Something is missing off the back end.
I like the look better without. I should have done this a long time ago.
Also replaced my shot energy suspension rear bushings with new ones and actually properly greased them this time lol.

Indeed. I've done the same myself recently. Just looks better without the badges.

I'm contemplating doing something with the front and rear emblems too... but I don't want to paint the vintage Dragon emblem... the rear is flaking chrome a bit... EH!

I know the rear has two holes for the emblem, not sure about the front.

The front also has 2 holes for the locating badges. I think Toyota figured us modders would get hold of them eventually lol
Maybe paint them black for contrast on a white car? I was going to on mine but then I lost the badge

Plasti-dip them!, they will match your smoked indicators!!
I'm contemplating doing it aswell, but plasti-dip is so expensive here

Real Japanese plates from Sapporo Japan. Has a 94 in it, like my Celica's year, and has the correct number (ish) for the engine displacement! Sew happy my friend bought them for me.
Here's to wishing NY State didn't need front plates.
Relocated my bracket today. Will be ordering a GodSpeed triple core radiator and slim fans soon along with a stainless universal hose kit so that I can make it past the Tanabe headers that will go in soon.

GodSpeed Radiator and slim mount fans are on the way in the mail. Moog sway bar links are sitting on my back seat. Hopefully tomorrow I can pop them on.

Plate is lower and angled into grille. Going to fill the holes and get the bumper repainted come spring.

front plates are the worst. I refuse to register my car in MD for that reason. You found a great way of dealing with it though!

I don't know what the big fuss about not having a front plate is about. In most countries in the world you need a front plate, and so the result is that you get used to seeing the car with a plate... then it looks odd and kinda naked if you remove it.
Some cars would totally benefit from not having a front plate, say for example Alfa Romeos- 'cos if its a choice between a plate not in the center and no plate on an Alfa I'd go for no plate.
How do you guys drive across different states with different laws? Do you not get fined?

No. Different state, different laws. Federal law does not require front plates, only certain states. And one state's laws cannot require residents of a totally different state to do things differently.

My biggest issue is that the plate was right on the body line. Also, the plate bracket was totally rusted and seized to it's self, so I couldn't even get the plate off lol. I had to cut the bolts off and I just got a Japanese plate I wanted to mount, so not being able to take the front plate off was not happening.

This is what mine looks like. Its held on by only two bolts. No rust but, gosh the bumper is all bent inwards around the bracket. I guess from people parking enthusiastically. That's another problem with having no plate. I guess scrapes and bumps from tow bars(THE HORROR!) are going to happen easier.

Mine looked like that at one point. Should have seen it after I got it off... Looked like a bear mauled it.

Could've chosen a better dubstep track at least, but damn they chose the most annoying one they could find (coming from somebody who listens to dubstep on a daily basis...)
Anywho, OP, if you're going for that style of wheel I'd look into XXR 527, 530, 531 as well. I love how 531s look on some cars, and 527s look good on just about any car that can fit the 8.25" version (celicas can, and comfortably)

Got around to changing the rear sway bar links today and this is exactly why you go Moog for all your chassis parts:
Easiest way to get the OEM ones off:
And if that doesn't work, you get a bigger vice grip lmao:

I always felt that the 513s were for older cars, like 70s datsun 240z's etc. They are the big thing in the Z-car forums. They look reeeeally good on an early Z-car.
I've noticed that pretty much any kind of rim looks good on these cars. The only kind that I've noticed that doesn't, would be those giant plate looking ones.

Did an alright acceleration video for my exhaust. I'll get a drive by one during the day when my friend has time out on her land in the middle of no-where.

Also found some old footage of what I did on the interior of the Camry before she died:

This was back in my younger teenage years when I liked flashy lights, subwoofers and VIP cars.
Now I'm going a similar route with the Celica... guess we revisit our roots eventually.
