QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ May 18, 2010 - 11:18 AM)  QUOTE (Keiri @ May 18, 2010 - 11:05 AM) Dang, you're going to have yours painted before I do. What color are you doing; black with red pinstripe like you mentioned before? Nah, I dropped that idea...I decided that I don't want them that dark. Basically, I'm just going a few shades darker but staying in the color range.  I almost don't want to paint because the silver of the wheels matches the Alpine Silver perfectly, but alas the wheels are eaten up, and I just want them to look good.That sounds pretty awesome. Make sure to use Tal-strip to remove the paint...it works without any real scraping unlike Rustoleum which took hours to scrape after numerous coats of their paint remover. -------------------- Has no more Celicas

QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ May 18, 2010 - 10:34 AM) Spider, I feel your pain. That SUCKS. And I did this yesterday, so forgive me, but:  Last picture of the tC wheels in OEM form. I'm having the tires taken off and then they're getting some paint.  Steelies are back on for now.God, I want a silver Celica...  Looks amazing... I fitted a FMIC that I've had for awhile (I have some other parts that "go along with it" ( ), I'm not telling anyone about until I'm ready to do the whole thing the right way... )

Today I.......................................... drove to work on my brand-new-road-hazard-warranty replaced Yokohama S.Drive and now all is right with the world.
Tomorrow I get my rear windows retinted (I dinged up the tint on the hatch pretty badly, so I'm having the rear 3 redone) from 35% to 20%. Fronts will remain 35% so I can keep it legal. --------------------  |

Since rolling the rear fenders this past sunday and no more rubbing, I was finally able to get my new tires put on. Based on my 16 mile trip home, so far I love my four new Yokohama ADVAN S4's
