well, there's no avoiding damage when a pole is hit. but, i will not be molding the front since removing the front bumper is the only way to change headlights, etc. on the 6gc. But, other than major accidents molding is pretty sturdy IMO.

ohh by the way... i still don't have my car. they needed another day, and i really don't want to rush the paint job. just too much risk. but, i will have to have a very serious talk with the body job for keeping my car for 4 weeks now. i'm going to look into that Better Business Bureau stuff. It definately escalated it when i cought them on their lie for not having my car painted yet, when they said they did.

do you have some sort of written receipt with a promise date or something similar? that way you have something that shows the progress of the car versus what they originally told you

Looks awesome, hope all goes well

Well you best get on that dude. I hope you got something written down saying that they would have it done vs. using just thier words that they would get it done.

[JasonX]

Well, alright guys...
I got the car back and it looks pretty awesome. There's a couple of spots I want them to re-touch. i'm going to take it back for one day next week and then it'll be complete. I will post pics tomorrow. Thanks all....

[bccentaur3]

Sweet... pics would be awesome.

[CelicaST_CALI]

how much this costing u?

[JasonX]

how much this costing u?

$800, what you think? decent price?

[JasonX]

i wanted to share the pics with you guys right away, so i took a couple of pics after school. i'll post more detailed pics tomorrow including the rear bumper. I think the bumper came out real good considering they had to modify the hatchback kit for the coupe. it looks better than the coupe kit i had before so not bad. Lemme know what you guys think...

looks good. but you need to do something about that wheel gap. some lowering springs would be great. but if you're too concerned about messing up your kit (shouldn't be a problem though), bigger rims/tires will help too.

thanks for the feedback. you are absolutely right about the wheel gap. i'm slowly fixing up the celica as you can see. first i had to even out the front with the rest of the body. Now, i can work on the wheel gap. I probably won't get to it right away, since i like spreading out my budget. But, I sure do need some advice. I think I would like to keep the overall height of the car same. How can I take out the gap? IMO bigger tires and rims will make it higher. Do I need to get the bigger rims and tires, then lower it again (i think guy before me lowered it a bit) to get back to the original height? I'll post a pic when I had 18" rims for a try out (still had the gap)
