follow the celica curves. Im also looking at the edonis front end. Im on rapidcars.com looking at interiors and body styles for different ideals.
Now you guys are taking the drawings as bible. They are not. They are basically starting ideals Im going to show the fabricator to see what he can do with them. Square bodies can easily get a rounded shape to them. So lets not get all hyped up about these photos.

I figured we were not all going to agree, so this is a one-off project for me.
I believe the celica has potential to look like a wide-bodied supercar. Im personally not into the gt-4 look. Sorry but thats my opinion. Its like I have the finnished picture in my head of the car I want to build.

The problem with the group buy I had at the beginning was that I wanted a wide body rear end. Theres 95% hatchbacks hereon this site, so with me being a coup, Im out of luck. The bodys are 2 different. I knew this was going to happen, so thats why lets just make this a custom project for me. You guys can get the group buy going, Ill help anyway i can, would love to see all the ideals and doggys sketches. Also has anybody noticed that the mercedes Cl500(ithink thats the model) has the exact same sides as the celica? hmmmm aftermarket sideskirts????

Im sending in money to buy a new vader front end, so the can use the headlight part and sides as a starting point. This is for my project. Im kind of leaning towards the custom acura front end they made, but Im still looking at ideals. This is for the front clip only. I bought the pakfiefer rear end yesterday of their website, and found the tailights rom a kitcar car company that are going to be molded.

So to recap here guys, no hate, but Im going after a new look, I know its possible. I can see the finished result in my head. >>

I might be in for a front bumper, depending on what doggy comes up with, but only if its in poly too.

doggy if you don't post up your draft of a new kit i'll fly out there and woop on you. cause your kit is killer, if you don't so help me i wanna see your idea

Heres a custom acura front end in progress from usafiberglass. This would be a easy mold for them.

If you gonna wait a bit, i will post all pictures after the weekend. i will have time just to make everything right. Cuz i will try to make a scetch of Sides, rear, and fron. I hade this idea for month and didnt hade time to make it real on my car. So, atleast it may help you guys to creat your own kit. On monday, im posting photoshops, hand draws and other stuff. So, if you have some patience - wait. if not, then what ever. >>

-doGGy+Jun 25, 2004 - 5:44 AM

well, had a bit time so made a side scetch:

It is just one of the variations of the kit im drawing.



Still have to finish the front and rear look, and after that the big part, photoshoping the real image will go...

So, just a one simpel scetch, you deside...

doggy i think that side skirt looks incredible...cant really tell bout the front or rear though...you are quite talented

This is the one variation of the front:

see guys thats it. its clean its simple. but you look at it and your like whoa. i wanna see that on a car >>

I love the side, but I don't like the front because it has the sides of the everybody's bodykit. If it had more bumper area and went down lower, it would be perfect. But the side look...WOW.

i like the front except for the extralong gt vent i dont know if that is soppes to be like that or not.

-madmods+Jun 25, 2004 - 12:32 AM

how bout something for our coupe rear bumpers as well, some of us dont like paying a body shop to lengthen a kit for us

by the way doggy i love the design so far

looks cool so far doggy, anyway to include wide body fender flares in there? i know that most people seemed to like the widebody idea. that coupled with your smooth flowing designs would look incredible. btw, thanks for offering your help to us for idea's.

I love doggy's idea. Amazing talent too. >>

Doggy I don't know how you do it, but you've got some serious talent. Looks Amazing!I think this kit looks best so far.

Dog is God.

Bored again... Hope you don't mind Doggy... Don't wanna step on any toes... This is just my style... Didn't get around to change the sideskirts though... They were pretty nice as is.



Note to Self... Shift key in photoshop draws straight lines...

good stuff both doggy and wannabe....but two things

first applies to doggy's drawings, the front part of the sideskirts, right where it meets the wheel well, looks a little high i think you need to bring it down some, so that the skirt is even with the front bumper, wannabe made them even.

wannabe, now that you've spiced doggy's version up a bit you need to think about the front more, the way you have the front looking from the side is like a WALL. a flat line(when i look at the side rendering i think automatically from the side that there will be a HUGE mouth on it) try curving the front give it some shape. the celica is based off of gentle curves think about that.

but great work

played around with it some more... next thing I'm gonna play with is the front view. Little bit intimidated by doggy though he's got some good stuff but my tastes are a little more simple.

The first concept is my favorite, I'd totally be down with that, providing the rear and front shots are good enough. I'd rather have the second concept's rear valence on the first one. I love those skirts on #1 Wannabe!
