anyone fit a gt-4 front without the hood? - 6G Celicas Forums

I was wondering if it's possible to get the gt-4 bumper to fit with the stock usdm hood?
expect a small gap between the hood and the bumper...thats what others say.

It's been done. This car belongs to CeliBria.
yea if you look closley at the center section you can see how its been pulled down to meet the hood...kinda looks like a big dent..

Yea, i noticed the dent. But it's going to be temp. until i can get the hood, I ordered all the parts through toyota, the bumper and all those pieces will be here monday, But the hood is on back order and they don't know how long it'll take to get in.
well if your getting the hood, i'd suggest just installing it properly and not worry about the gap...i wouldnt wanna risk it getting misshaped or somthing..in that center section, where its raised, you'll notice when you install it that theres a gap between the bumper and the support bar it bolts to...just get a few longer bolts, and a few washers for each one, and you'll be all set >wink.gif>
if you need some pics or any other help with it, just hit me up on aim, i'll help ya out..

here's a question along the same lines, can i get the hood for now and do with stock bumper i've seen the gap and i like it but i was wondering all i have to do is modify the latch right?

Thanx.

yup docray you got it exactly right...you'd have to extend your stock latch by about 1/2-1inch..other than that, no problems! >wink.gif>

So toyota called, the parts are in. Took only 3 days, i am amazed. The hood is on back order and will be in sometime in july. But i got the front bumper, upper and lower grille, now i just need turns and i am set.
