Are you painting the hood and bumper to match, or doing a total respray?

Got new rims

When said about modification I didn't mean the ones made by man. What I said was that it might have modified after being affected by a certain force. |

Found the reminders of a dodgy respray when I took off the mud guard to fit the rear splitters... Apart from the fact that they lost the screw that goes underneath, there is a very visible paint edge that will no longer be hidden under anything
  On this note; advice for fitting TRD rear spats... Double sided tape or 2 small self-tapping screws in the holes at the end? (with stock screws in the wheel well of course - the mounting bracket underneath is missing though). I want something that I can remove afterwards whenever I sell the car or go for a different look that doesn't leave any noticeable marks or cause myself too much of a headache. --------------------  SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |

You could try wet sanding and then buffing and polishing it to try and smooth it out.

I want something that I can remove afterwards whenever I sell the car or go for a different look that doesn't leave any noticeable marks or cause myself too much of a headache. The screws underneath the bumper are just that- underneath the bumper. A potential buyer would literally have to look directly at the bottom of the bumper to find any trace of any holes. Being that it's a plastic bumper, it'll never rust or cause any problems, so having the little extra screw won't hurt anything at all. Like I said in our PM's, I went with pop rivets in mine for a slightly more permanent and slimmer solution. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Yeah, I've been waiting on him to post some updates. Was really looking forward to that one being a success.

Yeah, I'm actually more concerned about the new paint chipping away, rather then just the look... But I'll see how it goes.

Like I said in our PM's, I went with pop rivets in mine for a slightly more permanent and slimmer solution. Our chats are exactly where this plan came from... I just thought the screws would be easier to take out if I needed to, although they will be slightly less clean than yours installed. I actually went out and bought the little screws to do it yesterday, but I just wanted to check some other opinions before I went ahead... I hate drilling into my car  BUT... I might have some new pics tonight

It was actually yesterday, but I swapped the drivers axle, front superstrut assembly (driver side) and the power steering pump on my GT-Four. All that's left to do is replace my flex pipe and I'm ready to get her on the road finally!

Meh, for most people it's just a car. That's just about any car though. The few other Celicas I have happened to see are rough, makes mine look like a show queen. Yeah my clear is peeling(previous owner's neglect), but I keep the car clean and the paint as nice looking as possible.

Today I bought some interior pieces from a friend and had a go at popping them in.
I didn't reaalise that some parts were different between the facelift / prefacelift so I had to remove EVERYTHING to trial fit them before doing so. Needless to say they got a bit grubby whilst doing so although they'll be getting redone in 040 anyways when I can get my hands on some  Also the 3 blanks will be removed and replaced with the coint try which conveniently holds my mobile too so that'll be swapped as well Only a quick pic which is why nothings connected apart from the stereo (Don't wanna tinker in silence do I)  |
