Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior next years mod plans?

what's everyone planning for next year...and what all did you get done this year...and try to keep it simple...

I've only had my celi a little over a year, and I ended up with new internals, a new hood, cai, exhaust, custom vinyl, and a few things on the interior...next year I've got a new clutch and flywheel coming, new shocks/struts and springs, tint...and a few other goodies...I'm also gonna get engaged, and will probably be moving...so that kinda limits the mods for now...I'd really like to get a kit, but oh well...anyone else have plans as to what they are looking at for the next year...

this year... that i remember off the top:

exhaust
springs
Carbon Fiber hood
carbon fiber dash kit
a pillar gauges
short shifter
few scratches


next year:

tentative -

swap to coilovers
seibon carbon fiber lip
repaint front and rear bumpers
ww/trd sides and rear

Then Im done except for little things here and there maybe.

This year:

- Bought the car (well, it was real late december '03 )
- Tinted windows were already on the car (yaaay!)

What I bought/did:

- bought 8,5x19" rims with 235/35 falken tyres

- Lowered the car about 2.7 inches rear and 2.3 up front

- Had a custom exhaust made with a 4" pipe sticking out from each side

- Bought a APR GT200 wing, octane front bumper, buddy club I sides, and bomex rear. Returned everything when the octane front didn't fit AT ALL, and the store I bought from didn't get their finger out of their ass to fix it.

- Spent some months cursing the shop I bought the parts from.

- Got fed up, almost sold the car.

- Got motivated again.

- Bought a seibon invader style Carbon Fiber hood, rod millen front lip, complete vizage kit, us spec rear oem bumper, a wing that is made for an audi that's going to be modified to fit the celica, blitz lm intake, blue hose techniques kit, 1 inch spacers, 2x 4,5" exhausts. Got everything just lying around. (except for the exhausts, which are on their way).

- Between now and 1st of may 2005 everything is going to get mounted (except the vizage front lip), will shave off the antenna and rear wiper, and modify the oem fenders to look like the F1 style fenders. What's not decided 100% yet is if I'm going to widen the fenders aswell. And the car is going to get a fresh new 2 tone paint job. And my rims will be painted the same as they are in my avatar.

- And then I'm going to enjoy the summer

2004:
-Viper alarm
-Stainless Steel rear inserts
-30% tint (cops are strict about it)
-Polarg hyper white bulbs for license plate lights and DRLs

2005:
-17/18" Konig Verdict (or) Blatant rims
-blue LED conversion in gauges, radio, A/C, etc.
-HID conversion
-GTS sport pedals
-blue footwell neons
-HOPEFULLY an iPod integration if anyone can provide a tutorial
-subs
-blue underbody neons (?)
