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 -------------------- |

Ok, another minor update. Bodywork is done, all panels have been fitted and aligned, support repairs have been made (pulled, nothing replaced, came out pretty good), color is going to be laid this weekend. Threw a couple more pics of the spoiler cause I love it so much. My ONLY complaint is that for as well integrated as it is, there's an edge at the side to the quarter panel. We talked about building up the quarter panel to suit with filler, but problem there is if anything hits it there is the very realistic chance of it chipping. The bottomside edge of the spoiler isn't done yet, he's got a sealant to lay and sand that will blend it nicely, and he did a phenomenal job clearancing the spoiler for the third brake light.
