Pics of my car before it gets painted - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #28099 16 posts Started by wuhukf
I dropped off my car at the paint shop last week and they'll be done with it in about another week, but until then, here are some pics of my car before the 404 kit and gunmetal pearl paint job. Oh yea, and those white specs aren't dirt or anything, its chipped off paint.

The guy I bought it from used to drive from VA to MD everyday on the highway. I guess all those little pebbles from the highway really messed it up.
i was about to say thats a VA inspection sticker lol over a year outta date though lol.............

where in MD are you?
What piece(s) are you using for the rear bumper?

I'm not putting anything in the rear bumper for now. I'm gonna see how it looks first and if it looks like something is missing, I'll prob get some rear splitters or something.
let me tell u, customize the 404 it looks much better with it on then off.

Yeah, I think your car needs some TLC bad...a new kit and paint job will do it. After that, I would get the TRD Wing from Chrisc in Hong Kong. The stock wing will look too subtle with your kit.

I've actually been thinking about getting a new wing, but I'm not a big fan of the trd wing, though I do like the erebuni wing...but I think that'll be a little too ricey haha.
