if you don't know what a lowered celica looks like, here it is. Tein S-techs, KYB Gr2's, 7th gen GTS rims on Yokohama AVS ES100's. The car is currently undergoing the auto to manual swap. Soon after I plan on getting my 404 front, 404 sides, oem rear extensions, and a few peices from doGGy put on...
on to the pics...looks basic for now

I'm thinking of painting them darker...not black though. They look more white in the pics than they are.

That is the only 6gc I have seen that the 7gc wheels look good on. You should paint your caliper red or something so they stick out more.

dude 15" rims are better with bumps the 17' what are you thining?
15" have thicker sidewalls absorbing the impact more were as 17" have thin sidewalls that are stiffer which relays the impacts more to your butt

It's a 1 inch drop or something. I dunno, their Teins. It's really stiff, and no I can't 'feel the road' because it isn't driveable. I had to push it in the driveway for those shots;) It's trannyless because of the swap right now.
Yes, it SHOULD be done by the show if everything goes well. I just won't have my bodykit on, but it'll be running and the GReddy SP should be on...but the exterior stuff doesn't concern me, I just need the car running. As far as red calipers, naw, too many people do red, and I don't really care if they stick out or not, green is my favorite color:)
