Should i go with a color that offsets or blends?

The car is "toyota grey" as the dealer calls it. So black paint for the drums and IF i can find a high temp bronze then paint the front calipers? I think that would look pretty good.

If I had the power, I'd have disc's in the back but I don't need that kind of stopping power with how i drive. Imo my car would look ALOT better with disc's and from what i hear here, its not too hard to do the conversion but since i have knee sugery in a couple weeks, my focus is on other things at the moment. Maybe next summer.

In reply to the lights, they are what seperate me from everyone else in the celica community but also in my state. I don't take ur comments as mean jabs at all, I just know how to take feedback. But the only alternative that i consider possible is whether to put a nice black grill where they are and hide them in the back, because they are way to bright and great to have in bad weather in vermont that I'm not ready to take them off. So come next summer when I'm making money again and I'm 100% from surgery I'll possibly be tackling the rear disc conv. doing bodywork to remove all the rust and taking a look at grilling the front and hiding the lights. The celicas a never ending project smile.gif


i was mainly making a joke, i do not personally care for the 4 fog lights, but if you do, thats all that matters cause its your car.

you should look in to getting the ssIII grill, i think theres one on ebay right now
