TOMS Bumper on and customized! FINALLY!

TOMS Bumper on and customized! FINALLY!

Well as some of you know about three months ago, I put on my TOMS bumper, it fit perfect, but it was too low. I couldn't fit more than two fingers under it. Well, I was determined the thing on. Me and my friend Bill spent hours upon hours cutting, filling, fiberglassing to make the bumper fit and custom. The trademark "TOMS" side holes have been shaved, the license plate holder shaved, the bottom was cut and raised and inch and a half, then we had to completely reconstruct the bottom, the outer holes were also opened more. I can now fit my fist underneath and it seems to have enough clearance. I think these mods to the bumper made the bumper look a whole lot better and cleaner. Anyways, heres some pics until I can do a formal photo shoot. :wiggle: Let me know what you think!








Thanks to Bill for all his help! Also, before pics can be found here:

looking good

Looks excellent....two questions..
-When do you plan on painting it, along with the rest of the kit??
-Do you plan on putting some foglights in those spaces??

Oh yea, my only concern is that the lower portion at the center of the bumper looks really thin and fragile as if it might just crack at the slightest bump of anything you come across on the road.....

The center may look a tad thin, but its not, its strong enough to withstand enough...hopefully. The spaced wont be filled with foglights, the fogs that are supposed to go in there are to hard to locate and when I did, they were outrageously expensive. It should be getting painted sometime by Feb., Im waiting for my tax return.

hey does it fit 01's and how much was it. looking nice

B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l-

Aww why you shave the signature Tom's holes? Didnt flow with the trd sides I assume?

Exactly, didnt flow with anything on the car, so I got rid of it. Looks much cleaner without them.

paint your car black,idk just me i like the whole black scheme.

So I read your gonna paint it. I think it looks better just like that. But then if I had the car, I d get sick and tired of people asking me when Im getting it painted so eh.

I like it. This is how it should have looked stock. All of the lips and bumpers that have come out for our gen have been too ricey, IMO.

Looks great. Looks like a good fit for an intercooler.

haha, your car is becoming easily the nicest 93-97! congrats, dont do too much!

Thanks, the car is done. All I have left on the exterior is paint and maybe switch up the rims again. The interior has a little bit more to do, steering wheel is next on my list. Other than that, all thats really left is engine work, but Im not sure what I want to do with that.

go name brand on the wheels. take your time. wheels can go from car to car if they are good enough

:thumb:

looks pretty good but if you wanted to go that short and without the holes you should have purchased the sport bumper from the corolla X wagon . that bumper is nearly identical to the one you just customized the X wagon 94-97 models have that bumper. now you know but for how you did it it came out damn good.

Id like to see a pic of this bumper.

dont change bumpers it looks perfect, dont even look at others.


oh, and i forgot, the best 93-97 is still that graphite corolla owned by JspeXAE102. so youre right up there with him!

His car is my favorite He already knows that though.

its coming out nice im lovin it

if only you guys can see the current condition of that thing.. slo would be on top.
and i'll happily trade ya for ur s2k especially with that sweet hard top.

damn..that looks good! when are you gonna get it painted? it'll look real sharp all matched!

i will personally send you the pic the second i run into this car again which is quite often actually and you will see what i mean.

bout time....

hook a brother up with that lip kit plz.......=D

thats sexy

car is looking sweet
