Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior what should i get for my Celica ?

im gettin the celica when i turn 18 and i have no clue what to buy for it i already got graphics but i dunno what 2 get first either a new body kit or clear tailights and a diff. spoiler so just tell me what ya think thanks
~peace

umm take that Graphics off, IMO its , i say get a nice set of rims first and a drop.

If you've got the money for a body kit, then I say start with a Cold Air Intake, new exhaust, and new exhaust headers. That way, when you do make your car look cooler (because c'mon, it's already cool enough) you'll have some power to match the sytling.

I say take the graphics off and get a kit and then wheels or wheels and then kit.

get a short shifter and knob , then some lowering springs and rims , then a kit, then red tyc ligths , then exhuast and other imo and maybe remove the vinyl

how does the vinyl look ?

by the way i want to say thanks for tellin me what you think
later

oas was talking about removing your graphic, you don't need it and it detracts from the car i think; i say go with i/e/h or a kit

Get Intake, Exhaust, Headers, then rims or a body kit.

Hey, I started w/ a cold air Intake, Better exhaust, lowering springs.. Two years down the line I got my BodyKit, and underbody neons. THATS THE WAY TO GO..

k sounds good 2 me ill try sumthin like that and what money i have will allow thanks

im probly just gonna go for looks with my celica i dunno
but first im gonna buy ADR - Demonya (HMC Chrome)black

then probly a new spoiler and clear taillights
Single-deck High Wing - 9-1/2"H Made of top-grade Fiberglass strong, durable and exceptionally lightweight
you think that would fit my celica and what do you think of the spoiler and wheels?

not feeling the ADR - Demonya (HMC Chrome)black but whatever makes you happy, go for it

LOL, yea, those graphics look terrible bro...Please don't get clear tails either, just red them out.

Get some nice gunmetal rims with a polished lip, a nice drop, then go for a kit...Don't forget the tint either

LOL, bro, sorry to say, but you're talking like a ricer

and paint the rear break too bro

yeah...

ricer = you

maybe by the time you get your celica your taste will improve a little...

if you do body kit kaminari...if not do engine i/e/h but no graphics,ugly rims, or that big wing...

thanks for the ideas lol man now i feel really crapy cause i spent like 500 on the graphics lol leave w/e you think about what i should do or shouldnt do ttyl take it easi

500 on the graphics


HAHAHAHAHAHHA... you got RIPPED OFF

Graphics are and i dotn like those rims too much eaiter, but its your car

how much would it b for a body kit and gettin it painted and put on i was thinkin about 1000 $ right ?

Make a checklist of stuff you have and stuff you want. I have a Word doc of stuff I still need. Get cheap stuff first for cosmetics, like clear corners, S2k antenna, painting calipers, change color console lights and aftermarket dashboard gauge displays etc. Definitely need a bodykit. Stay away from drag wings! Performance like Cold Air Induction Intake, exhaust system (full catback, imo), new headers, grounding kit (a must), new rims, front strut bar, sway bars. Get some springs or coil overs and lower it two inches or so.

Those rims are and so are the graphics. Clean look is much better. DOn't want ppl accusing you of being a F&F wannabe.

^^ what Sancho said i'd suggest redding out your stock tail lights or even getting some Red tyc's..



poweredbyrice is selling some brand new ones and is a trusted seller

here's isaac's car from the thread above.. notice the redded out stock tail lamps.. nice polished lip on the rims too


welcome to the boards i've learned a lot from my stay here

thanks for your help yea im probly gonna get Gold-Line Springs - 1.75'' Drop so that would make my car look better after i get the rims so keep postin what you think and thanks for your help

i wouldn't get that big of a drop. go with TRD, Eibach pro kit, or Tanabe NF210

ok

the graphics= and that fact that you payed $500 for them is 10x worse

the rims= never put chrome on your celica

the tailights= once again no chrome

the wing= are you going to be flying anytime soon?

the springs= go with a reliable product name

get my point.

