If you plan to keep the car forever than go ahead with the mods, but if your just gonna do it to make it look cool than take my word for it and use the money on something else.

I would think really hard at least twice before you go out and dish it on chrome rims or body kits. In the long run you might actually need the money to make the car run better and not look better.

If I could go back in time I would have just bought an IS300 vs modding my cars and having them all crap out on me.

Now where's the fun in that? There's nothing better than breaking down at 2am! Then having to push your car a couple miles! Lol.

Go for it dude, but definitely take heed to what soulshadow says, as great as our cars can look, they're no good if they don't run well! Good luck man, it'll be sweet when it's done! I wish I knew someone in the paint business, I'm really leary about getting mine done b/c of all the horror stories that I've heard! Don't forget to post up pics!

Kind of missin' my Celica GT! Hit me up if you're ever in my area. I'm always down for a meet.
