johnnehh's Progression, 1996 Celica GT Options

[samir0189]

nice find man! Id vote for painting the wheels bronze, that looks great on a black car.

[richee3]

I found my car's twin! Sweet action!!!

I personally wouldn't paint the stock wheels at all. They suit the car well. It's worth it to save up and buy a different set rather than painting the stock rims. You can tell that they are factory wheels that have been painted. Instead of spending your money on making an already sexy car look better, spend it on performance. Get one of the intakes from Ebay. Perked my car up a bit. Not a LOT, but it made a difference, and it was only like $30.

i agree, bronze would look good... i'm guessing you're spray painting and not powder coating though.

[SwissFerdi]

Bronze would look good, but I'm not sure it would be likeable in the long run...you know, you might get tired of it?

I say go for something in the range of gray to black.

Nice ride kid, wish I had a GT model. Looks good as is, a drop an a lip kit and your set on looks, well I would consider that perfect for me.

And about the paint, I say go with the bronze. It really looks nice on black and if you get tired of it, there's always the can of paint remover so wouldn't be hard for you to repaint them another color.

My camera got stolen at school...

I'm going to the store today to buy another one. It may be awhile before I get anymore pics.

Sorry.

I know! It got stolen out of my backpack at lunch. They didn't touch the four $20 bills sitting in the front compartment, though. Haha.

I went out and got myself a decent (better than before) camera. The pictures in the day time are gorgeous, pictures at night are garbage.

I'm gonna go on a photoshoot tomorrow with my car.





^^Photo quality. The night time picture quality is definitely better than my old camera, but not great.

Turn off the flash, if that is possible. Your night shots will be exponentially better, so long as you can hold the camera still enough for a clear shot.

Yeah, I did. I can't hold a camera still to save my life. Those 2 night pictures were selected from the 86 I took. Most of them were so blurry it was insane, and the other ones the color was messed up. Only the middle picture has flash. That's the only way I could make it look half decent.

I wonder how this camera will do in the rain... I love rainy day picture shots. I don't know why.

[SwissFerdi]

Haha, 86 pics sounds like my kind of fascination- I have a few hundred pics in my photobucket.

It was pretty much like;

*Click* *Reviews picture* "CRAP! BLURRY." *Click* *Reviews picture* "CRAP! BLURRY." *Click* *Reviews picture* "CRAP! BLURRY." 86 times... All alone in the empty road in the middle of the night.

...Yeah. The flash finally made it a bit more clear, and even though it looked like complete garbage, I was psyched that it wasn't blurry. Haha.

I went to some reviews, and apparently I've been doing it all wrong.

I gotta start learning about iso and shutter speed and all that jazz. Because now that mine's adjustable, I don't have an excuse for crappy-looking pictures.

What camera do you have now? I highly recommend you invest in a tripod. Then there won't be blurry photos anymore!

[johnnehh]

Decided not to spraypaint the stockies, and instead save up for some new rims.




It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas...


Hmm. Eggs.


WAIT A SECOND! THESE AREN'T EGGS!


I WANT A REFUND!








More pics later tonight when I go on a photoshoot with my home dawgs.

Looking clean. Why you decide not to paint stockies? I thought it would have looked great.
