Figure it's a good Valentine's day present for my wife. Our Celica is going into the shop on Saturday next week. Here's a recap of what happened.

Accident the day before Thanksgiving:


So what's being done??

The obvious:
New Hood, Front Bumper Cover, passenger side fender, Projector Low and High beams.

The not-so-obvious:
FULL paint job.
Shaved front marker lights.
Shaved door handles.
Clifford Matrix RSX 3.3 Remote Start Alarm System
DCW Ducktail spoiler is being molded in for a smooth transition.
5th Gen Power Mirrors being put on
3Post Spoiler holes being welded/smoothed
All the little dents/dings being removed.

And immediately after we get the car back:
DCW Gauge Face Cover (like in Dustin's car)
Finishing the Red/Black CF interior stuff
Kenwood DDX-812 going into the car

I'm going to try to get some stuff done before we take the car in, adn I'll be working on the car while it's in the shop. Will keep updating this thread as things progress. I'm SOOOOOOO excited that it's finally being fixed.

Gorgeous!

I'm personally a fan of the much older vettes, but with no garage, I couldnt bring myself to own one and keep it outside. My Uncle used to road race them with SCCA, so I've naturally got a soft spot for them.
