The Celica got a new outfit!, Paintjob, Projectors, Rims Options

[Camax333]

Hey guys.

I have a huge update for my celica. I did all the body work including partially stripping the old paint and some body work. I sanded the entire car with 100grit and then fixed two cracks in the spoiler and a bunch of shopping cart dents. Then I took the car to maaco and got their $500 paintjob and paid an extra $500 to finish off stripping the car and to prime the entire car. The paintjob came out awesome and the pearl finish is sooo nice, proving that maaco can do an acceptable job on the car if the correct prep work is done for a reasonable price. The only problems were a little overspray on the windows(which came off easily with a window scraper) and they messed up my tint on the front driver window, but they took $100 off!! (It only costs $20 to retint that window). Now lets just see how long it lasts. I also got some projectors (thanks my2celi) as well as replacing the two passenger side rims which had really bad curb rash. Now I just have to repaint my calipers and wire the accent lights in the projectors and the celica project is complete (at least for now).


If anybody has some tips for cleaning the black rubber trim let me know. I don't want to paint it.
Also, no matter how much I try to clean my windshield it always looks dirty. Anybody have any tips to clean it?
Lastly, I need a new signature, so some help would be appreciated!

Enjoy some pics!
