Jake Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I like it but I'd like it a whole lot more without the rivet/screw holes. What's up with the OSF wing to bumper fit? What bumper is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren j adams Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Jake No rivets will be there in the end. Osb not finished yet. This is just me doing experiments i like choping things up. D Bumper is trial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I actually like the rivets, gives it a straight off the race track look. But this will look cool with the rivets filled too All the best Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I really thnk that bumper looks excellant!front arch i think if moulded or should i say smoothed into front wings id personally like more, the rear ones i cant decide on! i think having them smoothed wouldnt work as well, as i think they gonna give a nice agressive rear look, or maybe just smoothed as in smoothed sharply not gentle curve if that makes sense!! But having it all one colour and the bolt holes smoothed over like you say, will change the look. still loving the front bumper, reminds me of a Celica one i saw, but that had Carbon fibre i guess you could call 'downforce blades' coming out on side, bit like the lumps on yours. Is that your other supra on ramp next to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 Originally posted by whitesupraboy2 Is that your other supra on ramp next to it? I'd say so I like how they meet the front bumper, unsure about the rivets. I'd probably prefer the blended look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stt Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Being absolutely honest I think you should leave the rivet holes exposed,I think with it all filled in it woulkd spoil the lines of the car but with them visable it will look like they are there to serve purpose and make the car. Well just my 2ps worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Originally posted by Bobbeh I like how they meet the front bumper, unsure about the rivets. I'd probably prefer the blended look. I agree - without rivets. It'll look very nice when done Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 IMO D the rivets should stay as they do give it a very functional look , the front arches need the inner bit cut away (the return lip) so as they have room to accept the tyre , otherwise IMO people think they are only there for cosmetic reasons , why didnt you use the rear spats ??? just you doing things the hard way again Overall i like the effect dude , what colour is the car gonna be as for some reason i dont think the 'overfenders' look as good on a silver car !!!! hence i used the ones for mine on CJ's Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Another vote for 'no rivets' here. Bit tricky to tell before it's all painted. But the back view looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 look better with rivets. Have you used spacers on the wheels to get them to stick out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren j adams Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Thanks for replys. Rivets will be gone. The arch wont be blended it will be like CJs with no rivets. Dude your spraying it end of next year!(black) I still have lots to do,manual converesion,subaru seats,single,bottom end,etc. Trial bumper is nice shape but terrible mould seams on both sides. Yes i hope it lasts longer than my tr7. Dude your rear spats are on there they have had the top cut off to give the spiked look. The back of the rear arch is cut to match your spat. The back of the rear of the front arch is also cut of to make it tuck under. The car next to mine iis my brothers its having pistons crank and rods uprated. So much to do so little time. Thanks again for your replys everone. D. Ps wheels are off my bros trd kitted car so they are wide. The rear however have now had 1" spacers put on to bring the wheel flush to the arch,in the pics they sit in an inch. The spacers are german TC spacers and are pukka. The spacers bolt on first then you bolt to the spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
