I really gotta go premium again, I miss my edit button...

Of course the front wouldn't be the only thing, I'd also get sides and rear but first a decision needs to be made on what if any front. Thanks guys.

Yuck! on all 03+ kits, just personal opinion though.

I say base/LSS cleanly modded/cut to fit if you have to.

I agree with the yuck on all but the TRD and me not wanting to copy my old car it's very likely that this will end up either lss or staying the way it is.

The 03 BC2 is a mess, Type-J is ugly, I never really liked the TRD for 03 either, and the drift is not bad but its a bit showy - not sure if thats what youre going for or not. If I were to do anything, either get the lss or go back to 02 and get that bc2 kit - its niiiice

I like where your car is headed though, can we pleaaaaase see cleaned up engine bay pictures this coming spring??? pleaaaase mmmK?? lol

Ill tie him down and clean up his engine bay for him... Yes its functional and Yes I believe function>form.... lol but it BOTHERS ME!

Who's with me!?!

Curt -- I like the drift bumper the most (only because I'm not picking the TRD based on your reason for not using it again).... but I don't like it that much. Personally I'd go LSS. Thats what I'm going to do, just '02 LSS.

I HATE the cut apart bumper look. Just seams super trashy!!

But then again there arnt many choices for the 03+ front ends... TRD is my fav tho. Would look killer with big IC behind it...

Like so!!





Just make it tastefull!!! Fast cars mean nothing if they look like beat up DSMs.

I was waiting for pics. Now finish it up.

Where did I say it was finished? Sheesh, it was just a feeler type thing. Hell I didn't even pay for the base front that I cut up. I'm going to do a bit more w/ it, clean it up and stuff and then I'll see how it looks. Here's the bottom line, if I like it, I will repeat it on a LSS, if not I'm going LSS anyway so what does it matter. This is a project, if it turns out good that's nice, if not I've got a backup plan.
