Never would have thought that it would clean up so nicely. I think it could move up some cloxer to the bumper.

I like the progress you have made with your car. Your car was showing some wear as expected with the age, but the new interior and paint job really make it look new again. You ought to take some Meguiers Plastix headlight cleaner to those headlights...it will get rid of any cloudiness or light pits you may have. Really does a good job. Have you put the TRD extensions on yet? Those always look good! The only other thing, you ought to see if a muffler shop can straighten out your exhaust, looks like it curves down a lot as if it is dragging some. Do you plan on installing OEM sideskirts to go along with the bumper extensions?

blah priorities should be drop and fix the fender/bumper before you start extensions...the celica is blessed with great lines stock...get those in order first. other than that, very clean!
Woah dude, it looks absolutely amazing! (except for the exhaust lol, but i'm sure you can get it closer to the bumper)
I'm just curious, how much did it cost to upgrade all of that?

>>>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!!!
