6G Celicas Forums

My biggest pet peeve is virtually what Tiga said- people who put an exhaust on the car then immediately become so cocky that they think their stock Cavvy will kill a Vette ZR-1.

We can let you slide Joe. At least its not one of those where it looks like someone stole a park bench and attached it to their trunk. I'm just not big on chrome myself. Even on some of the 60's cars its out of place. To me chrome belongs to the 50's. Hey, thought of something else. Wal-Mart/parts house auto trim. I mean, really...


I see what you did there. Always string my own, no poked eyes or stripped machine heads.

The wife is gonna put that door trim crap on our crv

But its nore to protrct the celicas tho

Just today I had one asking me to charge his AC system in his Acura TL something or nother. I look under the hood to amuse him, and yea...completely covered in plastic...have fun with that.



haha, you can make it work nicely with notecards, and a bit of wrist action.

Oh, I know you can but most people don't and they end up with overspray.

Was planning on painting my rims soon... Would like to have the entire rim painted, but can't afford all the expense of separating tire and rim. then putting back together. Then no way of storing the car without wheels on...etc... Would mask off the entire tire so can get the rim from all angles. That's after cleaning, sanding, cleaning again, then primer and paint. Hopefully would look good. Will be using enamel spray paint... Or I'll just leave them alone and keep the boring aluminum.

I have never takin my tires off to paint rims
Just like painting anything else its all in thw prep work
The better you mask off the better the results

What I was thinking, all about preparation. Found a "how to" online where someone painted their Vette rims with tires on. Theirs looked really nice. Going to follow their step by step. Being OCD also helps in these cases I guess.

NOS stickers. And manufacturer banners.

Hey guy with the Civic. We understood it was Honda before you spray-painted the "H" logo on the hood and roof. Then you put a "HONDA" vinyl across your windshield, and "H" logo on your back window. We get it, it's still a stock Honda. Mighty D-series power.

When they tune by ear and the notes don't play right.

Stickers!! Mother f***ing underglow or any other neon lights.

I agree with you and Kurt - it's all in the prep work. I had months to strip, sand, and paint my tC wheels but if I had to do them while on the car I'd make sure to mask them, use index cards inserted between the rim and tire to prevent overspray, and use nice even coats without a ton of runoff.

^ Or, do it the easy way and spray the wheels flat black, that way, no need to mask off the tire. Although why somebody would paint their wheels while on the car is a bit beyond my reasoning.

My pet peeves include people who don't use correct syntax for their peeves, along with terrible exhaust mods - you guys know what those are.

I'll take the wheels off the car, so I can paint all of the rim not covered by tire. Just not taking the tire off the rim. Thinking can get two at a time. Have a floor jack and two stands. Hmm, back on topic eh....

Cheap aftermarket HID kits.

I take the rims off the car i just dont take the tire off the rim

Aluminum wings that set like 4-5 foot off the car the set high enough you can see them over the roof line
They look sooooooooo stupid
i turned down a civic si on trade one time because of that
Oh an the stupid chrome euro lights on a all stock car

Is anyone else guilty of stuff on this list
