Hey guys. I've been working on my Celica for a long time; so far I am up to a C-One front end, "Boomer" side skirts (that was the name I found them under), and Z3 Cyclone fenders, and rear Splats. I'm almost done sanding/ filling now and looking to paint. I'm doing all this with green_machtoy, and am looking to have some feed back on my ideas.

1) Base coat is going to be the Lamborghini green. Paint code *0077

2) I was thinking of doing sort of a candy coat of black, the point of this is to darken the green so that it is less intense and give it more depth. I don't know the technical term.

3) I wanted to add two black stripes from the edge of the hood to the trunk. I was thinking of making them 10 inches wide and 3 inches apart.

4) To top off the paint, id finish with a nice clear coat to bring a nice finish to it.

5) For the Emblems I wanted to take two of the old school Celica Dragon Emblems and replace the Toyota "T" with them. I also was thinking of taking the old school Toyota emblem that has a miniature Celica Dragon next to it on the left side of the trunk, and a TRD Emblem on the right. The problem I am running into, is that I would need all of these in black.

6) The spoiler is going to be a bit of a challenge, green and I have come up with a design that mimics the Roush spoiler. I really don't have any other way of describing it, but we plan on glassing it onto the car before paint. (The stripes would go on top of it)

7) For the rims I wanted some 18" 5 flat black rims.


I just am looking for some feedback and will take any suggestions you guys give. Below are some images that I used to come up with this design.

2) No Pics

3) http://customerpics.americanmuscle.com/image.php?img=7436

4) Shiny

I think your plan will bastardize a Celica.
