let it peel and just make your car pink.

Fùcking sell it and buy something that isn't red... It pisses me off that much. I was actually getting to the point of wanting to keep the car, but no it's going to peel and look like shìt instead.

I hear you. I come so close to buying these red GTs around me but after seeing pics, I just can't do it. There was this red one that had the spoiler, door handles, and headlight areas PLASTIDIPPED black which didn't look too bad but I knew what it was hiding underneath.

The only cars that should be red are those made by Ferrari. Even then most models I'd want in something not red. I've thought about finding a black shell and swapping everything over. Not only is doing all of that a royal pain in the ass, but finding a shell with a clean title is even harder... If it was black or blue I'd be a lot happier with it. Had it not been my uncle's I wouldn't have bought it, solely for the fact it is red. I thought it was something I could overlook, but I guess I was wrong. I don't know what I'd replace it with though, as buying another Celica would just be kind of silly. That and people would really start to doubt my sanity.

hahah. wow. never seen a quadruple post before. nice!

yeah, and with the switching over, you'd be doing all that..... for an ST.

Exactly.... Would say find a GT with a blown engine and drop in a 1MZ, but I'm really wanting to go back to RWD anyhow.

Not really alot to do with clearcoat apart from complete respray. There are ways of hiding it, but in the end the colour is still be exposed and will easily fade.

I sold my last car because too many of the panels were beginning to do this. Bird crap had left cracks in it, and i was able to sell it before it got worse.

There are theree things you can do

A. Sell and buy a tidier Celica - You will lose a bit on resale...
B- Completely respray the car. This will cost a bit, but if you love the car enough then this is worth doing.
C- Ignore it and not worry about it. Some people don't really worry about it too much (i don't know why, my car must be in perfect condition lol)



Another thing you can do, is get like a 3M coating on your car. Like a film and you can customise your car to your own look. Ill send you a link at some point

I got it to where it's not as blatantly noticeable, at least from a small distance it's not too bad. I don't have very much in my car, I'll be able to break even if not make money. So that's not an issue. If I sell it I'll buy something else. I would respray the car, but I hate red. The cost of a proper color change would cost more than the car is worth. Ignoring it isn't an option either, I'm too OCD.

How come you bought a red car then? :S

Yeah im ocd about my car too... Slightest flaking it gets fixed. Since owning it i've managed to add a grand of value to it, even tho it was in really good cond when i bought it!

The only reason I bought it is because it belonged to my uncle. Had it not been for that I'd be in something else.

Buy a GT4 this time

I can't, we didn't get it over here. I'm thinking about a MKIII Supra Turbo.

D: that would be mean! Unfortunately over here we can't import vehicles older than 2005. Which is a shame.

If i had the money i'd buy a AE86 GT w/ bodykit. 50k later haha

Over here they have to be 25 years old or older to import and title. My first car was a MKIII Supra, so it'd be nice to have one again. Though this time with more choo choo sounds. All of the AE86's have been riced and ragged out by punk ass kids who think they can drift. Besides, it isn't faster than what I have now. Certainly isn't more comfortable either. The Supra is faster, and a million times more comfortable. So yay.

Not all AE86's are riced

My friend has one that is completely stripped back waiting to be restored, no rice on it

All the ones over here are trashed, so maybe your friend just got really lucky.
