Sell stock or flush?

You know? If you see any flaws with that, please point them out.

Put all the stock parts back on the car

Try to peddle the eBay junk (headlights) off to teenagers on craigslist.
Dump your wheels for $400 to someone who has a 5x100 car.
Remove all the striping/plastidip/tinted tails.
Leave the spoiler on it.

Find a set of halfway decent wheels, lower your car the right way, and enjoy it. Your car with a moderate drop and a set of nice 17" wheels would look damn good.




OR


Sell it. I never, ever suggest anyone I know buying a car with mods, and I tell people to run when they see cars with cheap mods (tinted tails, ebay parts, etc.). At least a stock car opens up your car to a larger demographic (someone looking for a stock car to enjoy, girls looking for something "sporty" to drive around in, highschool students' parents who are looking for a first car for their kid that isn't abused, etc.)

I think you should work on redoing the Toyota, before jumping into a BMW. Your pay is if you get a full time job, so what if you get it and get laid off a year later? Then you lose your BMW too.

You can make the Celli a car that you'll like. Don't let others influence what car you get.

get it back to stock clean it up and sell the parts separately...clean and clear...

I see where you're going. Good point. However, this is also to be down the road. Obviously if I don't have a job, and have no money, it will e a no brainer. But now I have a full time job with 30% pay increase. If I can manage to dig myself in and keep this steady job, I don't think I'll have the problem with the bimer. But as I said, it all depends on where I'm at down the road.

If this isn't happening right now then why the hell are you asking about it? Why not keep with the Celica until you actually have money to buy a new car and not worry about how you are going to sell it?

first, how are the headlights ebay junk? they are spyder auto. Im pretty sure they are a reputable company. but anyways, my old headlights are cracked and oxidized from the inside so im not effing with them. I was planning on doing exactly that with the wheels.
tinted tails are already gone. as soon as the mods open my build back up, ill post my new stuff. striping will also be coming off. And the spoiler is still coming off. especially if i keep the car.
and how is my car lowered the wrong way? its not like i bought 350 rokkors. I bought a thousand dollar street setup. My only issues are the spring rate in the rear and the height of the spring up front.

im not a big fan of nicos bagged celica. I like his 03 black one better

I guess thats a good point about the job. And I love the celli. I just **** that its fwd and virtually pointless to mod

because I want to sell the celica? would you suggest i wait until the week i sell it to get opinions on aftermarket parts?

[MommysLittleMonster]

Obviously you still don't get it.

Good luck. You're going to need it.

lol what? you"re so short tempered. Theres no need to "quit" or whatever you're doing. If you post a long ass post, its quite likely that I will not understand atleast one thing. Also keep in mind that this thread isn't a build or me trying to impress people or whatever. Its me seeking guidence from the elders of the game.

oh and just a quick sidenote: the guy doing the LS1 drift build is using a ksport setup. Even though I have the street and he has the track, its still ksport. Still high quality

The fuck is a spyder auto.

[Celli]

they specialize in projector headlights. But they have plenty of other products.

[fivefourzero]

it doesnt matter if they actually are actually cheap and/or come from ebay, if you cant see how LED/projector/crystal lights are a shitty thing to put on a car that should have halogens then keep the celica and save the bmw for someone else...

[Celli]

*junk

I like em. Im keeping em.

chill. I like my halo/projector. and my lights ARE halogen. They just have a ccfl halo surrounding them.

[fivefourzero]

im pretty chill mannnn, you just don't get it though

[MommysLittleMonster]

You have got to be either the biggest troll on Stance|Works, or so oblivious it hurts.


You say this:

Here's the big thing, I don't want the celica anymore. The car is honestly a waste of time and isn't really worth the time/money/effort.

First, It's not what the "internet wants me to build", I thoroughly enjoy the looks/drive/comfort of the bmw I like. And I'll be selling the xxr's and going stock anyways.

But insist that you want to keep doing things to it:

Thanks for the insight guys. I think I'm still going to do some paint touch up and shave the Wing off. From personal experience, people prefer it without a wing.
So while repainting the trunk, should I put the symbols BACK on? Or leve them off? Or does it matter?

You ask us to point out what's wrong:

You know? If you see any flaws with that, please point them out.

So we do, and you say shit like this, and completely disregard our advice:

I like em. Im keeping em.
chill. I like my halo/projector. and my lights ARE halogen. They just have a ccfl halo surrounding them.

And say you want to do things the right way

You have a good point but Oxer does have you there. I've half assed everything. But I want to change that. Take my time. Do things right. Stop rushing.



That's one of things I've been thinking about. I want to start over. New car. New project. And doing it right this time. I want to take the time to do a project right. No more half ass china shit. Please atleast try to understand I'm trying to improve. As I've seen, you can pick up a shitty dull set of BBS rims for 700. But with a little TLC, they can look brand new.


Also, I'd like to start on a car actually worth modding.

And then you say this:

first, how are the headlights ebay junk? they are spyder auto. Im pretty sure they are a reputable company.

I don't even

Lmao, halos. What is this, 2001?
