Finally found my card reader. A few quick shots. It's dirty as heck. The spoiler is just resting on the trunk. Most of the car is getting repainted again. I found too many flaws and I'm not happy about that.

Where do you get that paint?

tell luis to clean the overspray off your tailpipe man!
wow, who knew oobe could actually WORK a camara?????
damn dude, you NEED your car to be done and get some REAL pics of it!!

oh snap un duende is messing with the rim on that black kar (suzuki jetta?)

nice color paint i like the cf risers

Uhh, where the hell are the camera phone pics?

But I'm not seeing any flaws except for that dumb overspray. Are you paying for the respray or is your painter taking blame?

Looking good! What kind of flaws are you not happy with? It looks GREAT on the pictures, but when u get close it might not be the same?

I bought it at my buddy's paint store. He's a PPG dealer.

LOL...right?

Nah, man, Luis just made the paint and sold it to me. The guy who painted it is a friend of Luis. He recommended him to me. That overspray was lousy attention to detail. Taping and papering is so easy. How can you screw it up, right? He's going to take care of it, though. I told him his shop is too dark and needs some good lamps. Awesome guy, though. He lends me his Isuzu truck or his '06 GSX-R 1000 when I need transportation.

Thanks, man. That's a Suzuki SX-4. It's a Chucky doll. Suzuki owners are the lamest ricers in the island.

Ferdi, he's paying for the paint and materials.

AnaXyd, the hood has little dings that both didn't see. They fixed the big ones but those ones that I saw were invisible with the primer. After it got painted, they became visible, but they still didn't see them. I literally have OCD and take medications for it. I can see a ding or imperfection in the reflection of the paint from a mile away. Also, the trunk lid has a lot of imperfections that weren't fixed. Front bumper paint is too thin and didn't stick too well. A little rock will take the paint off. He's coming to my house to repaint it and fix everything that I'm not happy with (the owner of the shop). The guy that did the bodywork is an older guy with mental problems but has a heart of gold. Bad thing is that he pays no attention to detail whatsoever. If it's something big, he'll fix it great, but little things just aren't his forte. Car looks fine from far away, but if you get close you can see those details, which aren't a big deal. Car looks beautiful, but I want it like OEM paint. I'm too picky, and I didn't pay $3000 to have imperfections that rob me from my happiness and give me stress. Those same wheels are getting repainted in matte black by the owner of the shop.

Pics of the carbon goodies. Nothing is installed. Just laying there, so that's why everything looks jacked up.

great color choice, it looks great! I can't wait to get mine done!

Thanks, 2C2L. What color are you getting yours painted?

i am having a hard time deciding but I've pretty much narrowed it down to the brand house of kolors "colbalt" or "blurple" "majestic" or even doing something outlandish like magenta this decision is super hard!!! what do you think?

Well, I think Celicas look good only in normal colors. Girly colors make the car look faggy. Magenta will look...yah...outlandish. I dunno. I think you should stick to a sports car color. And get a paint that is easily matched. Nothing worse than needing a repair on your car and the paint ends up not matching.

The Cobalt color would look amazing on your car.

Great color choice, love it! (I DO love shiny stuff! Oh, how I love shiny stuff... sigh.)

And yeah, go for the Canon point and shoot, they're definitely hands-down better than the Nikons.

yea I keep going back to the colbalt color, it stands out yet its still a sporty color and not too wild. have you seen it? I made a post with a picture of a sample of it

Yah. I've actually seen it at a car show. Looks awesome in person. It's a very deep color. Nothing at all like an OEM color. You should pick that one for your Celi.

Muchas gracias, Griffy!
