no, paint wasn't done. He just jacked his own car from the shop because he's suffering from celica-deprivation.

QUOTE (rentaspace @ Jul 20, 2013 - 8:53 PM) Now I have to clean my pants.... Looks so good... If possible, get a side-profile pic  Snapped a quick side profile while I was working on my emblems today-  So sprayed the TEQ emblem gold, sanded it, and recoated it. It turned out like this -  Then I ended up mounting it like this -   It looks awesome in the pictures, but in person it was just way too bulgy so I took it off. The super glue I had used on the emblem to hold it to the black bg stuck to the paint though so I had to scrap all the paint off (itd be too thick for 3 coats) and start over again. Lol. I'm making Matt a green one now too

QUOTE (Box @ Jul 22, 2013 - 11:09 PM) That's strange, are you sure you did everything right? I'm assuming one of the ballasts in near the fuse/relay box? If so try relocating the ballast and see if it still happens. It shouldn't be interfering with anything, I'd be afraid it could interfere with something more serious in the future. Try sending a message to whoever you bought them from, could be a defective ballast. Hm Ill try that, but neither of the ballasts are near the fuse/relay box, in fact the only relay that is near the ballasts is my aftermarket Fog Light Relay >.< One ballast is mounted on the metal triangle in between the two headlights, and the other is mounted on the drivers side wall of the engine bay (relays are on the passenger side) The ballasts are slim I believe... Also, it isn't interfering with the actual radio itself, it is interfering with the signal of the radio... Since if I have it on Bluetooth there is no interference... --------------------  ------------------------------| White '94 Celica | Bought 11/05/12 | Sold 12/05/15 |------------------------------ |

I Google'd it and apparently it's a common problem with cheap HID kits. EMI filters on each ballast will solve the issue.

You don't even know.  It's been almost painful the last few days. I've been helping a friend with some carbon deposits in her MKV GTI and it really made me miss turning a wrench on the Celica. THe iming of getting it back couldn't have been any better. We walked into the shop to check on it today and found the shop owner cleaning the dust off the car, totally shocked to see us.QUOTE (Keiri @ Jul 23, 2013 - 2:30 PM) Congratulations Dan! Time to take some great pictures of it for the 2014 calendar. Thanks Brian! Unfortunately, my car is still a long way from being calendar worthy. Not to mention my crappy $200 Nikon point and shoot could never take a picture that could even be considered for COTM, much less the calendar. Also, PM me your shipping address. I have those clear sidemarkers back here and I can get them shipped out soon. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

As far as I'm concerned, the pictures will be your property and yours to submit. I'll share them here on the forum and maybe on the Facebook but everything else will be your permission.

You could totally make it on COTM. You have to update your sig now though.
