thanks.. yeah i know the black hood makes it look cheap.. but it was fading and I am gonna get a cf hood eventually.. so its nice to get myself use to how it'd look.. and the celica on the hood was just an after thought since he cutout those letters from the tail light cover.. and he was like, what about on the hood, and it just looked nice!

[devilsden97]

looks good.

how well did that newspaper hold up? i guess there are no bugs in your area, lol. hood came out nice, i like the front sticker..the back one on the other hand......

[JFrost9]

Yea im digging that front with the celica writing, looks very clean.. As for the back, i think that maybe making a cutout of the toyota symbol and making that a brake light instead might of looked better. Maybe once its matching and all the holes are covered it will look better, but im not sure.

Yep i have an air suspension.. that pic is fulling dropped... I had to get it with that style body kit. Lowering springs was just too hard to drive around with.

how much was it total and what are the specs on the air ride

[hmongtaejien]

awesome.

how do you do your paint? sand, paint, and then an overcoat?

mind telling me, that'll be awesome.

[ScoobyDood]

The car is hot, but I'm not diggin the vinyl on the brake light, I'd say paint it instead so that vinyl doesn't have to run on to your car.

[CelicaZR]

Good job Daniel

[Galcobar]

Third brake light -- fifth-gen though:

[Jaws4God]

awesome.

mind telling me, that'll be awesome.

my friend sanded it with a power sander... then primer... then spray paint.. then wet sand.. the final spray coat.

how much was it total and what are the specs on the air ride

looks like they don't carry my kit anymore.. http://www.airbagit-store.com/product.asp?...a&search=celica

but i got the "slow" air kit .. cheapest they had.. .$1200. but wasn't worth it... I should have saved more and gotten a nice kit. I had to add more into it to get everything working and it sill isn't the best... but it does work enough to use it.
(i can go into more details if you like)

Advice: going for performance=springs/shocks or GOOD coilovers, going for show: Airbags
