As some of you know I had a crack in my fibergalss Imported Blitz front. I went ahead and got the Urethane BLitz and I am so happy with it. The fitment was almost perfect and it looks so much better. It doesnt look so cheap looking anymore. Tell me what you guys think? Which one looks better? I should have better pics soon.

new = better

just ditch the stock Toyota mesh in the upper opening and put in mesh to match the lower sections

Karl you must be talking about something else of mine.

Jotan, I reallt liked the Imported one too but the fit and it cracking in less than 3 months really made my decision. I will stick with Urethane from now on. I learned my lesson.

Jesse for some reason I really like the upper toyota grill. I thought about switching though.

Now There has been over 95 peeps that looked, cant I get more than 5 response?

Only problem I see is that they don't match. If you want to keep the stock upper grill, at least paint the lower stuff black.

Hey Big Ass, have you seen me around yet? I have a friend of mine that works for a body shop that will paint things for me on the side. He does it for a good price. A lot cheaper than the shop. If you want his name and number PM me. He is always looking to make money on the side.
nccelica, I am disappointed we can no longer be twins, but we had to seperate sooner or later.
Thanks for the comments folks, keep them coming.

looks really nice!!! its amazing the difference in quality between the two materials. (urethane vs. fiberglass) Normally I dislike the more aggresive kits, but I must admit your car is a head turner (in a good way ;) )

I like it.. looks good
I think that the us/jap fronts look good depending on what color they're on.. they really present a different look in different colors... imo

I like it. So the fitment on the urethane one was really good? Where did you get it from and price?

Personafied, your car look great. I'm glad you like your new front bumper. What brand was the bumper? Was it KBD? If so that's what I got, and the fitment was great too. I think the imported and US both look good IMO.

I personally like the imported bumper better. But thats just my opinion!!

I think the US version is WAY TO BIG for a front bumper. I honestly dont like either version. Your car is clean looking tho

Btw, Banna, that is defiently NOT a WW spoiler, either TRD or a knock off. Bad observation bro.

Thanks Ben for your insite. My car is carbon blue and not black. So the rims do match well. You might as go stock as it seems like you dont like any kits at all. j/k My wing is the WW wing. I got the very first ones that came out. I should have waited since the first series cracked. I also had the shop put the third brake light on, thats why it doesnt look like WW.

Lovin, the bumper is from KBD and the fitment was great. I like both the imported and the U.S too but I just hated the fitment on the imported. Plus it cracked in less than three months.

Big Ass, my friend does the painting at Scotty's. He was the one that did your car cuz he told me that he had to paint a front on a celica like mine. I was thinking of who it could be but I guess I know now. It looks good man.
