Both of my driver's axle boots tore. Grease everywhere. Will be replacing axle with new unit soon.

I must commend the Celica on three years and nine months of flawless service, as this is really the first thing to "break" on the car. Thanks love. <3

Mine did that also... during the summer... lol... No issues yet tongue.gif But I'm sure they'll need to be replaced soon.

Today I got a call from my wife, telling me as she was backing out of the garage she hit the celica. Turns out I will be needing a new bumper cover, and turn signals...hopefully nothing else is damaged.

Process was quiet simple. Remove the mirror from the car, by the 2 screws under the cover on the roof. Mask off the surrounding grey edge with tape, and apply coats of plasti-dip. I can remove it easily if i need to smile.gif

Did the two-post three-post thing a few days ago. I'm still not sure why Toyota designed the spoiler so oddly, but I do like it for the 90s appeal. The look is much improved with the middle post gone.

Still driving on a leaky axle.

Idk about on the hatch but on the coupe the spoiler is kinda flimsy without the middle post
So i think it was put in to stiffin the wing up

Nope, doesn't flex at all.

If I'm correct in saying, the coupe three-post is straighter, meaning it may need that third post in order to prevent movement. I assume the more rounded shape of the hatch three-post may lend a bit more stiffness and resistance to flex.
