So my celica is white now and I just turned it in to receive a fresh new paint job. I chose hot rod black which is a flat black but with protectant. I'm having the front ss-III splitters installed as sell and replacing the pass-side fender. It'll be about a week's wait so I post up fresh pics when I get the car back.
This is what it is now before the paint:

Ok, so I talked with a few good buds about changing the color of my car and they all said it would be better to leave it the factory color than changing it drastically. They mentioned a lot about quality and getting everything right. Why would that be, I am a little concerned now about my choice especially going from white to black.
