That's an awesome price for paint(for both of you
 )! Do you personally know whoever is doing the work? Is that how you're getting a good deal?

i got the paint free, but the guy i'm getting my paint done by is a restoration guy. My car was the only car i saw that wasnt under 1970s. But he does a really good job w/ out the outrageous prices. He does 1200 for a color change, no including removing dents.

It seams that the blue is a popular color for when doing a color change on 6 gen Celicas. The color choice is very good. I like the rims too... why not 18's???
Dont forget to paing the calipers !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats a nice color, I like Celicas in blue.
Just one question....those are nice wheels and all, but they have a 4-lug bolt pattern so how do you plan to fit them?? You might have a little problem there man...

I paid way to much it was like 1300 or 1400 for 4 rims with tires. the spare was extra. I know they fit just use the right lug pattern that fits. DaMnItLeWiS has them too

I dont think they will....it really doesnt look like a 5-spoke hub could bolt to that, usually wheels like that will come in either 5-spoke(10 holes, 5x114.3mm and 5x100mm bolt patterns) or come in 4 spoke (8 holes, 4x100mm all around).
I guess it wouldnt hurt to try for the hell of it, but with 8 bolts like that I really dont think theres anyway it'll work man. Sorry. I'd try putting them up for sale on either a Honda forum, putting an ad up locally or try to sell them to a friend, go to a local dragstrip and try to sell them to somebody....or Ebay.....Just some ideas for ya. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |

Is that overspray on your muffler? If so, laquer thinner(buy it wherever you buy paint thinner) will take that right off without damaging the muffler's finish.

I'm not sure...it may be, but I don't think it's as strong. I had overspray on half of my muffler exactly like yours is now(except mine was yellow ), and the laquer thinner took it right off so easily.
