oh yea and the paint was kinda expensive even at a bodyshop discount price i got it at in total with clear coat teh paint for 3 quarts was $374 then including $850 for painting my car and fixing the big dent from a tree on my passenger fender and antoher dent in my rear fender and fixing my trunk to make it close evenly now and the right side door aligning it and also another $100 to replace the outer and inner CV boots on the driver axel total is about 1300

not a killer price, i'm paying 1100 for spray job, take two dents out, and work on the body kit. I'm supplying the paint.

That's an awesome price for paint(for both of you >

>)! Do you personally know whoever is doing the work? Is that how you're getting a good deal?

New Toyota project coming soon...

i got the paint free, but the guy i'm getting my paint done by is a restoration guy. My car was the only car i saw that wasnt under 1970s. But he does a really good job w/ out the outrageous prices. He does 1200 for a color change, no including removing dents.

It seams that the blue is a popular color for when doing a color change on 6 gen Celicas. The color choice is very good. I like the rims too... why not 18's???
Dont forget to paing the calipers !!!!!!!!!!!!! >
