My car that looks fast but isn't...

[Xtra Big Kahuna]

is that factory body kit?

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.

I like this, actually. A friend of mine has the same model with the kit, and indeed is slow as hell. But unfortunately that friend is done with the car modding scene now, and his mods are out of date if you know what I mean, lol... (rice)

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!

Haha ya. There are quite a few Celicas that haven't kept up and are just ricey.

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.

ew. Factory rice.

Who gave you the right to an opinion again?

Sorry dad.

Username.

Why are you still talking to me.

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.

No doubt about the handling. These do handle very well.

Also, oops look what I did cos I'm bored...

[sally pu]

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 ;-)

[Nick475]

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

[Nick475]

just make sure it doesnt turn out like this....

I'd say Keep everything, but the front bumper. Also, color match the gas door. Then, get something sort of aggressive up front like

front splitters

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

Holy moly, how in the fuuuuu? and why in god's name? but srsly....Who in their right mind? I give up

[NorCalFocus]

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

[dharker]

would look 10x better with a better kit

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.

Crap.... This is what I was going for. This car has definitely made the rounds on the other forum im a part of and lets just say it doesn't impress anyone.

front splitters

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.

[rice4life]

Thats going to look sick. I say keep the spoiler though, it really adds character to the car, and is functional.

That front bumper will really complement this car.

You should do a 2zzge swap and SS-II badges.




(Yeah, ignore my name, its about the food I eat, not the cars I like)

[Xtra Big Kahuna]

Ya. I will see how it looks with the spoiler on but I am most likely taking it off. It blocks some of my view and I am not really a big fan of it. The only reason it is on their is because it came with the car and there are a lot of holes underneath and I haven't had the cash to get them fixed.
