Lucrative idea could make a lot of money.

Ok ever since I’ve bought this Corolla I’ve been hoping that some fiberglass company would make this but hasn’t I think my idea is a huge money maker. I think half the people on this form would buy it at some point during there ownership. Ok here it is somebody needs to redesign the front bumper WITHOUT a Toyota symbol just make it flush. It would be like the rectangle grill in the front with no Toyota symbol would make are cars look bad ass and mysterious in all the right ways. I don’t have the skills I bet this could be done fairly easy with photo shop if you know how to use it. What do you think? I would love to not have a 3” Chrome Toyota badge screaming in the front of my rolla.

The bumper would be pretty simple and easily done by cutting filling and bondo work. However the stock grill wouldn't fit. I feel the easiest way to fix that would be to buy an uncut grill instert, which i know i've seen before somewhere, and chop it to fit.

If you can measure, cut, and bondo, its doable. Just have it painted afterwards and its good. Looks good in the photoshop. Part of me loves the idea, and part of me wears my toyota badges proudly

Not really a big fan of that. I kinda like the toyota emblem to be there. If you don't like how it stands out, just tint it black, easier and cheaper to do.

hahah its all good! i think ill add my name to my sig

and yeah it looks pretty clean but the addition of that section of grill would be pretty tedious

it would be nice to see someone do it in person.

I've always thought that someone at Toyota was drunk when they designed the latest version of cars in terms of the emblem. Why didn't they just put is right in the middle of the grille, like on the previous gens? So you could remove it without any sign of it being there. I definitely like this idea and anyone who "fixes" their front bumper lol.

That is exactly what I’m talking about!!! Thanks for the picture. I really like the clean look without a emblem. I agree with thesone11 it would def be a TON cheaper to just tint/paint the emblem so it doesn’t stand out as much.

If somebody made a bumper with a grill similar to the stock grill I would buy one in a heart beat. And I think it might look good grill less with this particular design…. !!! Do you think that we could share this pic with a company that makes fiber glass kits and they could come up with something for production? I kind of get scared of the thought of bondo in the front of my car I’ve had bad experiences with bando in the past IE chipping cracking looking like shit in no time.

And one thing that would be kind of fun about having this bumper would be people saying what kind car is that? it looks badass clean dosent screem I Own a toyota like it does now.....
Lets Get this DONE!!!! u know everybody will want it! If we build it they will come

Really cleans up the look of the car IMO.

Matches the boxy lines more.
