    That is where I am hoping to be in ride height here soon. I am just waiting for my extreme drop kit to arrive from BC.

    maybe carbon fiber spoiler insert

    Then, Paint the rear diffuser black to match the carbon fiber splitters.


    Other than that , space the wheels and go for the Functional track spec look.

    The kit isn't bad, but the front throws it off
    The fuel door actually ins't just painted and is actually a kind of rare piece from TRD and I personally like it. I feel like it adds to some of the aggressive style that the car has. Im not really into the track look with this car but if I was I would probably do some think like this



    Maybe a little lower though. This is pretty much exactly what I am going to be at here in a little bit. Only difference is that I will have smaller rims, I don't think I will get the window visors, and I think i am shaving my antenna. But that is the front bumper/lip I am getting.

    I think the black wheels get really lost in the wells. Lose the wing, paint the wheels, and it would look 100x better.

    i like where this is going. ignore the stupid kid lol. with a slightly less flashy body kit, it would look loads cleaner. personally i love seeing celicas that dont have the spoiler, but it is your car, so its up to you! love the wheels as well good luck with the rest of the build

    i always liked the way these looked all riced out from the factory...it proved that toyota was listening

    anyways I like what you have done with it and there have been a few nice celicas that I have seen...not many rock the huge trd wing but I like it. It's your car, you paid for it and so you get to decide it eternal fate!

    the only thing I would get rid of is whatever is covering your gas door. the wheels should be white too, bc everyone knows how sexy white on silver is! Props and enjoy the slowica ;-)

    The one thing that is nice about the car thought is even though it is slow it still corners very well even with stock suspension. Minimal upgrades makes it feel amazing.

    I was thinking about leaving the spoiler on when i was just going to repair the current bumper since I personally think it compliments the entire kit quite well due to the aggressiveness of the kit but since I am changing it up the wing has to go.
    No doubt about the handling. These do handle very well.

    Big kahuna, your car has a shit ton of potential. Don't know whether these are any of the looks your heading for, but ideas help get the ball rolling
    I realise a few of them are a bit 'ricey' for most of us on this forum, but hey, can't hurt!



    Just kinda felt this was the general direction you were headed with you build.

    I always wanted to see what my friend's car would look like fitted/slammed, and it doesn't look bad at all since your car has taken that route. I'd keep that spoiler on, fuck it!

    Yep. Its a TRD kit that Toyota used as the optional Action Package. The spoiler is actually functional too. Its kind of cool that it is functional but it definitely doesn't fit in the scene anymore and needs to come off. It was probably cool in 2000 though since that was when the kit was designed.
