Thanks
10k O.T.D. I IT at the dealership and they keep telling me they lost money on the deal but I highly doubt it. I looked it up and it was a trade in they gave previous owner 6,700 for the car and did about 2,000 worth of work on it. BTW it was a certified used car by toyota with 3 yr warranty Its a auto so I dont think I'll be adding header or exhaust (maybe changing the tips though)... I'm leaning torwards looks and functionality. How about a subtle body you guys can suggest??? -------------------- '99 GT & '06 GTI

Very nice cars...one of the nicest stock celicas ive seen. Id suggest getting your hands on a pair of JDM tail llights...cuz i just cant stand the stock tail lights. but thats just me. Also id agree with dustin on the tint and sidemarkers. and then get some nice speakers/head unit.

I would say jdm tails look good, but unless youre wife is into cars I doubt she will understand paying $200+ for tail lights that are only slightly different

nice car. i agree with everyone else. the splitters with your side skirts would look awesome yet subtle. and i'm not a big fan of the tail lights either. so if you got 200+ bucks laying around get some jdm tail lights. if not, then redding them out looks pretty good too. there's a bunch of stuff here you can learn so you'll always have something to do to your car.

sweet... thanks for the input guys
yea I like the ssiii splitters and I need some JDM H.I.D. Headlights and tails also.. she already has a set of rims she would like on the car: Motegi FF7 in gunmetal. I'll keep you guys updated as I start modding the ride. Oh, btw I am on the vortex. same SN edit: I checked the parts database and I couldnt find the SSIII spliters??? can someone suggest where I can purchase some?
