RA28GT Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Posted July 6, 2009 13BT definitely isnt an option for a daily driver, especially if your travelling long distances. I like the idea of debadgeing the car but i think you should leave the strip on. I think it suits the car I'm thinking of possibly having the strip higher as not to clash with the front flare? I like the strip too as it makes the car look longer. Quote
PMP020 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I'm voting to keep the strip also. get into photoshop, have a play around with different heights of the strip. cheers, scott. Quote
Chobis Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Yep keep the side strip.... this car has gone from strength to strength. Simply sensational! Quote
smeetsy1 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 de-baged with strip de-baged without strip I love the strip ! Quote
Chobis Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Oh hell yeh, gotta keep the strip.... looks bland without it, and also gotta lose the badges. Great chopping smeetsy !!! Quote
KEhendo Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 i'd say keep the big TOYOTA in the middle of the boot. i think it looks good with it. Quote
Tally Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 looks too plain without strip on the side... just some food for thought, you could get a GT strip like this: Quote
RA28GT Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Posted July 8, 2009 i'd say keep the big TOYOTA in the middle of the boot. i think it looks good with it. Ive never liked the big Toyota badge, it just looks so clean in that chop! looks too plain without strip on the side... just some food for thought, you could get a GT strip like this: VERY much liking the GT strip idea! Always liked this strip actutually: Quote
smeetsy1 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 A strip that follows the curve of the ke20 a bit like that in the ke25 picture would look good? Quote
LukeAE71 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 I vote for keeping the original strip but moving it a few cms higher to avoid the clash with the front flare :hmm: Those other stick on strips do not look as good. You could do some chops I guess with one of them on but I think the factory strip looks best :wink: f*ck I love this car :wink: Quote
smeetsy1 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Then it wouldn't be inline with the door lock... i think it would look too busy and a little wack as it would go in between the door handle and lock. Hmmm, it's a hard one... Quote
13BT_KE20 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Then it wouldn't be inline with the door lock... i think it would look too busy and a little wack as it would go in between the door handle and lock. Hmmm, it's a hard one... easy fit, delete the locks and get central locking. I agree the strip should be raised only slightly, half way between the lock and handle would be ideal. I don't think it would look out of place or busy at all. Quote
dale72ke20 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 I think leave the strip exactly where it is. It suits the vehicle ( and protects against those who like to door your car in the car park ) Given you've fitted the flares, the granny look is well and truly gone so if you were looking to respray it, making filling the holes a minor issue thenm I'd debadge it Just my 2c worth. Cheers Dale Quote
RA28GT Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Posted July 8, 2009 Theres no holes under the strip, its just glued on. When shes painted the locks will be shaved also, as i have central locking and alarm to go in right now (just need time). I'm thinking maybe just a few cm now? I thought of having it run with the door handle but I'm not sure if that would look quite right? Quote
PMP020 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 photochops are superb. definate no badges. strip MUST stay. can u get a side on pick of the car, so smeet's can have a play with different level'ed strips? cheers, scott Quote
