What do you guys think?, Paint, Emblems, Rims, Body Options

[DST94]

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.

ST and GT are the same. I think some custom fab is required IIRC. There is DEFINETELY a thread on here detailing that very operation - search search search!

#1:You live in the WORST area in the entire WORLD to drive a bright green body kitted illegally swapped car(LA) If you get pulled over once and they ref the car, youll have that on your record forever,youll have to put the entire car back to stock if you ever wanna legally register it again.
#2:Gas prices are only going to increase and LA is now mobiley smogging cars that drive by

Damn dude!!! Sounds like Nazi California! I really didn't need ANOTHER reason not to live in Cali - the douchebags were enough already
