>>Hello all, The name is Marco and i live in San Antonio. I bought my celica in april of 07 for $2300, I have been a member for a minute now, and i want to start my progression thread since i have seen many on this website. Well, lets begin!

4-17-2007
Here are some pics of when i brought her home the first day
when i first purchased the car i wasn't really into it like i am now.
a couple of things tha you may see or not see is the sun damage on hood and roof. >>

>>INTERMISSION!!!!!! For about a year the celica was sitting and i didn't have any enthusiasm to work on her....

during this time i purchased a 92' 300zx n/a black on black (if you would like some info or see pics pm me, want to stay with celica!) i kept the 300zx for about five months...thats when i started getting into the upgrade mode!!!!!

>>

>>6-22-2009
I finally gathered some cash flow to put into the celica
as you can see i got my limo tint (5%) all around, and my 19" motegi's sitting on Kumho Ecsta Tires 215/35/19
those rims used to be on a 2007 Mazda 3 Hatchback which belonged to my older brother.>>

>>as you can see my driver side fender pinched, that happened while i was at school...

>>

>>7-22-2009
About a month later i got a nice Candy Apple Red paint job,projectors, H.I.D. (which i don't have a night pic yet), and clear corners >>

>>8-15-2009
I was contemplating on getting my interior refurbished but never had the time to, and didn't want to go without a car for a week or so.....so what i did was search on this site and found something outstanding!!!!

Some before and after on my interior

with nasty seat covers>>

>>now w/o seat covers.....lol>>

>>Taking out the stock shifter...>>

>>Floor mats>>

>>Almost done..installed trd quickshifter..still need to swap out original steering wheer for 7gen wheel!>>

>>9-17-2009
JDM Tails arrived and installed!!!!!!>>

>>9-22-2009
I am quiet done with my interior....today ups stopped by and dropped off a little present!!

i am sad to say i did not purchase the pioneer 8" speaker due to my father getting me a pyle 8" speaker as a gift...
have been tempted to sell and go ahead to purchase the pioneer 8"....but wouldn't want to upset my dad.....and the car will be bumping LOUD enough anyways!!!

I'm not a fan of the 19's (design is fine, but it makes the car look like a donk), but that interior is cleeeaan. Black leather with red stitiching...exactly what I would have. Props, good sir.

Well, they do look good. Good deal then. I would just rather have 17's, just saying.

I'm surprised the tire is so skinny though, it's the same width I have.

Good lookin' ride there!

I especially like the floor mats and the Pioneer audio setup. Are you planning on getting an amp a little later?

PS: You purchased your GT on my birthday...that makes it and you very lucky.

I'm digging the whole thing, sans the 19" wheels. I know you got a killer deal on them, but I think they destroy the flow of the car. Even with sportlines, you are probably going to rub, and might get down to stock ride height. I think you should post up on your local craigslist and see if anyone has wheels they'd like to trade, or you can pick up a set of Scion tC wheels for pretty cheap. Or a similarly designed wheel a couple sizes smaller.

x2 on the tC rims...but if you could trade down to Motegi in size 17, that would be awesome as well.

Again, exactly the interior I'd take. How much did you pay for the wheel?

Let me rephrase that: the interior I want when I have the funds.
It sucks...it looks soooo good, but that is ridiculous for just a wheel.

Sound system looks good man.

Well, I just don't have much cash in general...less to do with the economy, really. Just a poor college student.
