Celica Forums General Discussion General 4K dollars

my bro crashed my car onto the side walk
all interior dmg is fixed the insurance company gave me 4k to fix the body
its a 2000gt red
im 100% sure im going to repaint "should i keep it red"
i know this question is answered ahundread times but
how much is it for a paint & scratch job?

4k? get a body kit and rims.

Take the 4K, put it on the hood of your Celi & trade it for a 350Z.

no no no bad idea! 350z new rsx yeah.

hahah 350z owns a RSX get over it!

yeah they do

But 350z =
Fix the Celica or get a used RSX.

everyone has their own biased opinion

350z's have a great looking exterior...but they went way generic on the interior...

im sticking with the celica
do you think 4 k is enough for a paint job and rims?

4K is enough for paint job and rims. Try to see what kind of paint you can afford. Get that glossy candy apple red, that is super nice.

should i get a body kit? do you know any good ones that doesnt look like a piece of cheap plastic. should i just stick with red?

kaminari body kit is super nice

try to keep the car clean as possible. go kaminari or get a lip kit like vizage. After that get paint if you want custom paint, then save some more for rims.

wow i was checkin around for a paint job and there like it starts from 6500$
and they dont do custom paint.
does anyone here live in OR?

thats way too much for a paint job... stick w/ red & the kan kit looks really good

6500?! ive never heard of a paint job that pricey unless your flying somebody in to do custom spray graphics or some shit like that. if i were you, i would browse around a bit and pick out your favorite body kit, once you get it and have it installed, then get a paint job, and use whatever is left over + maybe a little out of pocket and get some nice rims to accent it.

or you could do the awesome thing, and get it painted and buy someones stock stuff and pocket the rest.

Find a good TRD kit (if you didn't already have one to begin with). I think that's a great kit and I will definitely get one if I do get a Celica.

By the way, are the ones on eBay [cgi.ebay.com] for real or are they knock-offs? They're about $500 after cost,insurance,&shipping (doesn't include the spoiler, but I think the kit looks pretty sleek w/ the stock spoiler).

i dont like boday kits because they look they like plastic. when the guy told me athe paint job price starts at 6500 i was like what a scam! i guess i just have to look around some more.
