Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Test fitting the parts! Not for modem users?

Did a test fitment of all the parts tonight. It was pitch black outside, so the only shots I could get was from inside the garage. Here they are...

How far the front tyres stick out



Rear tyres...



Both tyres



Wingless...



Rod millen lip



Wing!



More wing!



Last one..



YES, I KNOW THE CAR IS DIRTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)))))

Anyways - I was mad pleased about how it looks. And, yes, it will have an exhaust, lowering springs etc. This was just a quick test to see how one side of the car would look.

Looks great, a drop will look 10 times better with it, cant wait to see pics with that.

That is one mother-fuckin messy-ass garage


as for the car

Good luck opening the trunk with that wing

^^^


i didnt even notice that..thats the funniest thing ive seen all day.

btw...those rims looks bad ass!! do your tires rubb the walls at all?

The wing will be shortened about 3-4cm, and brackets made to hook it up to the trunk lid. I wasn't planning on mounting it solid to the car

Here's a shot I took this summer, of the car with the lowering springs mounted. Will try to use the same ones, but I fear the car will be too low...

Messy? Where? :-))))) Only shows that WORK is beeing done there ;-)

love the electrical tape to attatch the wing. i'm not diggin the wide tires, though, but hey, it's your ride.

The fenders will be widened to cover the tyres.

A seibon Carbon Fiber invader hood will also be mounted.

And, ofcourse, I will not glue anything on - I will drive around with electrical tape. Or...maybe not.

well, i figured as much that you wouldn't leave the tape. it just hit me, though, that you'd go widebody.

thats what i was thinkin

One more picture (last one)

what offset are the new rims?

nice, very nice!

you've planned for everything, i assume

love the wing, looks like the Type-S wing for the RSX and also a unibodied TRD Wing.

keep us updated

Damn How wide are those rims?

what size rims do you have and what is the offset? just curious

They're not new. It's still the same old 8,5x19" ET30. But with 2,5cm (about 1") wide spacers I can't afford new rims right now, so spacer's are the only way I can get the look I want.

But new wheels will come, as soon as I can afford it.

you got some big gaps on the front lip...

looks like fun..cant wait to see the finished car

just curious why is the antenna on the middle of the top of the windshield? im assuming thats how they make it in norway?

^J-spec is like that too...

We taped everything onto the car and mounted the tyres with spacers to see what needs to be done. The actual work on the car will start around febuary. Everything you see in the pictures is just taped loosely on.

The middle section of the rod millen front lip sticks too far into the bumper, so it hits the oem grill/mesh in the "mouth" of the bumper. It's very easy to fix. US spec bumpers doesn't have this grill I think, so RMM hasn't paid any attention to it when designing the lip.

As for the vizage sides + rear, they fit like OEM parts!! I'm very impressed by them!

Correct. European celica's have the antenna there. A lot of what is refered to as "jap spec" on the celica, is exactly the same in europe.

looks nice i also have my antenne there i think it doesn't matter that much were it's located

The antenna will be shaved off, so it really doesn't matter ;-)

What matters is that I would KILL to get hold of some fender flares that fits the celica! Would save A LOT of work!!

i wish my antenna was on the roof.

Send me some flares that fit, and I'll send you the antenna and all the wiring you need! ;-)

thats not a fair trade. good try

I thought it sounded pretty sweet ;-)

I think it looks sweet man!! very nice and classy.

Sorry, couldn't help it. And yes, i did read your response. Nice ass ride, looks tight.

The exhausts came today (yes, 2 of them...I just didn't bother to unpack the 2nd one...). Here's one of them, lying next to my old exhaust...
