B&S Body & Collision, thay have one of the best body men in town and I am have an old friend of mine come in and spray it... He did my boyfriends supra a few years ago and it was "A PERFECT JOB!!!"
Got my Eurou front lip today from japanparts.com, this co. is very reliable with good prices and thay speak english!!! There standard air shipping is unbeleavable fast!!! DHL warped the part to me in 22 hours!!! What the hell!!! bowdown.gif needless to say, next time i need a real jap part I will be buying from this co.

nice !

DHL international service is freaking fast.

looking forward to see your project all done and shiny.

i've always wanted that lip... damn.. only thing stopping me is the high shipping price (but then again you get it very fast) and the fact that i won't be able to drive in the winter with the lip on. and the body kit combo you're going with has been my all-time favorite.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OOOOH Parada Spec 2 tires! You are gonna love the way they grip on the twisties! Good on launch too. Love the red rims. Gonna paint the car red too? I'd go black for the contrast but should look amazing either way.
Does anyone have any kinda of clip they can put in with that Porshe red color? I'm really interested to see how it looks! Dude, car looks like it's coming along well! Nice.

what size and offset are the Axis wheels? front and back if you can. also is the Axis that new Maxxis(i think thats correct) lip effect that they have with some of their wheels or is it the offset that creates the lip for you?

its a little of both, offset and lip size... i had to role the rear fenders to make the wheels fit... thay should clear by 2mm!!!

yeah, am currently working on my GT to fit some 9.5", maybe 10" rims rite now (not to sure yet)

i've been lookin at Axis wheels and their Maxxis tech is pretty cool...expands lip size, gives a rwd look, without sacrificing the dimensions of the rim to much.

if yours are 18", i assume they're 18x8 all around with the Maxxis tech in the rears, correct?

and where did you have to roll? the front or the rear fenders?

i think i'll have to do some major stretching to fit the 9.5-10" rims but the end result is worth it for me

Beautiful rims! Are they staggered? In the second picture it looks like they are. You're car is going to look great!

You are correct... the wheels are not staggered sized, just staggered offset, it gives the celica a look of a RWD car... I made a template to find the max offset and mesured it down to 2mm cleareance for that "perfect flush look"...
