ok so I have the turquoise factory color, and even though aside from the purple, it was my last choice for a color on my 6gc, the car fit my every requirement besides that, so i bought it.
Now I could just paint it later or what not but to me, It would annoy the absolute piss out of me to see teal in the sunroof, the doors, the engine bay, etc if I did a change color paint job, so if i ever get it painted it will be the same color. Anyone else feel like this? Also with body kits, Not trashing anyone who has one because I havent seen an ugly body kit for the celica yet, they just arent my style.. Personally the stock side skirts are enough for me. Maybe If I come into mucho extra cash the 404a lip. But bodykits just dont do it for me. I dont know, I just think the celi is pretty as it is and a super clean stock 6gc will win me over any day

No, I don't feel like this because I've never taken my car to a bodyshop that does half-a$$ed work. Everything would get painted, except for the engine bay... but there's a way to paint visible portions of the engine bay. As for the bodykit deal, bodykits aren't for everyone. Some people like their car stock, some like adding components. It's just personal preference, and there's nothing wrong with that. |

Well how much did you pay for a paint job that covered everything kuya?
I guess I spoke too soon about that, and I agree with you about the body kit thing. This was in no way a post to target those who like body kits or have them because I do like some of them quite a bit (combat front bumper, 404a front and back lip) |

I agree with u Brian, i dont like body kits, a lip kit is much cleaner and sleek looking.

if you go to a good shop they will paint everything.
my car was teal also before it was painted and they painted everything inside hatch, doors, even the engine bay, for a resonable price. |