if you want grapichs for the veilside ones...something simple and clean

if you want rims go with gunmetal/black with a polished lip or anything besides chrome, green, red, blue etc etc

if you want tails, red the stock ones out or get tycs(not chrome) red or black

if you want a wing get a TRD/Action Package wing

if you want springs get eibach or tanabe

As for a body kit, if you want a full one get Kam or Veilside. If you want just a lip Wings West or JP. You will be looking at about $800-$1000 for the Kam and Veilside kits alone, of course thats the price for an authentic one, you can find a cheaper Fiberglass replica. The Wings West and JP kits are about $600. Painting these kits will probably run $300-$500

This is all in hope that you will not buy any of that stuff for your car and disgrace the celica name. Your car has potential to be really nice looking, you just have to stay away from all that ricer bullshit

k ill keep all that in mind and try to make my celica better in the futre keep on sendin what ya think or sumthin

all i can say is ..u can buy those graphics for like 160 online.

right

Ok so from what we have learned is that you could have gotten your graphics for way less and that everything on your car and everything that you want to get for your car sucks. But dont let this get you down. We all make mistakes. Just learn from them and the people on this site.

If you have the money, I would ditch the rims for some new ones and a small drop. That way no one can tell that you only have a GT...(BTW don't mean to offend anybody with some GT's...by saving money on getting the GT yours is probably modded to spank my GTS ) But do that and then cat-back exhaust...and then a lip kit...the wings west and JP both look nice...and only lower the body 1-2" so you don't sacrifice drivability if your roads are less than perfect. Red-out tails would probably look killer and you can do it for ~$5 if you use the candy apple paint technique. That's just my opinion...more geared for show than go...but the beauty of it is...whatever you decide to do represents you and who you are...so if anyone doesnt like it but YOU DO...then f* em

The very first thing you should do is take those graphics off. If im not mistaken you could just take a hair dryer and heat that up and it should peel off. wheels are a must. And i don't see a problem with chrome, just not feeling the ones you chose but its your car. After that get some lowering springs. Not goldline. TRD, Eibach, Tanabe or Tein springs are good. But you need an S2000 antenna buddy. $15-20 at any Honda Dealer. As for a spoiler, whats wrong with the stock? I like the stock spoiler or the TRD. That big wing you want will just get you laughed at and you don't want that. Clear tail lights are just gay. just red them out. Takes like 1 hour and only cost $10.

i'm not feeling the graphics get nice rims

Im pretty sure he as a GTS so im sure you could easily take him.

thanks ill work on gettin my car started but w/e i do i will like and not everyone will but as long as i like it i would b happy keep leavin what you think or sumthin

my bad i see that he has a GTS now...still ditch the GT rims...i love gunmetals with polished lips

yea its gts i like it but i hate those stock rims what do you think of the adr rims ?

I don't like those ADR rims at all...sorry...i saw them on a celica and they just didn't fit...the celica looks fast...and should have sporty rims to fit the personality...to me those are a little too umm...shall we say urban?..for the celica anyway. If you want ADR i would go with the cyphers or the visions...or something similar...both of those i think look sweet in gunmetal or bronze

The RS limited 'Mace' wheels look pretty nice too...but no polished lip

ill keep that in mind what do you think i should get for a spoiler and what do you think about the one i picked out ? ttyl

get the trd spoiler. that looks the best on the celica i think. as for your exhaust, man, that needs to be fixed real quick. not to rag on your car but i could stand on that thing and clean the back window. but you seem to be getting started on the right track. good luck with it.

For a spoiler...well i think TRD pretty much hit the nail on the head. I love the styling; similar to the evo, STi spoiler. The one you posted is pretty close...but not quite. There are pretty many TRD style spoilers on ebay for not a lot of loot...as long as you buy from someone with good feedback. The RMM, kaminari, and WW wings are all very similar...and are the style i think flows best with the celica

Oh and check out my forum with pretty much the same topic as yours. I just got my celica and am trying to decide what to do with mine...so we're in the same boat

Yo B Side where you get that TRD front plate?

how much is a trd spoiler cause the one i saw was only 200 and looked just like it and im tryin to get as much as i can so what do you think and what type of exaust i was thinkin greddy tell me what you think?

you can get them from teamcelica.com

^^^ Yeah! Yeah!
