First i wanna say thank you to Martin (Malpaso) for his support. I had plans of doing this before but never had the funding and a problem with the seller in UK for a long time. And then Martin completed his SS-Four bumper and by looking at his pictures, it solved all the probems i initially had. tongue.gif Thank you Martin, you the man!

So i finally got the bumper from UK after many complaining and off i go to the body shop where i used to work during the summer






I got paint and body stuff for a cheap price since i was their best prep guy they had biggrin.gif

For some reason, the grill didn't lineup perfectly... but not noticeable

The things i still need to do (exterior wise):
1. Paint the bumper "teeth" back to black
2. Paint my UK splitters silver
3. Exchange the high beams seal because i "accidentally" painted over them
4. Put the rear ss-III splitters on after paint
5. Getting my rims in about a month or so (and tires)









Do you think i should paint the bumper "teeth" back to black? I'm kinda getting used to it being painted...

C&C welcomed

My new wallpaper. GOODNESS that reflection looks amazing. Great progress man! I'm really loving the rims! One question, what paint did you use for the Euro splitters? I want to paint mine soon and I'm not sure what to use.

It feels good to know there is someone out there using my picture and car for their wallpaper, thank you.
I used a spray can from automotivetouchup.com. They have the paint code for our cars. The paint is a little off do to my original pain faded with sun but results are pretty decent.

i LOVE this celi. should paint it black, red or white though imo smile.gif only cause im not a fan of silver haha

Thanks!
Yeah, a lot of my car buddies HATE silver with a passion. They say its not a sports car color. (Who said a celica is a sports car? tongue.gif )
Love black, it makes our car look so much better but they fade over time and swirl marks are so visible with black. I was thinking about repainting it black but then i would have to paint the door hinges, engine bay, and all the hard to get places that i won't be able to do myself. I want it to be a "complete" paint job (since i don't want the ghetto paintjob where only the outside is painted black and when you open the door all you see is silver...)
White is nice if i had a full kit on and also white gets dirty easily. I'm not at a place where i can give frequent car washes to make her look sharp.
Red? I have a friend that drives a red integra and he's always competing against me so i would try to stay away from red lol.

Reason why i'm repainting the car silver:
Even when the car is dirty. it looks clean.
No extra paint needed for engine bay, door hinges, etc.
I'm repainting it to a Lexus silver so it should SHINE. (yes all CAPS)
