6G Celicas Forums

Awesome that Josh was able to find those risers for you. I have been tossing up as to get the GT-4 / SSIII spoiler or not but just the vast size of it put me off it. Now with these half blocks I think it would look fantastic! so jealous. My Celica is at the garage at the moment getting a major service done to her so the funds will be down a little bit again so no major modding going on for me.

Well, got some stuff done:
Started with a mad scramble of changing to my Caldina Alloys


Drove to the Tyre Shop and half an hour later:


And then another half hour after that, Alignment was complete and the new tyres were installed. $560 total, and I chose Toyo Proxes CF1 over the Kumho KU31 since the KU31 are directional and I am sick of that haha

Got back home and had a faceoff (the new tyres are great):




And, now that its done I have gone through the National Park pretty hard, and woooow the difference is amazing... These tyres are 100x better than the Roadstone crap that were on my 15" wheels...


Next paycheck comes in on the 28th and Spacers will be on the top of the list to get (y)

Good choice with the Toyos over the Kumhos. Kumhos are garbage. Cheap, yes, but you get what you pay for.

Now give me your rims as spares.

hahaha yeah, the Toyo were only $5more/tyre so not much!

Woke up this morning to find:


Unwrapped them and:


After procrastinating for a while, my girlfriend wanted the splash guards installed so I got to work deciphering the Japanese instructions (Just in case installation wasn't as straight forward as it looked). My girlfriend decided to wash my windows while I worked and around 5 minutes later:





They look really nice on a white car! Big thanks to Rusty for these!
And Big Thanks to Josh for arranging the Half-Riser Blocks!

no problem glad you like them

Extra Photos with the SLR:

Those window deflectors really suit the white Celica.
I know its only a small mod, but I like the subtle little TRD stockers on the wing mirrors too.

Thanks!

I am contemplating changing the mirrors too black though, to match the riser blocks....
Will have to see what it looks like with them white first

I have white Celi/black mirrors, it suits it very nicely.

But a black roof to match it

I like how it doesn't distract the eye on white Celicas and keeps it on the body lines. The roof is not that crucial.

Stock matte black mirrors, no black roof yet

Looks nice, I might be doing the same (y)

Before:




Working:


20 years of dirt:


After:




In case you are wondering, the spoiler is off to put the half risers on.
Thought I'd rock the spoiler less look for a little bit...
Not sure if I will get the spoiler on this weekend though...

MCM for the win!

Excited to see the risers on, should be maaaad

Eh can't get the riser block on
The clips are all rusted and local toyota dealer is a dick.
And I don't want to connect them with metal to paint anyway
