Well I got my car back from the paint shop yesterday.
 I am finally done with what I wanted to do with the car. The 20v 4age was swapped onto the car back in Febuary 2006 and was up and running in March. I managed to keep my a/c system and power steering using custom made parts. The car was in the shop for repaint early June and I slapped on 18" rims and sold my 17" ADR's. This is as far as I can go with the car because of lots and lots of bills. It's been almost $10,000 into the celica to get it back to running condition and so forth.  Below is several picks from beginning to end. Enjoy!  When the car was in it's original state: Ok, this is all of the pics I got so far. Maybe I'll have plans on doing more to the car, but bodykit and splitters is out of the question (I'd feel sick about cracks and chips  ). I want to keep it looking as stock as possible. Maybe go with Carbon fiber interior panels, put back my sound system, and Curren tails,but that's as far as i'll go.

good question dustinbrown, why did you change to that colour? you had one of the most rarest colours for the 6gc.net and may i add one of the most sexiest. excellent swap for the 4A-GE looks real clean and professional *thumbs up* -R

Obviously you can see I still have it When I bought the car, the trunk and roof's clearcoat was peeling badly, to the point that it looks like frost. And also, there is a brown Celica GT hatch driving around town which made me want to consider a different color. So I ended up choosing the plat. metallic paint (Subaru OEM Paint). Besides, it's the only silver 6gc on the island, and it's powered by a 20v  -------------------- |

Also it looks like you left the engine bay the same old color... Did you JUST paint the exterior and not worry abut the engine bay, trunk, door jams....
