I'm so excited, Manny...and a little envious that you get to overhaul your Celi before I do. Oh, and now I have to pick out a new color combo, LOL. That was exactly what I was going to paint mine. Congrats and keep us posted.

well, time for a couple more progress pics..last weekend, i painted the inside of my rear wheelwells with POR15, a rust preventive paint.
i also recieved the OEM TRD skirts from doggy, unfortunately, they were broken in shipping, but i was able to repair them. the OEM rear extension replicas arrived without any damage.    i really REALLY like the way you can see the muffler abit in that first pic...it was more hidden with the SSIII rears. looks like ill have to keep up more on polishing it from now on!! haha ahhh...finally...the look i've been wanting to have on the car for a LONGGGGGG time, is finally comming together.

QUOTE(FORGMANN @ Jan 28, 2007 - 6:59 PM) [snapback]522083[/snapback] would recommend getting US sidemarker light shaved and get some oem style side repeaters in clear from uk ... lexus is200 has them in europe in clear .... i think all US 6g's would look way better with euro/jdm side repeaters .. u can get on ebay uk in many tints as well I 2nd this thought. Anyway, really looking nice Manny.
