ahh i love that ss-four bumper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! agh must have...

>
about lip... my personal option to go would be this:



IMO this is great design combination!

>


uh so thats exactly what i want my celica to look like someday...

>

What did you use to mold the parts together? did you add any support on the back?

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!)

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 that old skool pic of my car haha. but see why i changed out my splitters? both types even? I needed a full lip solution. The splitters are never level with the skirts or to the front to the side and never complete.

I 100% agree with Mal

Looks great!

Clear indicators ?

ss-four bumper very like ......malpaso long time no see you .... when will plan go to HK join our celica meeting ?

note: that st. wheel looks amazing!

Im reallllllly jealous of your holding monster seat !!

Damn, fantastic-looking interior. Really nicely done.

its to bad you couldn't make the midwest meet. Either way that new parts look good!

>
Thanks Martin! The leather is a little worn out on the right side but its still in good shape.

>
Lol, thanks but its a pain to get in and out of that seat.


>
Thanks man, i'm currently try to get all the interior panels skinned with cf without the polisher to get the matt-dry look.

>
Yeah, i wish i could have went but without the clutch behaving right, i couldn't go anywhere. I'm keeping my eye open for the next meet.

HAWT.
love the steering wheel, and the seats!
how much was the beatrush front bar?

Nice Shig!

I can't wait to see the car again... We'll have to go out for a drink when I get home from school.

Did you keep the TRD rears? I think that a profile shot is in order.... Get out there and wash the car!

>

Got a deal because I directly went to their engineering facility and told them i'm bringing it back to america so for the front + rear i got them for just under $300. initial cost would have been in the $500 range since laile is the sister company of c-one.


>

I never had trd rears, they were ss-iii rears.
I was gonna wash the car last week but i dont drive it anymore and the girl's car was in need of a major bath.

yeah, call me up when you're in town.

>
My new wallpaper. GOODNESS that reflection looks amazing. Great progress man! I'm really loving the rims! One question, what paint did you use for the Euro splitters? I want to paint mine soon and I'm not sure what to use.

i LOVE this celi. should paint it black, red or white though imo only cause im not a fan of silver haha

>
It feels good to know there is someone out there using my picture and car for their wallpaper, thank you.
I used a spray can from automotivetouchup.com. They have the paint code for our cars. The paint is a little off do to my original pain faded with sun but results are pretty decent.

>
Thanks!
Yeah, a lot of my car buddies HATE silver with a passion. They say its not a sports car color. (Who said a celica is a sports car? )
Love black, it makes our car look so much better but they fade over time and swirl marks are so visible with black. I was thinking about repainting it black but then i would have to paint the door hinges, engine bay, and all the hard to get places that i won't be able to do myself. I want it to be a "complete" paint job (since i don't want the ghetto paintjob where only the outside is painted black and when you open the door all you see is silver...)
White is nice if i had a full kit on and also white gets dirty easily. I'm not at a place where i can give frequent car washes to make her look sharp.
Red? I have a friend that drives a red integra and he's always competing against me so i would try to stay away from red lol.

Reason why i'm repainting the car silver:
Even when the car is dirty. it looks clean.
No extra paint needed for engine bay, door hinges, etc.
I'm repainting it to a Lexus silver so it should SHINE. (yes all CAPS)

that is such a great pic.

please, please, please post your picture in here

I would like to see this beautiful car as Celica Of The Month once...

I posted that pic of both of our cars for this months COTM..... lol

>
I would not compare those two pictures .

love the car, gives me shivers

Haven't posted in months but the celica is at the hospital for the first time in 8 yrs of owning it.
It finally breaks something that I can't fix in the parking lot and this winter is not helping.
Such a bad time to break but it did well for the 8 yrs owning it.

Looking back at 2011, there are still numerous things i need to fix:
1. My carbon fiber wrap attempt was a FAIL. Need to re wrap it.
2. Ducktail spoiler won't stick to the hatch anymore. Thinking about just molding it on there but I still have the EURO spoiler block. Can't decide which one.
3. The fog light's wires caught on fire. Need to re wire it with thicker wires.
4. Still can't fix my horn. Just might buy an aftermarket one.
5. Not 6gc related but my 2002 GTS was totaled. Having a hard time finding a white exterior/black interior IS250 6spd in this area.

Hope 2012 gets better from here on out.

You need this horn

^ I'll take that into consideration

The silver '02 that was at the meet is totaled? That sucks. What happened? Hopefully nobody was hurt. What's wrong with the 6th gen?

My girl was driving across a street with no traffic lights, then a car came and hit the front passenger side causing her to spin around the way she came from.
Luckily she is safe, but the other driver had some neck injury. Her fault since she didn't yield but the guy was speeding. Also he never showed up in court so the ticket was lifted.

That 7th gen have seen two major accidents in the 1.5 years owning it. Its probably possessed. Time to move on.

As for the 204, its electric issues. The alt is done for, and most likely a short somewhere. Fixing the alt is easy but its the grounding issue that is too much work to find (especially with my work schedule)


BTW, I'm thinking about taking some winter pictures of my car in downtown soon so if anyone in the area is interested in a photoshoot tell me.
