Celica Forums General Discussion Videos, Pictures, and Audio Clips FINALLY PAINTED MY CAR (5 PICS)

Sure, anytime!

looks badass, leave the spoiler off:)

[quote=Johnny_Wolf]Hector,

Hit my friend Robert (owner) up at Audio Vision Montclair.


Just wanted to add I get nothing out of this, just trying to give props to a good friend and a great shop.

ok, lets do this johnny, but after new years..im totally broke w/ everything ive done to my car latley. i just bought 4 tires also. so i figure after the first weekend of january i can afford it. (thats when i get paid) hopefully the offer still stands.

The offer stands anytime.

PM me and I'll give you my digits.

btw..im lovin your car too johnny, if i didnt pick carbon blue i would have gotten a silver celi..sometimes i wish i had..especially when its raining and windy what is that..kam rear and wing w/ blitz sides??what kind of front do you have?

are those hoodpins on the stock hood?

yeah

I have Kam front, rear, and wing (the wing is coming off soon and will be for sale) the sides are Rod Millen, scoop is C-1.

love the car bro, i got the same problem about not knowing to smoke the headlights and tails too. if you do it first, make sure to post pics of that, so i can bite off you, ha ha... still diggin the hood, i love the way you took it down to the grill, real nice.

who ever mentioned urethane?
Its fiberglass, I believe he has the VIS Racing TRD knockoff-correct me if I am wrong.

im pretty sure thats a Wings West kit considering i have it hence i know what it looks like. and the fact that in his profile it says...wings west...

really? you might want to ask Isaac's opinion on that. He and I have both seen his kit in person.

u should get an s2k antenna too, the silver one you got, doesnt match

Love it. tint it & keep it wingless!

whoah, whoah, whoah...ok well i never thought anyone would really even care since its only a lip kit, but ill settle this right now. i have no reason to keep anything from anyone. i appreciate everyones props as well as critisizms. I bought the kit off of a friend who use to have a celica and had to sell his for a family car. at the time i was looking for the wings west kit because i didnt want something too flashy, just nice and sleek. i needed a new front bumper at the time along with the kit since i had let my friend drive my car one day on the way back from a pary and had a fender bender w/ another car. when my friend showed me the kit he had in his garage i saw it came w/ a front bumper sides and rear lips. i liked it so i bought it. i dont know if you can tell in one of my pics of the car the front bumper is a bit higher than a stock bumper would be with the wings west lip kit. personally i love the kit. i think if i would have had any other kit installed i would have cracked it by now. and yes this kit is fiberglass, but urethane or fiberglass i think the molding wouldnt have been a problem. i dont know if its a VIS Racing TRD knockoff, or a wings west knockoff, but in the end i think it turned out fine. fitment is pretty good, i dont know if you guys see anything horribly wrong with fitment. even before the molding the sides and rear fit perfectly. i just wanted to be different and have my kit molded. when i made my profile back when i first became an e-celica member i didnt know the difference between a real or fake wings west..didnt know the diff between fiberglass or urethane, so i left it like that. if it really bothers anyone ill update that part of my pro. but i dont see why anyone would really care. later on i plan on getting a kam front but for now i am totally happy w/ my current kit!

^^^i agree, do you really think its worth having Hector change his profile. maybe its the TRD Elegante lip.

wait...so its a WW knock off? im so confused...

well since it wasnt changed...i assumed that his kit was urethane since WW is a urethane kit and molding urethane is a beyotch i was told and i wanted to figure out he did it. so i guess it would be worth having hector changing it and it would have saved me and him a bunch of time.

looks good

Just got mine repainted 2 months ago and now I have to drive it in the snow The damn trans went on my winter car. So till I get it fixed im out drive'n in the snow

Hector, no need for a 3 paragraph essay on your life story dude. I was just telling the other member that he was mistaken. And yes it is a TRD/WW knockoff made by vis.

If you look at the e-celica gallery, you will see pics and VIS is the only manufacturer that makes a-lip pre molded to the bumper. That is how Isaac noticed it in person.


told you that you were incorrect. but no harsh feelings intended.

^^haha...reminds me of my brother and i as kids..."told ya!"

good to know though..now i know what who made my kit! thanks!

To tell you the truth, I like it. I have a seibon carbon fiber ww style front lip right now and I am very scared to put it on . My car is 2" off the ground so it would just rip off with out an immense amount of work.

So I thought of getting a bumper like yours(since it is all one piece) and getting it made out fo carbon fiber. It would cost about $450 but I am investing it in other areas right now.

And you pretty much have your exterior on check right now. Just get a smaller antenna and change the exhaust tips and you r good to go until you get hungry for more.

oooo, me likey

looks hella tight
