I think I like the OEM GT4 Spoiler on the back better, but yours is very clean, I like that also.
I also prefer the TOM's Front Lip. I would take the yellow out of the rear turns. And I would put a rear visor spoiler on the top of the hatch. Needless to say, your car still looks amazing. I love how clean it is. It's definitely a beautiful car. |

Very nice omp steering wheel. Suede ftw! What brand seats are they? Are you on fixed mounts or slider rails?
Dont worry, i can see they are fixed mounts and that they are racetech. This post has been edited by whatthe: Jan 20, 2011 - 1:32 AM -------------------- |

Doesn't fit very well on the GT4, even if you can mask the poor fitment it still looks bizarre on some angles. I've tried it, ended up ditching it. I reckon C-one front lip, TRD sides & TRD rears. TRD spoiler, Why not? it is after all TRDGT4 and not OEMGT4. And as always, this car is an inspiration to my little beast! -------------------- Mike W

Was contemplating going for the clean OEM look with 3 45MM gauges above my deck, however I`m starting to really enjoy the raw rally look that you got going on. Looks great Also sorry one more question! I`m bombarding you here haha, what did you use to make the stainless piece that hangs overtop of the exhaust to protect from exhaust burn/black? Looks clean.

If you a meaning the piece that has the bid TRD sticker on it well that's just as you say a piece of stainless sheet attached to where the battery bracket was mounted I drilled out the spot welds and fitted "riv nuts" see link Rivet-Nut hope that helps. -------------------- _______________May COTM 2011_______________ |

So I have entered the "V" 4 and Rotary Jambo on the 27th of March Click here for more info
But the only problem is my car is a well daily driver and since the last show it needs a really ground up clean so below I thought I would show you all a little of how crazy I getting on this clean!! Also I should mention this year I plan to have the Celica looking a little different than just straight white even though there's no better colour But you will all have to wait and see once it gets to the show but dodn't worry I will get lots of photo's stay tuned....... -------------------- _______________May COTM 2011_______________ |
