Hey Corey!
The front end looks a lot like a MAXX (I think that's what it's called) front end that you can find on Suprasport, HPF, or MVP, but it does looks like it's been modified somewhat, so it could be some other brand. The turn signals are wearing JDM turn signal covers which seem to be very popular right now (JDM!!!). As for getting a custom fron end done, well, any fibreglass plass that was familiar with cars could do one. There are some shops in Edmonton that may specialize in something like that. I think I know of one or two, but I can't recall at the moment. I would personally go with a pre-made one from one of the companies like Do-luck, kaminari, or bomex. There is a post somewhere with pretty much every body kit fathomable for the MKIII, I think either Jeff Lange or Acroth made it on supraforums. I'll try to find it. The JDM turn signal covers can be purchased in a forum or I think suprasport has them too.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Tim

Found the thread Corey: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=216746
This stuff will BLOW YOUR MIND!!!
I've seen it all before and it just blew mine again.
At least it'll give you some ideas. If you go 2jz, you should go soapra (see the list and you'll know what I mean), people wouldn't even know what it was!
Hope that helps you out!
Cheers,
Tim

Okay Corey, so I did you one better. I saw the above pic on supraforums and was pleased to discover that the car in question is the new-ish car of one of the guys I know on SF. Unfortunately his old (and beautiful) blue car was stolen, so he got this new one with a 2jz in it. The bumper is just a plain old 89+ front fascia with the center cut out, so technically yes, it was custom. Wouldn't be to hard to do that at all.

Sorry Corey.
Should have specified. He has the 2JZ swap done to his car, but it was that way when he bought it, so he didn't do the swap by himself.

p.s. where can i get a custom front end made for my 89' ??
Hi Corey,
Check out a place called FX designs. They are located in Edmonton. I think on 149st or 142 st. Somewhere on the west end. They have done some excellent work on custom fabrication of body kits. The kit you are looking at looks something like the bomex one.
Unfortunately all my front end custom modifications are done by CRUNCH. :D Unfortunately this is a seldom repairable mod.
