Celica Forums General Discussion General Promoting E-Celica...

Well, Celicacutie...I would wager that about 95% of the people on this site have the clear sidemarkers and I was using the "orange" sidemarkers as a usual dead giveaway of a stock celica. I doubt very much that there are very many people here that have "tons of cash" as you put it ...and somehow they still manage to get the cheap $30 sidemarkers. To qualify these sidemarkers as expensive or a "heavy mod" is simply ridiculous . I can't imagine how popular this site would be if everyone on it just had completely stock cars...that isn't the point of this site. If you like your stock sides that don't match or compliment anything else on your car...that is your prerogative. As for feeling "dissed" for having orange sidemarkers and somehow having an "alternate plan"...I would love to hear what that plan might be if clear corners is a heavy mod . Peace maim.

Well, Ferris, apparently you know something I wasn't aware of. I thought the point of this site was to celebrate and congregate about everything Celica. That would mean those who prefer stock, be it for reasons of lack of cash or just personal taste, or for the full bore customizer, be it for reasons of too much cash or personal creativity. My '01 GTS is modded, tastefully, because thats the way I wanted it. And I have more planned. But my first Celica, my first new car, an '87 GTS, was and is bone stock. And still looks best to me that way, and I don't think you could love a car more than I do that one. It's where I developed my enduring appreciation and loyalty for Celicas specifically and Toyota in general. Modding your car doesn't mean jack squat about how much you love or appreciate your car. There are two notable types of people who frequent this site...people who love Celicas period, stock, modded, driving, racing, etc., doesn't matter, and people who love modding and customizing their cars and just happen to have a Celica at this time. I happen to fall into category 1, but to me this site is for both sets of people and anyone else who wants to drop by (respectfully). And they are welcome in my eyes. To me, Isaac has always gone out of his way to make this site just that way. Thats why I come here almost every day, for well over a year now, and not to other sites I used to frequent. You know, I guess thats what fired me up about your post...you just weren't very respectful to the lady. That isn't normal here. xmangt1 exhibits the typical aficionado here by going out of his way to offer to help. I started out this response intending to be very sarcastic and condescending, basically in the same vein as your post. But that wouldn't be very respectful to you, now would it, so I'm restraining myself. So here it is in a nutshell...I strongly believe you are misled in your belief. The "point" of this site encompasses celicacutie just as much as it does you or me. Celica is the point of this site, that's all, and modded isn't better than stock, its just another aspect. End of sermon. See y'all next Sunday.

Hey Isaac I just got your message...PM me if you still want to...I am going to order a lot of decals and just leave them on cars as I see them...I actually met this guy last night @ my work with a really nice Yellow Gt that is modded and he had never heard of us here @ E-Cel and he was really excited that I approached and represented...I invited him to our meet here in San Antonio so I look forward to seeing his car again...
Well it looks like my thread was a success!!!!!!!!

My car is Modded quite a bit and i still have the amber corners.

And i promote the site by having the sticker on my windsheild.

I promote ecelica to everyone even people who don't drive or like celicas this is my favorite website.

Are the decals available for purchase? I did a search for "decal" in the store and nothing came up. I would like to put something on my very well loved, stock car

Man i'm lost on ur whole clear corners comments? I just got clear corners and before that i had many things done to my car?

I agree with celicacutie...this site if for all kinds of celica lovers. Modded or stock or just non celi owners looking for info or to BS

Its all for fun and we all have fun...Thanks Isaac for the kick ass site ...

To each their own. I have orange sidemarkers...YEA!!!!! I never said that sidemarkers were expensive. I just said that I don't have $$$ to modify my car whether it be sidemarkers or new wheels. (sidemarkers was your example) I just feel that your "friends don't let friends drive stock" is ignorant and un-called for. Everyone started off stock (unless they bought a fixed up used car) at sometime, give it a rest.

there isn't anything wrong with having stock/amber clear corners...
i still have mine for an odd reason because I wanted clear corners

but it makes no difference...most people would like to have them clear to match the headlight color, so nothing sticks out like orange corners on a black celica with white color scheme...

Isaac's car looks good with his and mine looks fine with them, but I PREFER clear corners, just like most people do.

Same here. I actually sold my clear corners some time ago.

i bought clear corners and then smoked them everything celica should make some windsheild stickers cause that would be tight

OH I WANT ONE!!! cant go to the meet though...im overseas right now "SERVING MY COUNTRY"...will be back in a couple weeks though...

oh never mind...u'll be sellin them on the site soon...kewl...


HEY ALL MY 50TH POST!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! IM FINALLY A MEMBER!!!!!!!!!!

me too

back from the sooooo dead eh?

I dunno...I would rather have people voluntarily come to this site on their own will. They'd be a lot more likely to truely enjoy and appreciate it
