okay you asked for it, the finished product of my car Options

[celicagurl152003]

it took three weeks for the full paint job and i really like the outcome i hope you all like the pics

[lagos]

well, good job on painting your own car. anyone that can do that gets props from me....but the choice of colors and graphix just aint my thing.

[JoeyIsFunny]

Yeah, thats good for a do it yourself job. I like the line on the sides.. its all like late 80's early 90's sports car-ish...haha--

But I think the front and rear bumpers could use some highlights.. like some red details or something. Or make them red with black details... I dunno, not a fan of the whole different color bumpers/sideskirts thing. The black roof looks good though with the red body!

[dstrbcelica]

def. not my style. now you need to lower it.

-dstrb

[SlowCelica94]

Not my thing either. But it's nice to see people being original. Might wanna get some wiper blades too.

[Terzin1]

i dunno man...

[juBz86]

at least the rims compliment the car

[Hanyo]

if the rims had a red lip then it would totally go with the car.

SO shinny!

[OrbitalGT95]

awsome job, the car looks wonderfull..now get it in some shows and come to the pitt meet on may 7th

[Consynx]

Props for the DIY

[vangSTa_celica]

Good job on the work.

[celicagurl152003]

well thanks to you all for the comliments and opinions and also ya gotta give me some credit on the windshield wiper deal i have to get it inspencted tomarrow so i took the old ones off and had to put new ones on. And yeah i wanted to use the blitz in a different way then others, for a show car you have to be unique so i tried to make it as unique as i could. i still have to wet sand he car and buff it to make the clear smooth but it sure will look nice come the 30th, my first show. And to those who asked about showing my car im already there, it is a show car but at the same time my daily driver......and i hope to make it to the pitt meet.

[2003cbgts]

damn.. looks great:) specially if u painted the whole thing yourself..

[Mr2_Joel]

it looks good overall. after that wet sand and waxing, it'll really shine. I'm not really feeling the hood painting you did, but other than that it's cool. New Oxford isn't really far from me, looked at an rx7 at a car dealership one time up there. But awesome on the DIY. Like I said it flows pretty well other than the dragon IMO.

EDIT: I really like the 2 tone w/ the roof, that's JDM yo. You wanna paint my car??

[Puchi]

I give it an 8/10. Good job!

[dustin15brown]

Needs to be lowered, but props on the work, and each to their own, it only matters if u like it

[Akimbo]

You know, I do like it actually. I don't like the wing but other than it's pretty slick. Needs lowered obviously, I really like the two tone part of the hatch on back, that looks great. Nice job really.

[ghostdog]

not bad

but personally I would not have painted the whole front in black. just the part that sticks out and slopes up toward the wheel well. then I would have added some carbon canards along it. also would of nixed the dragon, front grill, wing, and stripe across the side. finally some bigger rims, and coilovers/bags

but really, a pretty decent job. definetly not my style but I know you put a lot of work in it, so props to you

also any pictures from the rear? wondering whats doing back there

[jgreening]

Very original. Although its not my style, I think it looks very good. If the skirts and bumper were red, I think it would be amazing.

[soltrain]

i like the last pic the best - good work!

[dustin15brown]

Where are the pics with you in it? And WHY is there a guy in it instead of you??

[Mike]

i agree with everyone else here
nice custom work
not my personal taste, but if you like it than that's all that matters

[Batman722]

I think it looks great. Nice job. When I saw the first teaser pics you posted I wasn't really feelin it. I think it looks great all together. I do agree with gh0st_d0g about the front bumper being red/black instead of all black though.

looks great, nice job.

[IfOnlyIHadAMoney...]

Wow.. absolutely amazing job. I think I'm falling for your car.

[eclipse_04a]

i like it. better than i could paint my car myself.

[popstar]

Well i think it's total sorted

you've done what you wanted and not bowed to any pier pressure, good on you girl

[Manta5x]

nice, thats wonderful

[celicagurl152003]

well thank you and to explain the dude in the backround of my car the one guy is gweedo, he is the friend that let me use his garage to paint my car....and the other guy in the other shot is my pop he helped with the sanding and sh*t. anyhow don't worry i have to get pics with my car but i can't yet cause my car inspected before i can take it somewhere nice to get pics with it and plus i was taking the pics of my car, a little hard to be in two places at once. I'll put pics with me and my celi as soon as i get them

[StreetRacing10PS...]

love it, great work

[shin]

nicely done. good job. i like it and how you custom the grill for the blitz bumper. looks great.

