I need some ideas, body work, paint, ect... Options

[CelicaChick95]

Ok so my car is going to be disbled for a few days while it gets some body work done and I am thinking about doing a little more than just fixing what needs to be fixed and changing the color, but I'm not so sure what would look good. I would just like some oppinions on if i should add like a body kit or just leave it stock. Or what looks good and doesn't look good. And what color or any other suggestion you think would be something good to do. Here are some pictures of my car as of 10 minutes ago.

those bbs rim in my opinion are fudgin ugly..i have never liked them and i dont think many people do...
so yeah get some new rims..some that you like..and springs are your personal option too..but rims and lower look super hot on our cars.. i dont know you budget.. but if you dont get rims still get some lowering springs.. i wish i would have done that before i got my rims..cuz now my car looks like a truck with my 18s

I was planning on lowering it, not sure how much i should though. As for my budget; it's pretty good, I'm about to graduate high school; so i'll have a ton of money coming in and my 18th bday is right around the corner so, i'm in the mood to fix my car up and make it quick.

want to make it quick??? turbo it screw all other things i said untill you have a turbo on it...

[hurley97]

curren tails!
see if vincent_doggy still has any for sale

I plan on it, it's deff like number 2 on my list. I have to get my tail light and some body work done before that beast can go in. I keep getting pulled over because white light shows out of my tail.

curren tails!

I just bought stock tails that I was thinking about tinting from 6th_celi_vert

[azian_advanced]

if it were i, i'd put the body at first priority so i'd get curren tails (seeing that you'd need to replace yours anyway),
then get curren rear lip with oem sides and oem front splitters and get the entire car fixed and painted afterwards so you only pay once to get the things painted. leave the car emblem-less.

springs can be added later since they're cheap and only take a few of hours to install.
rims are ok i guess, but should be upgraded later when funds are sufficient. then i'd leave it at that until i save enough for a swap.

Curren tails, Black 18's keep the car white. And drop it with some Tein's then turbo it.

I was thinking about going green. But not sure, yet.

[ThAixGuYx2k7]

white makes the car stand out more IMO. I Think curren tails or tint them out. And everything else like AzianAdvanced said Good luck!

White's not working for me, I live down a dirt road and no matter how often I wash it, it still turns black in .42865834 seconds

[6th_celi_vert]

i think a lip kit and drop, with a set of wheels. That would be clean, simple, and hot like fire.

[vincent_doggy]

As you gonna repaint it anyway...

I suggest to throw a 96+ bumper with whatever front lips, magic lips or ssIII front splitters.

[95CelicaST]

I'm sure you know, but first fix the damage and replace the tail light. Maybe sell the stock set and have that money go towards a set of Curren lights. Next, I would lower it. Most people go with TEIN S-Tech's and a new set of KYB GR-2 shocks and struts. Go pick out a nice muffler that you like and bring it to an exhaust shop and have them fab up some piping.. or buy the Greddy SP2 system. Extensions in front and back and a set of OEM skirts.

[CelicaChick95]

Ok....
So here's the plan, Tinting my tails, also I am thinking of putting some sort of body kit (sides for sure and maybe a rear lip and front splitters) on it. And either keeping it white or going silver. then adding some springs, then new rims, hopefully the some exhaust, then I want to do some sort of swap and turbo charge it.
Hopefully my celi can go in to the shop either this coming week or next to get the tail light replaced. And then I will go from there

Sides choices are down to these two (I think):
Glydez

or Invader
