ok, well i have a friend in Japan that is willing to find some hard to find parts for my celica, now the question is what could i ask him to find for me? and my budget is of about $150...anyone have any ideas of something that is virtually impossible to obtain here and is easily gotten over in Japan for our 6gcs?

let me know any ideas are welcome.
Thanks

for $150..i dont think your gonna get too much. If i were you, i would say get a Hiro Curren style spoiler or some rear splitters for the coupe.

hmmm...well i was wondering if JDM tails for a hatch are cheaper over there since they are so readily available?
i guess i could always save up a bit more...so say i had like 250 to play with, what do you guys and gals suggest then?

lol wow hardcore. life savings on some taillights. buy some food with that money smile.gif haha j/p

ok hmm...maybe a nice glowing shift knob and a set of seat belt pads? 150 isn't gonna get much. but if you can get tail lights for 150 that'd be awesome!

Personally, since you said you don't have a job, I wouldn't be spending money on car stuff, but that's me and I don't know your situation so....

hell yeah! im just about to spend 1580 on a front clip of a gt-four, but hold on hold on, it doesnt comes with the motor, jus the hood, fenders, bumper, headlights, fog lights, grilles, side marking lights and some other stuff,
now you understand why 150 is almost nothing

are u askking if u can get a motor in a clip with that price??
or is it too much?
i think its cheap, the headlights themselves cost around 400, the hood 500, the bumper 600, the fenders and everything else comes up to 500, now add everything and i think it is cheap.

unless this clip comes with projectors, I think is too much.
