My car needs paint. My car's trunklid and license plate bezel are rattle-canned so they don't match. My roof, both rear fenders, and both doors are deeply keyed. My spoiler has some notches in them from a prybar. Each door has one tiny door ding. My rear bumper has a scratch. My front bumper has license plate mounting holes even though my plate is mounted below behind a grill post.
And worst of all, my car is attention-whore-bright-ass-pearl yellow. Photos don't do it justice...you can see me coming from a mile away. Everyone loves the color and makes a face like they want to puke when I tell them about my new color that I want to go with. But I'm really wanting to paint my car. I want to add sideskirts and extensions and shave the front license plate mounting holes, sidemarkers, antenna, and then fix the two door dings I have. Then I want to pull the front bumper and fenders and engine, clean the crap outta my engine, and paint my engine bay and car. I want to paint everything an olive-green sort of color, like this: What do you guys think? And do you think someone could photoshop my car with '94-'95 OEM front extensions, OEM Curren rear extensions, and the VIS Z-Max sideskirts(like these), and the color change?

eww...i hate when ppl do that, with the fake cf look. Theres a guy at my school whos too cheap to buy a cf hood for his civic hatch so he did a gray primer, gray base coat then layed a peice of screening for a door over it, and did a black topcoat then cleared it. It looks sooo crappy.

It looks sooo crappy. [right][snapback]332356[/snapback][/right] Hey, lean back. That was never meant to be CF look. It is just black paint for contrast with yellow. Anyway, no need to do CF in GT4 as it has aluminium hood - difference in weight is neglectable. BTW - I hate when people put Mugen style exhausts on their Celicas, they're not bikes.
