To post pictures, you copy/paste the image code (the one that starts and ends with [IMG]) to the post, and it will show up as a picture.

Not bad not bad. I have a black/red theme going in my car too, very nice work it looks like though. I'll have to see how mine turns out compared to yours - I'm thinking about adding some yellow as an accent color to the center console, but we'll see.

not my cup of tea, but its your car biggrin.gif imo a little too much. subtle is usually best. i would just hate it everytime i have to wipe down the interior.

its not bad actually, the dust only seems to stick to the black parts. the paint seems to keep it off. works well

be sure to send some pics of what your interior ends up looking like. I was thinking of adding some other color, to spice it up a bit. im not sure where to get red celica seats? send me some links and info would be glad to look into it.

You don't get Celica seats, you grab aftermarket ones - Sparco, Tenzo R, I think Yokohama makes seats - look around, I know our seats look dated compared to the rest of the interior and that's probably why you strapped the covers on there, but it's much more worth it to have nice real seats in there. I have 25th Anniversary seats, so that'll be the last thing I replace on my interior.

But yes, will do lol. that yellow accent is starting to sound better and better.

SS-III seats like mine would look great in there and are a bolt on swap with nice side bolsters. Aftermarket seats are too ricey IMO

mine used to be silver/green and i needed a change. white and blue look good together. if you can keep it clean white looks amazing in the car. i jus noticed you dnt have power windows or anything. thats one piece that looks good when its painted to set apart some colors on the door panels. i was wonderin what white/yellow would look like tho

Not true. They might be a bit big, but I would love to have liljoe's seats. On the other hand, I think black is the only way to go with the interior...I wouldn't change a thing, minus the seats and a leather 3-spoke wheel.

OMFG i know right! like the middle piece was pretty hard to get out and back together in my car, but the right A/C vent wont freaking budge, I cant seem to understand, all the other ones just popped out, but just one had to be ridiculous. Some one on 6GC should tell us how to remove=]

I dont actually know what picks are, but can you explain why that, and JUST that vent cover is hard to remove?

Power windows were an option on ST's. My first Celica didn't have power windows.

i'll have to get a couple pics of mine...
i didnt go totally nuts, but i did the vents, center panel, tweeter covers, and rear speaker covers in the same paint i did the exterior with. (toyota 8L5 with a few extras wink.gif )
with a few hrs of prep, you can get the texture out of the vents for a nice smooth finish.
