Your car is looking sick! Where did you end up getting your hood? That one place that we agreed not to talk about The windshield wiper fluid poured all over the hood and it sat there so long that not even wax would take it out... So today I bought some stuff from kragen and buffed it and polished it like crazy. It's looking pretty good now. Looks like the same color as my car! Now I don't have to get it painted! -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica GT (GT4 conversion) - SOLD :(

Eh, didn't do much this time, this is more for showing you my car how it looks clean
I painted the hood vent black again, because the paint was chipping pretty bad. I also colored a few interior pieces silver aaand I also got the rubber thingy between the bumper and hood to fit nicely. Here ya go; ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

This car is looking great. It's come a long way since the first page and considering painting the factory rims bronze. Keep up the good work

x2 Wow this is starting to look alot like a black version of my car !! EDIT: Have you clear coated that yet? I never clear coated mine, but it is due for a respray as some areas have started to rub off over time (Only did 1 coat, now starting to see little bits of black again.) When yours becomes is due for a respray use Terps and a toothbrush to rub it all off and start again. This post has been edited by delusionz: Mar 28, 2010 - 11:48 PM -------------------- Mike W

Silver eh? I like that. Do you have more of a closeup? I'll take a few and pm them to you over the weekend This car is looking great. It's come a long way since the first page and considering painting the factory rims bronze. Keep up the good work Haha, yeah definitely, thanks man! EDIT: Have you clear coated that yet? I never clear coated mine, but it is due for a respray as some areas have started to rub off over time (Only did 1 coat, now starting to see little bits of black again.) When yours becomes is due for a respray use Terps and a toothbrush to rub it all off and start again. I did like 4 coats on mine. I'm going to take them off and do a respray, though, because there's some spots I messed up on. And thanks for the suggestion! I like the glimsp of the the non gt4 crash bar showing its silver through the gt4 bumper. Looks neat haha. My friend thought it was an intercooler! Looks good man. You getting fog lights ? & are you gonna change the indicators to clears? it'll go nice together. good job overall ! Fog lights will probably be put on this weekend. And I'll try to find myself some clear indicators and turns also. I'm not a big fan of the yellow, either -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica GT (GT4 conversion) - SOLD :(
