Just a couple little things here and there for the celica.

Painted interior trim silver. Prepped with liquid sandpaper, used 4 coats of paint, and 3 coats of clear coat.

Custom CAI (thanks to urbandork's how-to). Routed to fender, required some cutting becuase they sent me the 3" pipes which were a little too big. This thing completely changes the sound of the car. It's friggin mean! (yes I know my engine bay is filthy, so please don't tell me to clean it)

I'm glad you did the inserts right, with the prep/paint/clear coat. It scratches off fast if you don't do it right. Nice job, looks great!
dustin15brown
How do you do it "right" cuz I'll be doing the same thing
Cutrara
Sand, Paint at least three coats and use clear coat. I don't have my interior painted but I did it for a friend about 18 months ago and it still looks great.
dustin15brown
How much sanding do you need to do?
Cutrara
Enough so the paint will stick, try like a 300 grit.

Thanks man
Cutrara
No problem, Good luck! smile.gif

Thanks for the compliments smile.gif . As far as the decal/slow-car comment, the rear just looked bland and I think that it looks nice. Plus, it's not gonna be a slow car for too long wink.gif . I'll get a night pic of the alpine, it looks soo nice.

Don't buy exels. I hate mine. Get some 5zigens, their reasonably priced and quality

ok mate, so we need to brighten up the inside of the standard car !

you where going to colour code it to the car colour ? you've got a '4' there mate so you need subtle not in your face IMO, just my two cents worth...

gt driffter.......

i like what you've done to your car, it look nicely done, good quality work, just a bit too bright IMO for our cars but it looks good all the same smile.gif keep going fella..

dude pay attention, I know you have a ST and it is slow, but it says he has GT4, these are not slow in case you didn't know
