Well recently my car rolled back on a friends driveway and the rear splitter touched an unseen rock:





And just a shot in the car park:

Nothing super glue and some duct tape can't fix.

Unfortunately, it is cracked in a few places and deeply scratched frown.gif

I probably won't do anything about it unless it gets worse >.<

Well as most know, when Josh was down at my house for a few days, we went on a photo-shoot to a local boat ramp. Anyway, the other day I went back there for lucnh with my girlfriend and we decided to walk the bridge in the background of those photos...
Here is a photo josh took, showing the bridge we were on:


Here is a photo looking down towards the boat ramp, I circled my car for reference:

So this week my Vincent_Doggy leather interior pieces. Only got the arm rest cover on as I didn't have time for the door inserts and the hand brake boot does not fit frown.gif
Before:


After:



Looks a lot better than before, and was fairly straight forward to install!

I'll get it on one way or another....
I was considering getting a set off her, but the materiel is slightly different from Vincent_Doggy's and that would piss me off too much >.< I am kinda OCD like that tongue.gif

You're talking to Mr. OCD, so I get you in that regard.

Well, this is a BIG update.
I will start with the small news, which is that the old door strikers are gone (Special thanks to Richie for getting them for me):



And the new strikers are on:

(Photo-bombed by the GF)


And, the big news. With a GIANT thank you to Josh, I now have a set of Half Riser blocks on their way from Japan!

Have fun seeing out from the rear view mirror tongue.gif

Awesome that Josh was able to find those risers for you. I have been tossing up as to get the GT-4 / SSIII spoiler or not but just the vast size of it put me off it. Now with these half blocks I think it would look fantastic! so jealous. My Celica is at the garage at the moment getting a major service done to her so the funds will be down a little bit again frown.gif so no major modding going on for me.
Well, got some stuff done:
Started with a mad scramble of changing to my Caldina Alloys


Drove to the Tyre Shop and half an hour later:


And then another half hour after that, Alignment was complete and the new tyres were installed. $560 total, and I chose Toyo Proxes CF1 over the Kumho KU31 since the KU31 are directional and I am sick of that haha

Got back home and had a faceoff (the new tyres are great):




And, now that its done I have gone through the National Park pretty hard, and woooow the difference is amazing... These tyres are 100x better than the Roadstone crap that were on my 15" wheels...


Next paycheck comes in on the 28th and Spacers will be on the top of the list to get (y)

Good choice with the Toyos over the Kumhos. Kumhos are garbage. Cheap, yes, but you get what you pay for.

Now give me your rims as spares.

Woke up this morning to find:


Unwrapped them and:


After procrastinating for a while, my girlfriend wanted the splash guards installed so I got to work deciphering the Japanese instructions (Just in case installation wasn't as straight forward as it looked). My girlfriend decided to wash my windows while I worked and around 5 minutes later:





They look really nice on a white car! Big thanks to Rusty for these!
And Big Thanks to Josh for arranging the Half-Riser Blocks!

Those window deflectors really suit the white Celica.
I know its only a small mod, but I like the subtle little TRD stockers on the wing mirrors too.

Thanks!

I am contemplating changing the mirrors too black though, to match the riser blocks....
Will have to see what it looks like with them white first
