Side skirts and front lip

From that first lip? I simply ran it a couple inches too long for the entire front, so that I could make a "tab" out of the end pieces to screw into the fender well. I double side taped the portions that touched the sides, and made a large portion that folded down into the front opening of the bumper. It sat completely flush on the car, and looked pretty good. The issue came when I fiberglassed it, and then found that it didn't properly fit the RC bumper I swapped on. I'm making a new front lip right now, and hope to be finished with it some time next month. I'll post pictures of that then. With a little work, I'm sure you could take that Home Depot lip I started on and fiberglass something nice. Below is a picture of what it could look like. It just didn't fit like I wanted, so starting on a RC bumper is best.

Not yet. Sorry to everyone for the delay. I've been busy working on a couple other things, and unfortunately front lips take a while. I hope to finish it this month. Stay tuned!

it looks great! i love whites celicas ;) (nothing to do with mine being white :p)

but i thing you should have tought of a way to mold everything without filling the joints.. now you cant remove your rear bumper nor your front fenders... that the only bad point i see and the main reason why i'm not a big fan of molding. :p

still you did a good work mate ;)

Thanks. I'm not worried about the joints being molded as I don't intend on crashing. The only reason to need to remove my fenders is to replace them, and same goes for the rear. If someone hits me then they need to pay, so no biggy. Unfortunately this car has been on the back burner for a very long time, and I still haven't gotten around to finishing the lip. I've been working on my Saabaru and my dad's 02 GTS (mold old car). The ST185 will get some love soon enough. She is in need of a new turbo and tune. We'll see what happens with the lip.
