[b]JUST FINISHED PUTTING THE BODYKIT ON MY OWN CAR MYSELF AND NOW I THINK I HAVE FINISHED IT. PLEASE GIVE ME AN IDEA OF WHAT YOU THINK. DON'T KNOW IF I LIKE IT OR NOT NOW IT IS DONE.
FITTED KIT MYSELF AND PAINTED IT MYSELF. BE TRUTHFUL. CAN'T FIND MANY PEOPLE IN UK WITH CELICA'S SO HARD TO GO TO SHOWS AND GET REACTIONS FROM PEOPLE.
THANKS. I KNOW THIS SOUNDS A BIT VAIN, BUT SPEND 6 MONTHS FINISHING IT AND WANT TO KNOW IF I HAVE DONE RIGHT OR WRECKED IT.
LOOK AT MY PROFILE TO SEE AS I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT THEM ON A POST THANK YOU.

Looks good to me!! Can't really tell much on the quaility in the pics but seems to look clean. Is this the first time you have painted a car?

wow 6 months is a bit long.
work looks ok though.
interesting kit, not really my cup o'tea but good stuff none the less.

lose the spoiler though its hideous and stop typing in caps lock

I can dig the kit, the wing needs to go. Wheel spacers would look nice. With wing: B-, without wing, A-.

Oh and:

i agree with super about the wing. take it off and get a TRD wing. then your ride would be awesome.

No-Way. KEEP THE WING!!

it's what you like, that's why you have it, right? I get **** about my wing all day long; but never lissen.

It's your car, and your customizing it to YOUR taste. Thats what makes it Your Car

Personaly, i think it looks really good. Has a sweet flow to it; almost fluid. Keep up the good work. Cant wait to see whats next

The rear is a bit extreme for me(but then I'm 52) LOL.....I'd go for the TRD wing if it was me

With a full body kit like that, I'd recommend you change the rear lights for JDM''s and maybe remove the amber insert for full effect. The large orange a bit doesn't fit with the overall updated look.

I'd also suggest changing the front indicators to clear as the orange look a bit out of place....only MHO

Otherwise, from the photos, a commendable job I reckon.

Here's a couple pics from Kenny in Sweden with my clear fronts, before and after......

Pretty much what Wolfie said...look into JDM tails and clear turn signals. Other than those, it's looking really clean, nice work!

Sweet car, front looks different but yeah the spoiler doesn't really match..

it took me 6 months from getting the car finishing it. i work 6 days a week so had to squeeze it all in. first time i had every painted a car. wasn't so sure about spoiler when bought it but spent 200 quid on it so it had to go on. couldn't get clear indicators for mine as mine is a pre 96 celica with earlier bumper, but no one in the uk i know sells them so any help would be appreciated. jdm lights are just standard ones but dark in colour aren't they.

PLEASE look at D-Man's car, particularly his wing, before you take his advice on that. D-Man's wing is just about the ugliest POS I have ever seen in my life. (just givin' ya a hard time there, D-Man... whatever floats yer boat. It's your shopping cart handle. )

I fully concur with the JDM tails and clear indicators. I think it would make for a more cohesive look.

jdm headlights would also be awesome

Hi there,

If you want clear front indicators, the reason you haven't found them is because I'm the only person that makes them for the pre face lift bumper

Nice one Griffgirl.....cohesive - excellent description. Style - one instinctively knows when something is right

This is the first car ever fitted with them....

man, ya'll quit doggin his spoiler, go dogg mine instead. It's easyer.

Dude, Dont lissen to them, take the advice you want, get the parts you want. Customization is about transforming your car into YOUR car.

GRIFF; your like my B47 Wing? Your going to love how my tail-lights come out (just think, its not even going to be a toyota's conversion )
