I see'em non-carbon fiber black hood on almost every other riced up civic. But the Celica logo is pure awesome. Great job on the masking!

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!

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.

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.

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 -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207
