Just a couple little things here and there for the celica.

Painted interior trim silver. Prepped with liquid sandpaper, used 4 coats of paint, and 3 coats of clear coat.


Custom CAI (thanks to urbandork's how-to). Routed to fender, required some cutting becuase they sent me the 3" pipes which were a little too big. This thing completely changes the sound of the car. It's friggin mean! (yes I know my engine bay is filthy, so please don't tell me to clean it)


TRD decal for hatch window


Alpine CDA-9853 Glide-Touch head unit.



Next up will be some 18" Exels.

Looks good but for me, decals are pointless, especially in a slow car. >>

I'm glad you did the inserts right, with the prep/paint/clear coat. It scratches off fast if you don't do it right. Nice job, looks great!

How do you do it "right" cuz I'll be doing the same thing

Sand, Paint at least three coats and use clear coat. I don't have my interior painted but I did it for a friend about 18 months ago and it still looks great.

How much sanding do you need to do?

Cutrara

#9

Enough so the paint will stick, try like a 300 grit.

Thanks for the compliments >> . As far as the decal/slow-car comment, the rear just looked bland and I think that it looks nice. Plus, it's not gonna be a slow car for too long >> . I'll get a night pic of the alpine, it looks soo nice.

Don't buy exels. I hate mine. Get some 5zigens, their reasonably priced and quality

ok mate, so we need to brighten up the inside of the standard car !

you where going to colour code it to the car colour ? you've got a '4' there mate so you need subtle not in your face IMO, just my two cents worth...

gt driffter.......

i like what you've done to your car, it look nicely done, good quality work, just a bit too bright IMO for our cars but it looks good all the same >> keep going fella..
