Thanks man and I got the idea of the TRD grille badge from your car You need more pictures of yours!
Yeah it is a really nice look that I'm happy with and the Grille badge hardly cost anything haha Thankyou for the compliment! I'm still very jealous of the GT-Four you have! it looks so nice and i would want a black one too haha -------------------- It's not always about how fast a car is, but how it makes you feel.

So just to keep you all updated. I have just had a custom gauge cluster made for myself by The_enD (http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showuser=34901)
I went with short pods, no tint, no gloss, white rim and the word CELICA printed across the centre. and here are a couple of pictures: The gauge cluster has been shipped but I am yet to receive it, cannot wait honestly! I also have on the way a pair of Lexus ES 300 Door Strikers which I bought off richee3 (http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showuser=9542) I have finally gotten around to actually being able to remove the stock strut brace and now have put on the 3 piece TRD strut brace : Due to some rust parts of it will need to be repainted, so I am considering painting it white (040) to match the car and add some colour to the engine bay. What do you guys think? A friend of mine is selling me his HKS Mushroom Air Filter which I am quite excited to get, will be getting a blue mushroom part for it But here is a picture of it currently: Tell me what you guys think, I have finally finished exams so have time to work on the car Oh and also just a picture I took leaving work -------------------- It's not always about how fast a car is, but how it makes you feel.

Your gauge cluster looks awesome! I need to look into getting a custom gauge cluster myself. As for the engine bay, the mushroom blue filter would give it some color as well as painting the strut brace. I would also consider purchasing SokieTech hood struts. You can find them on eBay and they work great.

You can find them on eBay and they work great. Yeah I am really happy with the look of the cluster, should definitely look at getting one and I'm having second thoughts on painting the TRD brace since it will take away some of its value? but all the rest is still definitely going ahead I'll have a look at the hood struts now -------------------- It's not always about how fast a car is, but how it makes you feel.

Just a small update for you all
I have received my Lexus ES 300 Door Strikers, and honestly they do make the car look better, but only very subtly of course Before: After: Comparison: So as I said only a subtle change, but still an update that makes the car look that tiny bit better Also just because I could! Should also be putting the front SS-III Splitters on this weekend if the weather is good and have enough time P.S. Sorry for all the photos, I just personally find it more interesting to look at a thread with photos. Hope you are all enjoying the thread, I will keep you updated This post has been edited by JFXtreme007: Nov 7, 2014 - 8:30 AM -------------------- It's not always about how fast a car is, but how it makes you feel.

So everyone just another update.
Yesterday I decided it was a good day to paint my SS-III Front Splitters since one had to be repaired due to a crack when they arrived in the mail. Here is the preparation: And here is after all coats of paint: So the plan was to put them on today, but since they dried so fast with it being such a hot and sunny day, they were also put on, on the same day as they were painted I personally think it is an awesome addition to the car and makes it look that much better! Just a question I'm wanting to ask as well, what do you guys think of me going TRD rear splitters in place of the current SS-III ones?? Just curious to know what you all would think looks better for my car -------------------- It's not always about how fast a car is, but how it makes you feel.

Glad you like the strikers! They're a nice addition. Not something that 99% of people notice but they look much better than the stockers.

I've got the OEM side/TRD rear setup on mine. It's all personal preference. I was stuck deciding between SSIII and TRD for the longest time too. but I wanted the back end to come down a bit more so I chose TRDs and they came painted.
