ever seen this before? i just thought it was cool... i can't say i like it, neither can i say i dislike it...
   and on a side note, i found this on the Ultimate Celica Forum... it's like 6gc.net but in japanese, it's bigger and with a lot of content.. i still have to visit all the sub-forums and look at more celicas! 3/4 of the cars are gt-fours and are tastefully modded... oh man. soo cool! oh and i found this handy How-To page, read it and you'll learn a lot of misc things.. (translated) How-To Articles am i allowed to steal info like this?  -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

I hate to say it but I actually thing it's HIDEOUS! I think those tail light masks are SUPER gay in a plastic spinning-rim wheel cover Wal-Mart kinda way, and lambo doors are ostentatious and played out! The muffler sticks out and totally works against the lines of the rear, and what is that, duct tape above it? I'm sure it's not, but it looks like it a little in the pic.
I can totally appreciate the work and time that went into it, but for my own taste I think it's butt-ass ugly. IMO 7th Gs have their place and 6Gs have their place, but I think this car detracts from the design elements of both and bastardizes the Celica as a whole. --------------------  |

I think most of us were talking about the conversion - not the various rice-like mods present. On that count, you would have few people that would disagree with you. Now, take a lude woman. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

No one actually asked for specific responses regarding technical stuff vs. aesthetic stuff. I just chose to address the aesthetic aspect is all. I'm goin' to take my 'lude now
