Celica Forums General Discussion Videos, Pictures, and Audio Clips Did a little photo shoot... 56K beware!

Hey guys & gals, took the car to the body shop this morning to have my kit installed (VS1... but not before a little photo shoot of the celi before the transformation! The car's a little dirty (it's waaaaaay too cold to wash the car!!!)
Some of the pics are a little dark buy you'll get the point!

LED tail lights..

and the interior... I took out the back seats and did a little 2 seater conversion!

..

...

And finally...

Any comments are welcome... I'll be posting more pics once the kit is installed!

not bad lose the tails

looks clean..yah i agree too..get rid of the tails..get TYCs instead

I just like them cause of the LED... looks really sweet at night, way brighter than regular light bulbs!

Not a fan of the exhaust, or the "2 seater conversion". It just looks like a huge ass boy is sitting over your seats. If you took them out and smoothed out the floor all the way to the hatch, that could look sweet. Nice rims though.

Your car is clean! Cant wait to see the kit installed.

why you gettin your kit on.. its snowy out... wait till summer

i disagree you hsould post pics of the tails on...leds look cool as hell

Haha, dude, you should have waited to get your body kit man. I'm selling mine and I live in Calgary as well...if I remember right, you live in Calgary. Mine is already painted spec blue too...too late now I suppose. Anyhow, can't wait to see your car when it's done!

The "cover" that I have over the back seats are just temporary until I get a system put in the back. And the reason why I'm getting my kit put on now is because the body shop I went to is having a special... so I'm getting everything put on and painted (VS1 kit, TRD wing, raised hood scoop) for $1500 Canadian.

Shox, how much are you selling your kit for? I bought mine @ importfan.com for $400 can... If you were gonna sell it for less than that then don't tell me cause I'll kick myself!!!

he's one of the few celi's that have LED tails.. and of course custom made

get more shots of the rear speed_celica

I'll want to try to do another retrofit to a different pair of tails. instead of doing it on the stock ones

Well mine's already painted and fitted so all it needs is an install. Selling the rear and sides for $300. It's VS1 replica side and rear too, the one's you bought I presume. The paint is cracking a tad bit on the edges though, I'm sure so will your's since you'll be driving your Celica in winter conditions. Anyhow, if you're still interested, gimme a PM. I won't be selling them for another couple or few months though cause I'm saving up to get my new body kit painted and along with the entire car. Lemme know, it's never too late to resell your body kit since you're not painting them yet, just installing them...I'll even help ya install these if you decide to buy from me.

Curious, how much did the install run ya? And where?

Well, acutally the kit and everything will be painted and installed this week. I'm not driving the car over the winter (I have a Rav4, you can see it in one of the pics). I went to Impressions to have everything done, they told me they won't be doing the painting, (their bodyshop will be doing that) just fitting and installing of the kit and everything else. They quoted me $1400 for everything... maybe an extra couple hundred or so if fitting the kit takes more work than they think!

nice car

dude, how can you survive with your summer tires still on!!?!?!?? I'd be dead if I still had mine on, and there's no hills here!!

My bro used to live in Tuscany, and the factory tires couldn't make it to Stoney trail after it snowed...

Well, like I said earlier, the car's been parked for the winter, I drive the Rav4 right now. I just took the car out to the body shop that day, and I drove REALLY slow!!! Don't think I got to use anything higher than 2nd gear!

I got the same rims. They look good on a blue celica.

Wow...you got ripped off...I think...o well, good luck with the kit

nice..bet its lighter now without the rear seats

The only thing more noticable is the throttle response... slows down more when you let off the gas and accelerates a little faster when you step on it!

Nice ride cant wait to see wat it look like with the kit on.

i have 18s and hotchkis springs, is this about how mine will sit, or has this not settled yet, cause it doesnt seem as low as i want, i think the gunmetal looks better on your blue than my silver too!! I think i may have messed up

It is lower than stock, but what you don't realize about my car is that I've taken everything out of the back of the car(Spare tire, carpets, jacks, plastics, even the back seats) So there's a lost less weight pushing down on the rear of the car. I'm pretty happy with the height tho, since I'm putting a VS kit on, any lower than I'll scrap for sure. Those pics don't do it justice tho, once the shop is done putting on the kit I'll take more pics,

haters...the tails look great with or without the LED conversion

Thanks!

nice car dude post some pictures when the kit is on

what are talking about buddy gunmetal looks amazing with silver lol when are you gonna get everything installed?

damn everytime i see those over lays on the head lights more and more, it makes me want to buy them... They look so clean!

Bat just came out with some new ones in color... light blue, yellow and a lighter smoke!

can you say FART can, but otherwise it looks really sharp, nice!

fart can? that happens to be a tanabe exhaust, what kind of car do you drive by the way, because your profiles doesnt say anything, you must have left that part out accidently.

Buddy, fart can or not, that's one of the exhaust systems that make the most power gain for the celica! If you do a search you'll find that a bunch of us here have this "fart can" exhaust! You don't just get an exhaust system for the way it looks!
