>ha i know, when i went to look for a new hood to try to paint to see if i could actually look good they wanted 155 for it at a salvage yard



Did you get one? I have a '95 hood I could give you for free. You'd do me a favor by taking it out of my garage haha. Seriously, lemme know. No dents, no rust.

Riser blocks look good. Hurry up and get them on the car!

Of course it would.


Of course it would.

Ok joke over, actually I prefer painted. The black risers always look unfinished to me, but that's just my opinion. Get a body shop to match your paint color. Shouldn't be too hard wink.gif. Also, if you want the hood, just come up and pick it up. I'd bring it down to the meet, but.. well.. obviously, it won't fit in my car haha.

I wouldn't leave them primer'd, but I would hit them with satin/flat black paint. Worth a try.

Definitely throw some flat black paint on them. The primer isn't bad, but it scratches off pretty easy. The flat black is like $4 from AutoZone. You can get away with it for a while until you get the funds to have them professionally painted or have a bunch of other parts that need paint.

Very nice smile.gif. However, I still think to this day, I'm the only Celica owner here who prefers stock lights over JDM/Euro style. haha. The vertical sections, the amount of them, ect. I love.

Looking good though. When you eventually respray the car, are you going a different color or staying the same?

still not sure, most likely i will stick with this color for 3 reasons, its unique not alot of people with this color kept it, it will be cheaper to paint, and its actually grown on me since i got it, at first i hated it but i like it alot now

Yea it would be unique. It would be nice to see someone baby one of this color, that's for sure. I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of the color either, however the tinted windows really helped so I'm assuming after you do all these mods it's going to look great.

I mean, my GT was white and looked like horse dung haha. After I gave it some love it looks beautiful. Btw, when you are ready to get ready to get it resprayed, lemme know. I'll make sure you get it done right and cheap smile.gif.

Wrong. I like them tinted. But JDM tails are in the future as well.

I didn't mind them that much either. But you're probably the only person to prefer USDM over JDM, to be more specific.
