Well, I am posting this to see what u guys think. I'm 31 now and have a kid and when I drive my car around it gets so much attention it makes me feel like its too flashy for me. Don't get me wrong now...I love the car and it's sooo much fun but I just feel like when my kid jumps out of the back people look at me like "holy cow a little kid just rode in that!" I own a house and have a family now I should just get a normal car and stop with having a daily and having a garage queen that my kid thinks is a waaaaaa zoooooom car. I'm selling the whole swap and putting back to na to sell off everything at a more reasonable price. It will be a sad day when it druves away but I'm sure it will make someone super happy.

I'll tell you straight up, if I saw your Celica, I would think wow...some 16yr old trying to look like cool or trying to look like 2fast 2furious. I would be embarrassed to drive that car at my current age of 22, let alone 31! It's not the car that's the problem, it's how you made the car look. Return the body to stock with some nice wheels and then it'd be much more clean and presentable. |

Just isn't as cool now. It's done 100% the right way which is what really matters to me. No cutting corners doing things halfazz is what makes it cool even if the style is not up to date. -------------------- ![]() |

I understand. So 10 years ago would bring us right around the time of Fast & Furious. Explains everything. Well anyway...Why not redo it to bring it up to date? Even just a different front bumper/body kit, get rid of that gaudy wing and some nicer wheels would do wonders. |