[LusciousLeftFoot]

really nice car.. get rid of the orange blinkers, nice paint job scheme, are your windows tinted?? nice though

[celicagurl152003]

[right][snapback]278573[/snapback][/right]

Yes my windows are tinited they are a 25% tint on the rear and on the little side windows....i am getting my regular windows done the same and then having a sun strip put on this is going to be done within the week. I also have to lower my car again, right now it is a factory height beacuse of me painting it but now that the paint is done i can lower it.

[dustin15brown]

hold your horses im getting there...you guys keep buggin and i might just have to make ya wait longer..... he he he

[CelicaSTX02]

Good job......the dragon doesn't match with anything though, its kinda random actually. Very good work, definately not my style at all, but I am glad you're being original =]

[LusciousLeftFoot]

actually, if your gonna make a dragon , i think it should be bigger , more like a tribal dragon and incorporate both colors or just all black, like they said the color one doesnt match..

[BBoYRuGGeD]

i like it

bboy

[HaRv3sTeR]

IMO, it's very ugly

sorry

[celicagurl152003]

IMO, it's very ugly

sorry
[right][snapback]279556[/snapback][/right]

well.....im not gonna be rude that's your opinion, but im sorry to say i think my opinion out rules your he he he.....but it's always nice to hear some critizism every now and then, anyhow gotta question for ya, what exactly don't you like about it? just figured it would help me out in the long run to know. thanks,
~christina

[chucho]

the hood dragon is completely out of place

[celicaboy04]

the hood dragon is completely out of place
[right][snapback]279784[/snapback][/right]

Agreed.

I give you MAD props for doing your car yourself. I am doing my own too, I have spent nearly TWO MONTHS sanding and working on everything and I am almost there.

The hood dragon would look a lot better IMO if it were black. The green and mix of colors on the dragon doesnt blend well with the black and red of the car.

AGAIN THOUGH, MAD PROPS!

[celicagurl152003]

yeah i big time see where you are coming from the only reason i decided to put a dragon on there is because of the celica dragon, that is basically the only thing that blends the car together, granted i thing instead of making the dragon green and such i should have added more black and red to it but the problem i had with that was i couldn't add to much red to the dragon because the backround of the dragon wa red and couldn't do too much black cause that would make it more of a shadow not a dragon......but yes i do agree that it does look alittle to out of place...thanks for the opinion though

[Jen]

Wow, honestly.. I like it a lot. At first I was weary.. but.. I love it.

[celicagurl152003]

[celica6gen]

If that was a fish, I'd throw it back

[dustin15brown]

Wow, we got sum haters here.... Why can't everyone give the respect the car deserves? She put in the mad hours, so give the props.... everyone else hasn't put that kinda time in.

[right][snapback]281019[/snapback][/right]

thank you dustin but i have a feeling that no matter what people are gonna put me and my car down, that is why i dont reallycare what other people think. I know that sounds mean but the way i see it is it's my car and i like it and the way it is , so what does it matter if someone else doesn't like it. It's not there car, it's mine and i think my opinion is all that truly matters.....don't get me wrong i like to hear other opinions but that doesn't maean if they don't like something im gonna go change it.

[Supersprynt]

Its not mean, you build your car according to 1 person not the crowd.

[macavely]

Wow the car looks great... love the color combo... great work.. made props..

[DamDirtyApes]

wow this car is amazing, its so different which is a definiate + at shows. It however does need clear sidemarkers and a drop

[ghostdog]

[forkee]

i dunno why but the first thing that came to my mind was......

[playr158]

BACARRDI BAT!!!!!!!!!!!

yummmm lets start drinkin

[Galcobar]

The roof versus body contrast is nice -- but I'll have to agree with the comments on the dragon. It's nice to see a salute to the Celica's heritage, but I find it a little jarring since there's no other green visible.

DIY paint jobs, when they're well done (anybody seen the Finnish Batman car?) always earn my respect.

BTW, what wheels are those? I've had my eye on set that are quite similar.

They are volution racing rims

[Galcobar]

Volution advertises silver, gunmetal and white -- you painted your rims too? Nice job on keeping the rivets silver.

I didn't paint them..... they are gunmetal and chrome, that's the way they came.

[Mr2_Joel]

nice looking car. Looked nice parked at the mcdonalds parking lot

i was gonna come say hi and all but it was 11 and i needed to get back to college to start partying. I was that white mr2 that slide out around 11 right by the exit from mcdonalds. Lot of cops out there that night. Bunch of ppl getting pulled over for sure.

[Cutrara]

whos the guy in the background? he kinda looks like john belushi. thats a good thing
