It's like driving a photoshopped Ferrari with splits and 6" lips...

Update... I think I have a solution to get another 25mm spacer on the fronts. Will post pics of the process and hopefully the result is full range of steering when finished.

The rear fitment looks spot on. Are you going to space up the front more?

this is still so cool man

would love to see some rollers of this.... some highway clicks maybe....

Thanks. Me too, actually. I have no idea what this car looks like driving. I mean, I can guess, but...

FAUX30. Well played.

More pictures of the exterior please!

Ok...


Got my drilled and black cad plated rear rotors on finally

Rear is also spaced another 25mm. That makes them ET-75 now. The back of the brake rotor is about where the inner wheel lip is.

I don't think I'll do something like that unless it's for a winter set.

Good stuff. I could live with the wheels maybe. It's tough to say. Definitely a head turner.

I think the interior is looking great. The only thing that throws me off is the steering wheel. It looks "cheap" compared to everything else. Either way, I'm loving it.

Couple new pics. The Momo sills just arrived tonight. I didn't even know they made those.

IDGAF if its a celica or not. this thing is dope.

The purists may get their panties in a bunch, but I think that this is incredible. The amount of craftsmanship and custom work involved is bar none. Next time someone on here replies with a snarky comment, ask them how much planning went into lowering and fitting a set of wheels onto their otherwise generic car......lol. It might not be "perfect" but then again there isn't really another Celica converted into a Ferarri to compare it to so I suppose it's all in the eye of the beholder.

Keep doing what you do man, i'm a huge fan!

Thanks. I also think I figured out part of the fitment problem. 99% of cars (and even the real f430) have the front of the fender well match the rear of the fender on the bottom from an outward protrusion perspective. If you look at this kit, the fronts of the wells stick out further than the rears (where the side skirts are). I don't really mind it in person, but it does especially from rear angles make the wheels and tires look further in the fender wells. From the front views you don't notice it as much because they are where the eye expects them to be in relation to the side skirts. In my garage and because I generally back into parking spots, I rarely notice the front being further out.

I've always loved the mega width of this thing versus a "normal" car, so I doubt I'll do extra work to suck in the bottoms of the front bumper.
