Is there any one out there who owns one of these front bumpers. The Kazz Type I i think. It is the one with the huge front opening.
I want some measurements of the front opening, at a minimun I would love to know how tallk the opening is? Is it anywhere near 10 inches or 254 cm's? I have one on the way but I want to go ahead an mock up the intercooler and need to know if the intercooler needs to go behind the bumper support or can it sit underneath it.
I believe I am the only one in the US with a complete kit. I might be mistaken, but I know of no one else owning the complete kit...
And I made the mouth smaller! Feel free to flame. lol I dont care, since I am aiming to build a vip styled spotrty car anyways.
Aero:
Bought it on ebay, cheap for what it is, pretty damaged.
Basically reconstructed missing pieces of fiberglass andfixed many of the cracks present.
Front bumper work:
Added the vents and reduced the size of the intercooler opening
Front bumper now it is primered and ready to wetsand.
Rear bumper:
The exhaust openings were designed for a single fartcan of about 3.5"... I want two 3" polished stainless pipes coming out of each opening. Extended the openings to fit what I wanted and fixed many cracks and chips.
Ready to wetsand as well!
Sideskirts: just repaired the damage and because of the design, I cannot add vents... not like I wanted to anyways. Fitted them as you can see in the earlier pic. Perfect.
Cause it is an out-of-the-box design... tired of seeing the same kits on vip's jzs's and I stumbled upon this kit which is my favourite of all time... and btw, the car will be red too, so rather different
I worked as a bodyman/painter/prepper for a very prestigious body shop in tucson. We fixed many cars for the barret -jackson auctions and we specialized in high end euros and lexus. I worked there for about 7 years. After 2007, I quited to do it more as a hobbie than as a job and started working for Intuit. Now I am a senior IT for one of the accountant groupes but I still do bodywork as a sidejob. I like doing it so, why the heck not right? _________________
The goods:
Color: 3PO in the Toyota color chip: I am actually going to use a dark grey metallic base to make the color a bit darker. Tought of a candy red but candies are such a pain in the buttocks to take care of; since this is going to be my daily, a solid red will have to do since I do not want to deal with fading.
@ bulldogger: hahahaha, im married and have a kid already, but appreciate the comment. I got my wheels on friday. my rear fender pull is about to start as soon as I get my spacers. _________________
