That's what I plan on!

I got my Falken 512's installed and got an alignment done today. Hooray for new shoes!

I never had the clear turns, I bought the sidemarkers from a member on here awhile back...

Hope you find my car though, good stuff on it.
Just painted my OEM strut bar SSIII red. Kind of a useless mod, I know, but it looks better than the stock black. Plus it's a Thursday afternoon and I had nothing to do, so why not? I'll put up a picture later when it cures enough to install.

Oh damn, I didn't know you had a progress thread. I feel like a jackass now. I have to say man, you are coming along really nicely with it all and I'm loving every step you are taking! Keep up the great work and hopefully I can meet up with you one of these days thumbsup.gif
Thanks man! I sure hope so! Will you be able to cruise with us on Sunday?

Maaan you had to move already?! I really wanted to meet up with you before you moved frown.gif

I can still admire your progress on here though thumbsup.gif Hope you enjoy it down there man! Maybe one of these days I'll run into you tongue.gif
I'll be coming back regularly, so definitely!

Since I had to move to Albuquerque for college, I'm now out of a job. So until I find a job over here, no more significant progress frown.gif

But I did finally take out the disgusting sticker that went over the top of my rear window! 2 razor blades and a damp paper towel took care of it. For some reason, it smelled like complete crap..

i know this is a stupid question but what is that this right behind the right( when you looking from the front) strut. it looks like a megaphone or something.

It takes 8,460 bolts to assemble an automobile, and one nut to scatter it all over the road.Celica: The name is derived from the Spanish word for "heavenly" or "celestial".Back-2-Back July COTM 15&16

It's actually for the alarm. It's the horn for it lol. No question is ever a stupid question!

In other news, I found out that it's legal to not have a front plate in New Mexico. Bye bye, front plate!

Yeah, the navy throws me a few bones here and there.
Finally some progress! I bought a spare ash tray from mkernz22 (I didn't wanna mess my original one up if my little project didn't work out). So I got it today, and I had some CF sticker that I wasn't too sure about, so I started wrapping the spare with it. To my surprise, the adhesive was GREAT! It stuck really nicely and I was able to wrap the ash tray lid pretty well. Job well done, I'd say!

In my dorm, just finished it. My roommate was eying me weird the whole time. Like "Wtf is he doing?"


Installed

I'm a pretty big fan of that sticker stuff. I've always had it planned in my head to throw it onto assorted pieces in the interior.

Gotta say that looks real real nice!
Thanks guys! That was my very first shot at wrapping anything!
