Well...Its been a little longer than expected to start my celica project but now I finally have the money to get going again...I just purchased a full veilside kit...WRX style hood scoop...NSX style vents to be molded in with the sideskirts and some items I will need to finish my electron blue/3000gt pearl white interior...So I need some info...First of all...I have no experience with body kits and I can use all and any advice or heads up I should know while going through this process...I also really want to do a 98-01 solara coupe taillight coversion...I would like to know some people's opinions on how they think that would look on my hatchback...I plan to paint the exterior Lexus Graphite grey pearl to give it a gunmetal finish...I was thinking of going with some carbon fiber accents but my friend said that it may not go with my car such as the wing insert, taillights and hood....SO PLEASE...give me some feedback...Personal paint preferences on my setup?...Tech tips?...interesting ideas...anything that can help my "project celica"...Thanks Rob

I'd go with the gunmetal color if it were me...it's not too bright which is nice, and I think it looks really good.

As far as the kit, I'd say keep that C-One replica hood carbon fiber and get the carbon fiber insert on the TRD replica wing.

I actually don't think that the Solara tail-lights would look too great(plus that'd be a really hard conversion), but that's just me. I drive by a wrecked Solara every day on the way from my house to town and I think about that tail-light conversion every time, but I just don't think it would work too well with the lines of our cars. Unless you're intent on a tail-light conversion, I'd just buy some JDM '96+ tail-lights with the clear turn signal.

Check out mikedodson's car when you get a chance...he's got a gunmetal-ish color with a carbon fiber hood and I think it looks excellent.
