i hate to burst people's bubbles, but you can't copy toyota parts. it's copyright/patent infringement. no one will do it.

i personally think that splitters would look odd on our celica. maybe a carbon fiber under front lip spoiler. those are cool.

pretty sure as far as the OEM car markets go they have it instated that its only copyright infringement IF and only IF you claim it to be a true toyota, honda, mitsu etc part. theres hundreds of companies out there that make OEM REPLACEMENT parts.

Yup....the under lip looks better!

i like te idea of the gt4 wing risers. i would deffinately buy them. also the feul door and front lip spoiler sound good too
Well, CF is a little more versitile than Most stuff. I've seen seats made of non hardened CF.
So many ideas but who here would fork out the cash for something like an air dam or fenders. I'm looking for ideas and that I have found but would any of you buy this stuff? How much would you all be willing to pay?

i'd be willing to buy a CF front lip underspoiler if it was like 250-300. you guys have to realize, CF stuff is $$$$. I got my fuel door overlayed and it was 100 bucks. i personally think that **** like m3 mirrors and ricey crap that you can get for any honda/acura is a waste of effort, besides those mirrors are not CF at 75 bucks... they are CF LOOK. If you had real CF mirrors, the tiny ones, those are like 300-400 bucks. we should get something custom, a really cool addition. just MO.

they are but theyre so freakin expensive >frown.gif>
just to respond to the mirrors. CF mirrors would be like 3-400 bucks. if you want aero mirrors that aren't CF, why are you putting that in this thread?

i still say a front underspoiler/lip thing would be tight or the rear panel, between the taillights.

here's 2 examples... i would stress, i do NOT want to make a CF copy of the zephyr kit. come ON guys, let's do something original. if i wanted it too look like the Z kit, i'd get the Z kit >smile.gif>

maybe like that, but a custom design... or... like this... it's hard to see, but it's like a spoiler under the lip

these are just examples, i don't think we should "copy" either of these. i'm willing to do some designs if enough people want to take this idea forward.

yea those look sweet charlie, i wouldnt be able to get 1 though cuz of my vis front....the piece between the tailights would be cool though.

well, yeah, but CF stuff is gonna be that much anyway... the mirrors, the lip, the license plate panel. it will all be around 300 i think for any of those.

well, that's a good idea but...

1) we can't copy a toyota part, it's not legal
2) no company is going to want to do that. they will want to do something original.
