Interior parts around Shifter, Headunit and Steering wheel are now White. Turnt out ok but could be better...

Also Dash lights (Tacho, Speedo etc.) are now Blue instead of the stock Green.

and got the 2 12' Subs installed in Temp boxes till my carpenter mate makes up a full custom boot to level out that stupid spare and sit the subs where the parcel shelf should be.

Will get the pics of the new exhaust up as soon as i remember to take them during the day... but the did a good job, all black piping and mounted on all the original mounts.

hopefully getting a new spoiler this week

Question:

Looking at this spoiler for the Celica:



I can get it in either Primer or Carbon Fiber style.
Primer is $238 and can be painted to match my car for approx $150
carbon is $400

Now i plan on installing it as soon as i get it so if i was to get the plain primed one i would have it painted now and then again when i get my car fully repainted in a new color...
or i get the carbon fiber style one chuck it on and its all sweet


What do you think would look better? in the long run it has to look best on on of these colors as they are the two color/looks I am leaning towards unless anything else catches my eyes between then...

Glossy Green


Gloss Black



Thanks for your help and suggestions people, Much appreciated.

Update: All work and no play, Makes it hard to find time to get some stuff done on the car..


But with the spoiler decided to give it a miss. 2 weeks ago Friday was driving home from the city of Adelaide to where i live in the country at 2am swerved a kangaroo and hit the guard rail, Ruining the front bumper front driver side quarter, rear bumper and denting the back rear side quarter/body.

Luckily for full insurance its getting all fixed up and to stop it from being a write-off i had to skip getting the OEM front and rear bumpers and get the VeilSide ones as they are cheaper That is a very big positive in the whole situation...

haha seems to be a positive in a negative...


So they should be on and all fixed up before the end of this week then to get the skirts and get them on and painted. After that saving for the full respray in a new color.

nice choice with the veilside invader style kit (i have the same also) your celica looks really nice, and i also like the color on yours, i just recently got my celica so it will be cool to see how yours progresses as mine does, looking forward to more pics

try getting black paint with a lime green pearl thrown in it?

#41

hey welcome

i think 2" is the standard size exhaust pipe diameter on the non turbo celicas.

either 2 1/4 or 2.5" exhaust from the front to the rear would be a good upgrade, i don't think in australia you are allowed to remove the cat?

haha little late for Exhaust tips as i have had the 2.25" put on for a while now but thanks. and when I looked it up and looked under the car it has no Cat? i was told an internal one... not sure if thats true or not....


black paint with a lime green pearl thrown in: Sounds interesting any pics that may demonstrate this thanks?

obnoxious green: Assuming this is the green I'm after similar to the other one i uploaded a few posts back?


Also a question, with the headlights, what are the stock ones? what are projectors? benifits of HID kit?

and a pair of spotlights/fog lights to fit well in the Veilside Invader kit maybe an Ebay link please? (Australian if possible)

Thanks for the feedback people. will have new pics hopefully in a few days..

yeah obnoxious green was reffering to the color a few posts back, but not at all being a ass lol, i like bold colors and sticking out like a sore thumb lol
Also 94 preface (orange) blinkers will not work with the invader front bumper. you need to get clears from a 96+ from experience.

I put in these fog lights, more show than anything but they look very nice in the dark and they were like $5, ill get a link if u like them. Pretty simple to put in, requires a little cutting but if u can install the bumper you can install the fogs

Not a big fan of the Black and green pearl. As Mgnt232 said, I also like the boldness and sticking out like a sore thumb

That's a pain to know about the Indicators because I'm not the one fitting the bumpers and I'm fair sure the guy doesn't know this -.- I need to find me some clear side indicators and front ones. ebay isnt showing any at all anyone got a source thanks?

Those fog lights also look very nice but as I said I'm not installing the bumpers so not sure as to how id go with installing them. Don't know if I could bring my self to start cutting away at the body...

The only ones you NEED to replace are the front turn signals, they are just a little different shape. The side ones are just your preference, they dont need to be replaced (idk if there was confusion there).

►Link to fogs◄ ►Another Link to Fogs◄
►Link to Clear Sides and Blinkers. Ships to AU◄

You can install them very easy too, just need a drill and a pencil to outline. Dont even need to fill anything

Thanks heaps for those links. Some reason they weren't coming up in my ebay searches? maybe a filter or something...

Is it possible if you could post a few snaps of your car in the dark with just the fog lights on and then the fogs and head lights please, Thanks

Yeah I can get some more pics, but I dont actually have the pics so Ill take some tonight if I can find my cam, glad to know ur a little interested

Hold up, just realize you have a pic of them in action up a few posts they look good..

Also with the original 94 indicators how would the body worker go just temp putting them on for now till the 96+ ones come in? whats the difference?

Thanks again for all the info big help

mgnt232

#51

Yeah I posted one a pic of them working, but i dont have a pic with the actual headlights, just my LED's.
The 96+ clear turns are just a different shape completely, they have a different curve that allows them to fit in. The 94 would involve alot of cutting from what I saw trying to fit them in, and then i asked a few members and it was confirmed that they dont fit
I just drilled a hole and ziptied them, for the week for so I didnt have the clear turns. Makes more sense in the pic below. Or you can just leave them dangle, at night the whole hole (where blinker would be) will light up, But cant be seen in the daylight (if dangled). And most of my driving was done in the day. Hard to explain

Hey there guys, this is a local 6gc with the 94 front indicators on the invader front.It looks like he just screwed it on without any cutting here and there.You could do the same till the those clear ones come arrive.

No offense, put that looks kind of ugly with the 94-95 front indicators

Lol,i agree.the clear ones are best suited.Just a humble suggestion for lilguy till hes gets the clear ones.

lilguy

#55

Yeah talked to the Crash Repair and he said he will sort out a temp solution without cutting or marking them...
and will order the 96 ones as soon as i get paid. (anyone know if i get the set with the bumper indicators and the side guard indicators will the 96+ guard indicators fit the 94? or should i get the 96+ bumper ones and 94 guard ones?
