Well it's been a few months now since I've sold the Celica in my profile for my SC300. Funny... when I bought this car, I told myself that I'd keep it stock and wouldn't do anything to it... What can I say? I couldn't resist...
 I just installed a body kit over the weekend and bought the rare "Polished" Twin Turbo Supra Rims. I must say 9.5' wide tires in the rear really makes a huge difference with traction and handling. I just received Tein Super Streets today. I've always fantasized about buying these when I had my Celica, but I think they cost something like $1,300... which is pretty expensive. I bought them for my SC for only $850 before tax and shipping! Here are some pics, and yes I know... it needs to be dropped and painted. Enjoy.   Going to install these bad boys next weekend with the help of Lewfx.   This is how she looked when I first got her.  Body Kit and Rims installed.  Side shot.  Rear shot.

Thanks for the comments.
Yeah Lew, like Drocay was trying to say, these are JDM tails, they just vary by year. 92-93 (Mine)  94-96, which are the ones I like and will be getting soon.  and the newest one, the 97+. I think these look too busy.

^ I'm planning to keep it stock for now... it's already an inline 6 with 225hp stock. It's good enough... for now. =)
I just finished installing the teins, I must say it wasn't that difficult. Just time consuming. Here are some pics. Before:  After:

Man, I love that car. I should have taken that oppertunity to trade my Celica for one. It was that sea foam color though. Keep us all updated on that thing.
