Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Hey Guys

Hey guys need some opinions here.What is the best performance mod i can make for only a couple hundred dollars?And also the best appearence mod i can make for a couple hundred?..thanks guys

exhaust or intake for a couple hundred...
at least a front bumper or any part of a body kit for a couple hundred, trd hood spoilers, an aftermarket rear spoiler, uhhh really really really cheap wheels.

sorry maybe i should have listed my mods already..i have 18 inch wheels,a kazuma exhaust(loud i know) and tyc taillights.but other than that it is stock

get a cold air intake for performance, and a front lip for looks.

ok i really like the blitz kit..but wouldnt just the front look kind of dumb considering nothing else body kit wise on the car?..or would it look alright

I don't really like the look with just front bumper. For looks, go with maybe a hoodscoop and hood spoilers (you could get different colors if you have a color scheme), or a spoiler (whatever your preference is on the looks). For performance, your best gain would be from probably headers (price depends on GT or GTS for a good header). An intake would be cheaper, but not as much gains.

Intake and a set of springs.

Agree.

ya don't get just a front bumber... ull look like all the civic owners that like to thro on there unpainted front kit and then take off there hub caps... at least thats what they do here. i would agree that the intake would be the best performance mod to do, and for looks id say not springs because 1-2" doesn't really do much and if ur planning on getting a kit eventually, i think ud like to know how low the kit gets you from the ground first, so id say get a wing, if you like aluminum spoilers

ok guys thanks but maybe this might sound stupid..but throwing a header on a celica with a kazuma exhaust?..little much maybe?

headers, intake, springs, spoiler, or hood spoilers and I would say that's it. Don't get only one piece of a body kit and put it on, that's just not right.

wouldnt a header added to a kazuma exhaust make it even louder?

i guess i would have to say it would a little bit but not that much. by putting on the header ur increasing ur air flow thru ur pipes, so more air is going to have to travel out ur exhaust... but i guess ur prolly only going to notice a difference at higher rpm's... my 1 cent anyways. plz correct if wrong.

It will make it louder, but I don't think that it will be real dramatic. Go for it, it will sound tight. By the way, are you driving a GT or GTS?

I have a blitz front end... depends on your car's color. I can pull it off because my car's the carbon blue...the factorty side skirts and mud flaps are black. Looks ok... there's many a speed bump in my neighborhood, though. Only reason why I haven't finished my kit. The frontend is shot to sh"t and back because Georgia roads suck.
Personally, I want headers for my car. Anyone got a hookup? What brands are out there? TRD's are 700 bones. We can do better than that, right?!?! A dude on Ebay has some for 250, but I've never heard of the brand.

For a few hundred - definitely intake and springs. (or even coilovers for about a hundred more, unless you need shocks, too)

mine is a gt.so you think the header added to the kazuma exhaust will make it sound better?i dont think i can go too much louder because then i definitely will get pulled over
