>wack or nice? you'll notice the toms lip is higher than the splitters thats why i dropped it accordingly to make it less obvious. Its higher than my stock sides but would even be more higher with your 404 sides. where you gettin your money man.

Dude I was even supposed to go to Cairns next week. Looks less likely now since the hotel availability and rates went higher than my budget. Plus it was an out of the blue decision. Australia really looks nice in the pics. and you are only 4 some hrs away.

Wack = Out of this world. True it would sit higher, but when i dump my car (which is never lol) i wouldnt have to worry too much about killer ramps as the lip is high up and thin. Where do i get the money you ask? I just work part time at a grocery store while studying fulltime at uni.

Cairns ay? I live in sydney and i havnt even been there. Says alot doesnt it laugh.gif

I might hold off on this exterior mod, just seemed really awesome to do at the time as i was given the opportunity to do it (parts for sale). As im already quite pleased with the exterior and modding now should more aimed at suspension and handling.

damn part time grocery store worker balling JDM? thats awesome, you must be a good saver. or you're saving money cus you eating for free there. haha just playing... your car is coming along real nicely, good to know you still working on it, I almost stopped for a year until i went crazy and spent again. Can't wait for that suspension drop of yours, been waiting for a long long time. haha cheers

Nice. Do you feel a difference? I would do the same, but I'd be afraid of upsetting the balance even more, and I really don't have any fast or suspension mods to support weight loss. Car's already light enough anyway.

And no, it's because you omitted 'want'...it's sort of an internet joke, don't worry about it.

they are the most rarest thing you can get for a celica now. Not many people have it unless theirs came with it.

ya i think i agree with that, you got any close ups of the window visors installed on your car whatthe? im curious if it really makes a difference or not, cuz my problem is, when i wash my car, water gets in through the tiny gap of the window and gets my interior all wet haha

Ops i meant to have want in there. I havnt done any extreme hard turning at all since ive had it on, been busy with exams. Tho after i had it on it felt abit better turning naturally. This could possibility be a placebo affect... My rear is really stiff for some reason, i do have new oem monroe shocks that could be why. But still without spare tyre its stiff over bumps and ****.

Yeh man. Gotta have the parts to make the car stand out from the rest. And it makes me feel good that i have some rare visors. Its the little details that make the car nice. Now that i think of it i didnt buy it off rpmgarage. I bought it off ebay off a seller called jdm _import or something. A good deal on it too since i was fighting for it with only one person.

Yeh go to page 4 and there are a couple of pics. I think i know what you mean a tiny gap, where the rubber seal meets the window when the door is closed? One thing is certain which my dad told me. Dont close the door by the window! All the force will go into the window to close the door which is bad. If you do it constantly somethings going to go wrong. Especially tell your passangers to close the door by the door and not the window.

yea i make sure the door is closed not by the window, but wat i meant was, when my window is closed all the way, right at the top theres a tiny gap that you cant see, and water gets right into it, its been like this ever since i got the car though, but i think window visors will stop that water from ever coming in, i just gotta find a good deal
