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.

Your setup isn't that bad even for today. The paint and that wing do have to go. I've been into cars just as long as you have. I'm now 29 and started when I was 16, but my taste and setup has always been the clean stock look with slight mods (mostly factory performance body panels or JDM). I never liked anything that didn't fit right or require bondo or any sort of body modifications. If anything, just get a GT4 wing and change the paint to something cleaner and less F&F.
I liked the movies but dang I hate it for what it did to the car scene during the early 2000's. The worst being the sequel and how it portray the car modding scene as a colorful party club like life just bother me so much. -------------------- ![]() 1990 Celica Turbo All-Trac, 1977 Celica GT Liftback, 1999 Celica GT Convertible, 2004 Lexus IS300 5-Speed |
