https://celicahobby.com/ubbthreads/thread.f_1869867144_0_collapsed_5__1.html


It was hot as hell today in So Cal, but it was a nice sunny day. Isaac and I managed to snap a few shots of the cars.

Those are SWEET

Here are Sam's headlight inserts:

AWSOME!

damn tony those look nice tater did a good job

very awesome...

I think they would have looked good black too...

but i love the celica's normal headlights the best..

Looks amazing!

how much did the inserts cost

Tater's price is $275 pluse shipping. Paint is $80

how do you install them and i thought those were illegal

i am working on the install guide now. No, it is not illegal? Who told you it was illegal?

i thought that i read somewhere on here that those were illegal, but i might be wrong

DAMN...that looks sexy on a silver Celica! I guess I know what I'm doing with part of my bonus this year...

PM Tater here: https://celicahobby.com/ubbthrea...part=1&vc=1

NICE TONY! i thought you said you were going for black?

In the other thread he said he was thinking about it but decided to go with silver. I think it looks good [in silver], but I would've gone black, too.

Those look awesome man, nice job!

Yup. Someone in a new Honda Civic Si already complimented on the new headlights when we were stopped at the light. And another Celica owner "chased" me down at a supermarket parking lot to take some pics.

The headlight insert really makes the car stand out. Also, the new inserts tend to "direct" the light outputs. For example, with the DRL on, the lights shines through the two circular holes instead of going everywhere as with the stock ones. They are like two glowing oranage "eyes". Very evil looking. Then, you turn on the parking lights only, and they become blue eyes. The lowbeam didn't changed. My HIDs shines through perfectly.



Christian - I was going to go with black at first. But, I didn't know how it would look. And I didn't want to do the install over and over again. So, I played it safe and went with silver. I am very happy with the way they turned out.

that looks tight man...

Still can not decide if i like it or not

Looks like a totaly different car.. Congrats...

Man I wish I lived in So-cal... It is cold and dark here... I could have some fun out there... Plus I would love to hang with all you guys...

That's OK, Roman. Like every appearance mod, some will like it, and some won't. It is not going to be everyone's cup of tea. Personally, I like it a lot, or else I wouldn't have it on. Teehhee...

Those are realy very nice!!

One more

it looks different than the one in Taters sig...

I'd never do that to my car, but then again, I don't have any appearance mods so it would look extremely weird.

Congrats Tony

Thats not the same one thats in Taters sig thats why

The ones in taters sig is a whole headlight assembly...the one that tony has is just an insert inside the headlight

Werd.

Yup. The one that Tater has cost $2000. He said that there would be no way to produce those in the US and be profitable. But, if you're willing shell out the $$$, he will make you one. I will stick with my new inserts.

Tony,

Those look awesome. So glad you chose to paint them silver instead of black. Does the paint match your car though. It looks like the silver on the inserts are a little bit darker then your car, but that could just be the light. Wow, i am so going to have to buy these now!!!!

I think the headlight housings also distort the true color of the inserts.

Jamey - the paint matches perfectly as you can see in this pic. The shop did an excellent job with the paint.



It does look a little darker because the clear cover has a slight tint to it. Also, the cover reflects the light a bit differently than without. If you're worried about that, than go with black or gunmetal to accent your Silver. But, personally, I like it the way it is. I am glad I went with silver.

Tony, your new sig looks great.

those are sick! btw, what kind of fogs are those?

Thanks. https://celicahobby.com/ubbthreads/thread.f_1869852601_10_collapsed_5__1.html

I wish i knew about these sooner. My car is no longer Silver, and i don't know if the shop started to paint my car yet or not.

I havn't thought of a color scheme but i really want these damn inserts. I wonder how well they can match Skyline purple????

Purple? hum... maybe paint the inserts black?

HEY... TONY... DO YOU KNOW WHO DOES THAT KIND OF JOB IN O.C., CAL?
I DONT FEEL CONFIDENT TO DO IT BY MYSELF... I RATHER PAY FOR "PROFESSIONAL" HELP...
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND TOPICS

Question for Tony..
