My 040 super white 2 celica

I actually think this looks pretty good, people forget that you haven't had the car long. I also like the headlights as well. Its the internet, people will ****, plus there are tons of euro guys on here. they are programmed to **** anything JDM lol. Keep your head up and just ignore people, build your car how you want.

the xxr's are staying. and they will be for probably atleast two years.

and if you can find me an 18x9.5 wheel for 510$, you must be some sort of god.

Yeah, don't ruff your feathers man.. This is the internet!


I beg to differ on finding better wheels for around the same amount of money(5zigen or rota). Rotiform, 5Zigen, Fifteen52 and etc or even TSW would have looked better. IMO i would sell them and roll on stocks. Save for a few months and visit www.vrwheels.com once you get 1000.00

Other, than that.. the car's fine (if you love the HLs) good luck bud

FYI the reason why most ppl don't have real wheels is, because they're too impatient to save or don't want to do the homework. Most ppl just want to be told what looks cool and they go buy it; regardless if the decision will cause the car community to self-destruct. The best car build are the long thought out and planned ones. FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Take a chill pill man.

You're going to get a lot of abuse here as pretty much everyone here is going to tell you to get rid of the XXR's and get some different wheels.

Let me break it down for you, XXR's are generally garbage and frankly, they just suck. Do some searching on the site about the "real wheel vs. fake wheels" topic and you'll see pics and good opinions as to why not owning fake wheels is better for our community as a whole.

Anyways, this isn't a bad car. Still the headlights and taillights aren't my cup of tea, but atleast you have this low.

Carry on.

Apparently I'm the only one whose not allowed to mod their car. Put bags on an odyssey? Fuck yes. Slam an old corvette? Hell yes. Change anything on my celica? Your car is fvcking stupid.

Lowered the rear another Half inch. Unfortunately I'm almost maxed out.

I see where you are going with that.I don't plan on keeping these rims too long. But i'll probably be stuck with them for atleast two years until I can afford authentic wheels. But in the mean time, I still like them. And with the headlights, to every man his own.

I get that often. Idk why? I absolutely love the headlights and rims. Wasn't my first choice in rims, but the best price I could afford. It's nearly impossible to find brand new 18x9.5 rims for under 600.

And I say that on the headlights. On forums, people dislike them. But I have people walk up to me at gas stations and such and tell me specifically they love the wheels, drop, and headlights.

Let me give you some inspiration. This is my buddy's car (Xtra Big Kahuna), while he's still on replica wheels, Varrstoen does a good job with R&D, where XXR doesn't do any at all.

The headlights just look ricey, imho. I've seen them in person at meets around my area, and the opinion didn't change. Maybe I'm just too picky, but I'm just not a fan.

Keep it simple. I think that shaving too much off the rear looks strange. Clean the car up first before doing crazy mods.

The headlights will look great once the stripes and arch guards are gone.

That new bumper will look great. For the money required for the shaving the rear, you could get some used volks in need of some love or a new set of enkei's.

Cant you peel off the pinstripe?

I was going to shave the rear by myself. I was thinking it would make the car look cleaner. At work yesterday I saw a nice prelude come by and he had shaved his trunk. I liked it. I could just peel the stripe off, yes, however, again im worried about discolored paint underneat.

Black wheels on a white car is just meh to me. I agree on removing the pin stripe and fender edge things. Then I'd look at painting the mirrors white.

As far as better pictures, just shoot at an angle that shows the whole car.

Actually the mirrors are white, they are just dipped black. Once i start repainting doors, fenders, hood, bumpers, and trunk I will be losing the black/white two tone. But for now, I like it.
