the LED signals sounds like it would turn out great, and something i was thinking of doing myself...
make the car as visually pleasing as possible, cause its pretty much a turd speed-wise lol (i have an auto ST as a daily...) good luck and have fun -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.

Luckily there were no injuries at all. im happy as hell i did not get projectors yet. they are delayed 1 week. whooo
the thing about this accident was that she missed hitting the fron reinforcement bar by 2 inches. she hit a 03 suzuki xl-7 at the rear passenger side of the rear bumper. all the lady got were scuffs on her bumper. i was like what the heck man...when my wife showed me pics of the ladies car then our celica...i was like hell NO....this is not right. ... BUT luckily like i mentioned earlier there were NO injuries and sadly i gota pay for the repair of our celica...which is going to start today...  i will be updating this thread as the repairs progress... thank you all for comments and support. QUOTE (mkernz22 @ Oct 28, 2010 - 11:18 AM) Did your radiator support bar get mangled like mine did? I hope your wife is ok though the driver side of the support was pushed in about 1 3/4 inch. not too much . the wife is good. a little spooked but shes doing good today. im taking the Celi to shop today to get repairs started. -------------------- ***Z-TOON Dezignz***

In the summer, I hit an 18 wheeler. Just the tire though, nothing horrible. Nothing happened to the truck (I'm so glad, I didn't want to have to pay) and I was stuck replacing my fender, bumper (which I took the liberty to get a facelift bumper), RH low beam, RH turn and side marker, and I bent my wheel and the strut. All in all, About $950
 But I love my Celica so it's worth it all!!

thats not a bad amount for those repairs. I know i may be having to pay around that price for my fix. I already have my contacts to where im getting my parts from and it only cost me 150 for hood, front bumper, and driver fender. i know i still need driver high and low beam lol...but overall its like you said Hector...in the end its worth it..
