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. This post has been edited by Fastbird: Jun 1, 2009 - 9:09 PM --------------------  |

Given I can't get fired from one of my jobs, I would probably welcome getting canned from my pt time job. Would leave me a lot more personal time. What I was saying was that instead of having my vette just get fired up on Friday the 13th, I'd have it done and tuned sitting in my garage.

I know the feeling about getting rid of the part time job... Its startin to kick my butt... But the extra income is really nice I'm excited to see pics and stuff of what is going on! --------------------  |
