DUDE!! thats hella tight man!! I love how you can drive into your backyard and just have your car chillen and you can wash your car in the backyard w/ no one to bother! thats sick!!

looks good hector can't wait to see it at the meet

looks awsome bro

nice, did you paint the whole car or something? i havent heard anything of this before sorry

yeah, a lot of bodywork was done..i bought the cars used and it had its little dings here and there..decided to paint the whole thing just to get em out and well, i love how it turned out!

^^^i love how it turned out too!

love the molded kit and the hood-work

one suggestion, red-out your tail lights.

very very nice keep it wingless

finally hector!!! that shit is bad ass!!! i like the 2 color scheme

looks nice man!

looks awsome

im curious as to how they molded that urethane kit to your car? correct me if im wrong, but i was told not to do that by a shop owner because the mold will crack etc...

Nice ...Red Outs are needed man..also wats up with your 2 little exhaust thingys????

sweet car bro, i like it

they molded it with fiberglass resin. and as far as i know the only parts that will crack when molded are your front bumper and rear bumper. and even then, only if you hit something with them. i dont think i will be having any problems with my kit...everything should hold up fine unless, like i said i hit something..which would be something anyone w/ a molded kit ..fiberglass or urethane..should be willing to accept. either way thanks for the heads up..ill keep my fingers crossed

yeah..i know..red outs are definitly on my list...question is whether i should smoke em along w/ my headlights or not. and about that exauhst...duals bro..ive tried at all cost to minimize any "rice" and i know a lot of people disagree w/ my duals but i like the "look" of them.

update your Ecelica Profile now!!! hahaha!

^^ha ha..will do bro!

it's beautiful!!!

^^^but keep one picture as a reminder of how far your celica has been.

the dual exhausts are cool, at least they arent as big as fart-cans

hmm i wonder if any of these pics are worthy of making me an
actual sig now

Looks bad ass!!! Mad props, I like the whole 2 color scheme too, fo sho do something with your tailights. I like dual exhaust but in my opinion if the tips were say the size of those of trd exhaust would look sick. Just my 2 cents. Looks great though congrats.

ur car is sic
especially that molded look.

^^ha ha..thanks..i know youve heard this before, but your cars pretty
sexy also.

Looks good, Hector.

i know what you mean about the trd tips..thats an real good idea..and most definitly something i will do in the near future!

beautiful

looks good

Looks tight!!!
Wingless...wingless...wingless!!!

man it turned out better then i coudl have imaginied. and i want that dual setup in th back. not many celicas have it and i love the 2 pipe look. keep up great work

ditto.

nice

((shouts)) tint the windows!!!

looks nice, Hector...very clean

very nice, im thinking of molding the WW kit also...

Well i like the exhaust set up , just thought they would look better just a tad bigger, sorta like a TRD tip or so like XPunkJoeX said

Looks awesome Hector, good job.

thanks john, i appreciate the positive feedback, comments and suggestions everyone, keep them coming

ha ha..thats also on my to do list...soooo many things to do

Looks like a Ferrari, very tight!

ORGASM

Hector,

Hit my friend Robert (owner) up at Audio Vision Montclair. He does better tint than anyone I've ever seen. And he is cheaper than anyone in town. If I tell him you are one of my buddies he'll give you a smokin' deal. When you roll my windows down you can not see any clear glass gaps at the top at all. He also did my windshield. You can't tell in the pics, but mine are that really really light blue (like Mercedes has) so it's hard to tell the windshield is done. I'm off the week between Christmas and New Years I can go there with you if you like...???

Can I get on this deal ^^^ ?

Sure, anytime!

looks badass, leave the spoiler off:)

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
