As for the pin strip yes, you can do that your self. I did mine, looks a LOT better. I used a blow dryer to heat it up then pell off, just be warned it does take a while if its anything like mine. and its a lot of fingernail scraping, but well worth it.
now thats the babies lunch o yeah
Looking great! >smile.gif>

yea man i have those fornt extensions i like the look very clean and not too much u know im actually gettin a similar set up wth the rear oem extensions, TRD wing, and z max side skirts..those u have are not the splittters those are different....
question...you guys think i should throw a bit of carbon fiber on it? or leave it white. not talking about hood or hatch, but like rear spoiler extensions.
Looks great!! How much did it cost to paint the sides and extensions??

I think that if you go with the dual tone color of white and carbon fiber, a hood would be the best as well as riser blocks.

Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
learn how to take pics before you post...

I bet it looks awesome but the pics do not justify the work done.

actually u can use a creditcard or membership card and scrap it off...easy and fast

As the time goes byMy life change...I hope i wont changeNor my heartbut it is broken..wat can i do..IT life...I hate it...but i lov my creation
interesting, i might try that.
Nice looking kit, I like it alot. Do have to agree remove the pinstripe.
The bst way to remove the pinstripe is to heat it up with a hairdryer, this loosens the glue and reduces the potential to damage the paintwork, no need to use cards etc, as it will just peel off.
Raiser blocks would finish the car off nicely.

thanks for the info. im definitely going to try to use a hairdryer to get the pinstripe off.

im going to get doggy's custom spoiler raiser blocks. just not sure if im going to get carbon fiber or white.
Your car looks clean and nice!
When I had decals on my car, I VERY CAREFULLY used a propane torch (also very handy in getting off brake rotors that are stubborn). You just touch the flame to the decal part and it melts off...then a car wash to get off any extra residue. That was very simply and took no time at all...literally maybe 30 seconds. Longest part was waiting for it to cool a couple seconds before peeling again because it gets hot.

Don't a bunch of people post saying I'm an idiot for doing this. I've seen it done before professionally and is actually where I got the idea.

im gonna ask my buddy at the body shop what he suggests. i do have a propane torch so that might be another possibility. thanks for the info.
