great job so far! can't wait to see the final results!

I am loving it!!!! I have been waiting untill i win the lotto to spend all sorts of money in my celi and THIS was on the list! I am SO SO SO SO SO jealous!!! It looks really amazing, you did a GREAT job with it, you should be very proud

finally had time to paint my rear SS3's

I ordered 199 paint online


sanded down original paint, then primer and paint


clear coat and baking stage
at least 3-4 layers of clear coat but the reflection was sharp enough

you can see the reflection of the heater, good enough for me

due to the bolts that hold these in the rear snapped on me, i used double sided automotive tape.
taking off the old double sided tape was a hassle but finally got it off


from the rear


I need to do something about the duck tail... its not a perfect fit so its lifting up on some parts... double sided tape or epoxy i guess

The color was a perfect match for my rear bumper but not so much with the rear fenders.
As some of you may know, i have a total of 6 different celica's body parts on my car so i have about 4 different shades of silver.
But don't worry, i will be going lexus silver or black in the future so until then, this will have to do.

Great job Shig

Just sell me your exhaust you fool. lol.

Looking really really good !! Any pic of rear side shot?

wow... this shot is amazing!

^ really? haha thanks, its just a picture i took because whatthe asked me to

TA-DA!






Not as light as i thought but i know they are extremely strong rims.

RC stand for Rally Competition

sweet.

OH it's lookin' gooooooooooooood. :Drool:

wow dat looks fockin nice.....nice job

I just now found this thread... I have no idea where I have been. Car's looking great! Keep up the good work.

when the hell did this happen?

And why those amazing pictures were not in calendar submissions?

Feb. 11, 2009 For some reason it looks like a Badger to me

needs a front lip

The front end reminds me of the 7g so much. I really dont like the Euro Splitters but hell I think they would look great on your car, complete the look.


Either way looks great, I wanna try this out

Ay Shig! Why didn't you put these up for the Calendar? Those shots are by far one of the most amazing shots I have ever seen.

Early this year

Because i don't think its good enough to be in the 6gc calender. There are many more other member's ride that are calender worthy.

A badger? gee thanks, i don't know if i should be hurt by you saying that or just feel insulted and deal with it.

Yeah, other people suggested a lip too but it didn't look clean with the current choice of lip. My original plan was with one on but dropped the idea since the prototype image on photoshop.
I currently have euro front splitters on now and still need to paint them and see if i like them like that, and am in the process of photoshopping other front lips onto the car.

but sadly, don't have the flexibility of money now. Just bought seats for the driver side not too long ago and spending money on my girl's 7gen to fix it.

thanks!

yeah, they're on there but its black now so you can't see them with the shadows

I don't know if anyone responded about this already but instead of painting it black Toyota actually has inserts that goes into the teeth. Thats why one of my teeth is silver is because i found out there were covers on them. I've been meaning to take pictures of it. ( don't know if anyone has already done it yet though)

>

yea they are just covers, regular toyota part number. But shig you need to find the rare magic or euro lip for the preface and then BALLLAAAA!

yeah i'm aware about the inserts for the teeths, someone mentioned them to me, but i decided to keep them silver for NOW. (still need to toss my options around)

i already have a photoshop version of the EUROU lip on the car. As of right now, i am 95% sure i am getting one, or try to get one. One concern is that it makes it look more like a genuine st205 and less the SS3/Gt-Four hybrid version hence loosing the "uniqueness". They look so similar that even members on here wont notice its a GT-III (my version of ss-four) conversion without someone telling them so.
as of the aeromajic, it was my first choice back last year when getting all the parts together. I didn't like the look, i thought i would but it just didn't click for me. I also did c-one lip too but that looked just oh so hideous.

i'm in the process of putting those photoshop jpeg up on my blog.

will post them here too after i get out of my lab

I respect that but strongly disagree . You car and you pictures is perfect material for calendar...

shig the euro lip for the gt4 and the preface look different, much smaller. you'd be the first. the magic lip is big itll look more aggressive if you like it that way.

>
thanks martin, coming from you is an honor. Well, another reason is that i never took the time to take pictures with the rims on it. If i were to submit the pictures to the calender, it would have to be with the advans on

>

here's a link to my page where i introduced the options for the front lip in a timeline starting from last year
but i'll just run through the basics here:

here is a picture with the magic lip. I liked at first but the more i look at it the more i hated it


Then i decided to go with the EURO splitters:


but after doing the conversion, i notice that the front splitters are still to high compared to the skirts and it doesn't show very much. And people will suggest me to get a lip even thou i have these on (meaning they can't see them! too small! need to paint!! or change them!)

and before doing the conversion, i always liked the EUROU bodykit look
so i photoshopped them with the gt-four hood


I love the look and its my favorite out of the choices i have and i am almost certain that i will be buying this (or try to) lip anytime next year, but then again, compare it to the genuine gt-four

they are almost identical.

other issues are that if the lip will go too low compared to the skirts...
in that case i don't mind getting the EUROU skirts either but...

... i'm lost

I love the stance and the look of the 6g with the magic lip, I would defintaly get that to complete your look. But since you don't like it the last lip isn't a bad choice either.





Edit: Strange my post came out as a code

I don't think so shig, the lip shouldnt go lower either higher or equal. In fact just to let you know the toms lip i have is ~1.5" higher than my sideskirts. Thats why i assume the euro lip will be either equal or higher. But even if it was lower, its best to have the front the lower part of the kit rather than the sideskirts as you mentiond.

veryvery nice. good work
