I finally had my sideskirts painted and installed. Here are a couple of photos (ok, more than a couple) with the new look.

Looks awesome!!! thumbsup.gif


We have a similar taste in styling. My only suggestion is maybe black mesh instead of the silver.

THE STUFFS FOR SALE!

I was actually considering that initially. but as i couldn't find the black mesh i wanted to see what it would look like with the mesh and then paint it black afterwards.

Anyone willing to do a quick PS to see what the mesh would look like in black? tongue.gif

That's pretty subtle, so it actually doesn't look half bad. The more I look at it, the more I like it! Not a big fan of the spoiler though! Nice work.

I would love to drop her, but the roads here are so bad, even now i've barely scraped the skirts. My road is basically just a dirt road. But i might still do it.

jeez photobucket is being stupidly annoying at work. I'll email the picturs home mate and upload them there. Think work must have some sort of block on it for some reason (worked ok the other day!)

Thanks, man! You know, that might actually look pretty good. If i tint my windows darker and paint the mesh gloss black, it may just flow nicely. I know in the end its what I want that matters, but does anyone else have any thoughts?

"Remember, amateurs built the ark and professionals built the Titanic. Butrevolutionariesbuilt the Celica!"- Me
sick car man! skirts look awesome!
yeah i think the black mesh along with black wheels and dark windows would look good.
clear front indicators would tidy the front up too mate.

I'm going to Greece in October with the g/f and once i get back, its projectors, paint job, and clear front turns. I think I'll do the mesh this weekend though. biggrin.gif

Ok. Here are some pics with the painted mesh in the front and sides. Thanks vsideboy for the assist!

They're probably more visible during the day.

hows your hands mate? I finally got round to meshing my front bumper this weekend too, think my snips are a bit too cheapy though as I've ended up with loads of little cuts near my thumb from the mesh.

Looks good though buddy, no probs with helping you out its only a few seconds to do that kind of thing in paintshop.

My hands were ok. They kind of hurt a little as i reached into my wallet to pay the garage for installing the mesh. biggrin.gif

Actually, i had it installed the same time that the garage painted and installed the sideskirts. But i painted them myself. Did a whole lot of taping!

I see. Not a real DIY'er then! tut tut!

Glad I could be of assistance buddy.
thats hot!!
