Modifying The C-one Front bumper - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #54477 10 posts Started by kloudkicka
HI guys, well i bought the replica c-one bumper off of extreme dimensions (which was a big mistake), then soon after i decided to do the 3sgte swap, I finally got the swap done but when i tried closing the stock hood over top the intercooler it wouldn't close, so of course i got the gt-four hood (should of got the bumper too), so my question is, is there anyone here that has modified the replica c-one bumper to fit with the gt-four hood? or should i just get the original c-one front or gt-four front bumper, thanks guys, any help would be awesome

^you can do this.. but you'll still be needing a gt-four bumper

ya i saw that guys work before and it looks pretty good, but the problem with mine is that replica c-one bumper doesn't fit good with the gt-four hood, i don't really like the big gap thats in between the hood and the top of the bumper, so im wondering if anyone ever did any work to make it look flush
azian expected you to do use the link and do the same thing that member did, his bumper had the same problem without the modification, just make a template from a GT-4 bumper and do the same thing he did on the link. You are just doing it on a different style of after market bumper but is the same concept.

it looks like alot of work just to get the bumper looking flush though, might just consider getting the real deal or something
^that's probably your best bet... you can sell your bumper to make money to spend for the real one. i'm sure you'll find a definite buyer here.

ya im most likely gonna sell it, but shipping is a killer, i called around and the shipping cost just to the u.s and across canada is like $300
So why was it a big mistake to get it from E.D.?? cuz thats the only brand that the local tuner shop has that carries the c-one bumper....
i got mine shipped from andys autosport and they shipped it for 100 for my bumper and fenders i dunno how they get the deal but it was to me in 4 days from fed ex i think

well my main reason for thinking it was a big mistake for buying the bumper from extreme dimensions is cuz on the advertisement theres a picture of the bumper with the gt-four hood, but from my experience, theres a huge gap that sits between the hood and the bumper, which looks really bad in my opinion, but if you have the stock hood then the bumper should be fine
