Hey, with all this talk about lips recently, i thought i'd show you all my new front lip. I believe its only available in Europe and is very, very rare over here! Been looking for about 7 months and finally found one, i havent had it fitted yet, but have done a quick photoshop to give an idea of how it will look, im also relocating my number plate, getting rid of the toyota emblem and smoothing over the holes, heres a pic.....

Any Toyota garage in the uk can get one. That lip is made by Toyota.

The rims on the car with the race car in the background are Toyota alloys that come as standard on the GT (not to be confused with the American GT). I think they are 18".

:naughty: Selling it? :wiggle: Would you ship it to me to Europe mainland? :drool:

If you want it you can have it for free, just get DHL or UPS to pick it up and package it from my office. Its a genuine toyota product and its not made from fibre glass. It's also unpainted.

I'll take a pic later but this is the one I'm talking about

since you have the TRD sides and TRD spoiler (don't know if you have the TRD rear valence) the car would look better with a TRD front in my opinion.

Here's my storm blue Celica T-Sport. Its hard to see the lip as its very dull outside and I'm using a **** camera. I'll get a better picutre over the weekend after I clean her up and polish her. :D

No, it's called the Dynamic Lip in the UK. The TTE lip is pre facelift only and would look well with Kam Skirts IMO.

02-20-2007, 10:17 AM
Yep, Kev is correct on both accounts, the wheels being 17's and its not the TTE,

Mickfarr - Your car looks sweet mate, love the rims and the colour, Any other plans mate??

Thanks,

I want to keep it close to stock.

I've put the SS chrome inserts on the back and some mud flaps, lowered the car with TTE springs, tinted the window with a very light tint. Inside I've changed the stock head unit for a 7inch DVD/MP3 player touch screen and have put the chrome rings on the air vents, climate controls, etc... which gives the interior a much nicer look.

I'll take a picture tomorrow.

Nice one mate, more pics the better!! Iv gone for a simila look, im probably going towards the GT look, so far iv got TRD exhaust, AEM CAI, 8300k HIDS, 7" touch screen and my 18's, next up is lowering, looks silly high at the moment lol!!

Saw it, thanks. I am checking with the different shipping options, each one has a trick to rob me for the delivery. :bang: I'll let you know on time. :thumbup:

Mick and J4, I like what you guys are doing. Got any pics of the dvd/screen units? Do you guys have double din units or flip up screens...jdm console? :eek:

Mick, don't forget to take a photo of your car from the rear and 3/4 rear, I would love to see what the mudflaps look like. Nice rims, too. :wiggle:

I think these toyota lips are awsome and the postert and pakfeifer ones aren't bad either... the TTE is not nice IMHO.

It's actually funny that your car is RHD (thus like JDM) and has a roof mounted antenna (thus like Euro). :gap:

I've got brackets pre-made for relocating the front plate into the grille area. Designed for U.S. plates. No drilling and no effect on cooling. Uses factory holes.

PM me if interested.

No problem JDMare, I've had the lip lying about for about a year so a few more weeks won't matter.

Here's a few more pic's, sorry for the bad quality pic's and I will polish her this weekend if it isn't raining! :D

Not the wrong topic. I mentioned my brackets because he said he was going to relocate his plate and even tweaked a photo to show what it would look like.
