Got side skirts from mgnt today so I painted them (not a total match) and got them on =) I know I havent done a lot but I think it's getting there.

lol great, but those sideskirt is custom made ?
they look excactly the same as mine, since mine comes from invader 90-93 body kit,
its look like its the same but someone cut it, maybe im wrong,
anyway nice skirt, just need some rims now

Yea they are invader skirts that he already cut as they use to be on his celi when it was red.

I would love to get rims but haven't come across any that I like in the right price range.

they arent custom? theyre the 6gc invader skirts lol.
Glad they ended up in good hands.
You may want to do something about the rust underneath though. Spray it with some rust resistant paint, or undercoating. Cause you wont see it now, but it will get worse, and obviously you dont want that lol
I got a spray can matched to my paint code before, and it was very close.

1 can did my front bumper, so it should do the sides too

Im going to be taking them off and grinding away the rust and put sealer on it but for now I just wanted to get them on =D; car looks so much better IMO now

Skirts look great. What's next?

Well my inspection is up next month so I have to redo the break lines and do some small welding on the exhaust. After that I'm not really sure, perhaps a head unit?

maybe get those skirts colour matched ? u cud get some factory 6gc rims u could probly get them pretty cheap and would look 100 times better

I would love to get some gt rims but it's not a priority at the moment =p

Try looking for some Scion TC rim's. They're 17" and roughly the same price range as the stock GT rims. It'll look nicer and they have the exact same offset as the GT's. They are just taller. Same 7" width as the GT's too. They're similar to Gen7 GTS rims.

I have two friends with TC's and I'm trying to convince them to get rims so I can get their stock rims

very nice. Slowly but surely

Thanks man, it means a good deal to hear nice things and see my car come together =)

Going to be giving the car a look around as I need to get it inspected but till tomorrow I figured I'd make a heat shield =p




Annnddddd the other project going on =)

First off a better picture of the heat shield which seems to be helping a little =), and I took off the stickers lol

Nice celi bro, you should look into some riser block that'd set it off. I have some on mine but they're currently off due to spoiler coming unbolted while going down my subdivision road. so ill be expony it to the block. But off my car and back to yours haha. Tc wheels would look sweet, would you paint them or keep them the way they look if you get?

I never noticed a difference in with a heat shield on my old filter. It does keep the filter cleaner though.

If I was doing a swap I would go for the block as I think they give a much more aggressive look. If I did get the TC rims I would prob keep them the same


If I was smart I would have kept my stock box and made something like what rusty has but the shield seems to help but yes the main reason was to keep it cleaner

thought I'd add a picture without adding a new post

I was thinking about modding my stock box. I may still do it, haven't decided yet. Isn't it true that the square, stock boxes, with K&N filters are actually better than an intake? That the pipe behind it is actually the only thing that catches air?
