helllllllzzzzzz yeaaaa!!!! trd carbon wing!!!

Can that be made to look all shiny again? If you try and fail it always looks good to have that part black on a red/colored car. Goes well with the black tinted windows. So give it a shot.

i was told that if you sand it with 400 grit (wet), the old paint sould be knocked off... then apply anhesive promoter, finaly clearcoat the carbon directly... this should work.... (i hope)

the celica is totaly ready for paint!!! but needed to go to the mech shop first (last wed) for an AC compressor replacement...

the painter said "I want all the mech work finished before i paint!!! because i dont want them to scratch or scuff the paint work aftewards..." i totaly agree with him and the car is now with a mechanic in the shop who said it will be no more than a day or two before he is done, untill my bf picked-up the wrong AC compressor!!!

as of today, we now have the correct AC compressor!!! so mabe this week it will see some paint i hope... i will keep you all posted!!!

where are you going to pick one of those up?
your car looks nice btw. i just wish i had the money to put into my car like that. and my car is a daily driver so i couldn't just leave it in the shop for that long of a time.
all in all i am just jealous

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)

well g6'rs, i am sad to report once again that my celica is still not painted...

so i decied to start on the wiring and and system install... i wired the front projector coner lights and side repeaters to europen/jap specs, along with gt4 fog lights and i wired in a hid harness... as far as the system goes i installed the MBquarts speakers and crossover boxes along with a pioneer center channel speaker... the front speakers went in with ease because i bought some ring adaptors but in the rear i had to shave the plastic speaker braket down to get a nice fit... all in all, a nice clean install!!!

i will be finishing up the system next week with a valor GPS head unit...

front speaker install...

rear speaker installed in moded plastic braket...

Nice audio setup...I thought MB quarts went under..and where bought out...I could be wrong though. Either way its nice...anyway to mount the center channel more flush? or is that the only way it goes?

i know right!!! the center channel simply mounts there with velcrow tape... i thought about cutin into the dash but thats some work and from what i can see it dose'nt look like there is enough room underneath because of dash vents... maybe if i mount it on the roof just behind dome light would be better but the 5.1 sound may be off then...

Looking pretty good, nice progress

though i would really suggest finding a much less obvious and cleaner mounting spot for that 1 speaker on your dash. sticking out there just looks cheap and cheesy, on the headliner might work better. or maybe inside the dash

but just Velcro'd on there doesn't look very good
