Celica RC front bumper

Postby loudstealthGT-Four » Sun Jul 05, 2009 3:16 pm

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows where I can find a celica RC front bumper in NZ. Anyone got one for sale. Would prefer if it was stock black just to save me getting it painted but if not I'll still take it.

Thanks

Yes and yes. Not sure if theres any in stock at the moment tho. Talk to our sponsor Mark @ Manawatu Toyota. He hooked me up with one for an awesome price.

They dont come painted, but they are black so dont stick out too badly.

For both the skin and reinforcement bar it is just over $400 iirc. You cant use the stock GT4 reinforcement, but you dont have to run one (i highly reccommend you do however)

Basically to absorb impacts in a collision. If you dont have it, the front will pretty much crumble if you hit something.

and it stops the skin sagging over time ..

add in the proper factory mesh inserts and you have yourself over 800 bucks worth in a hurry ( $aud )

Oh ok yea when i was in a crash in my old celica gtr that bar stopped all the parts of the motor getting smashed up. But cars still stuffed though, just use it for parts now but if ya no any one looking for a motor let me know it's in real good condition under 80000 kms
