I'm shopping for an extra 5s 5speed if you got one.
the quick mod list sounds good. Don't forget SRI - do forget CAI [Waste of time].
And yes - 3S-GTE is what you crave

no a cai is perfectly fine....wat about rims?

[97Celica]

Killer job - I never would have guessed. Wanna paint my new splitters for me? J/P but got any tips for me - PM me so we keep this thread clean and focused on your ride.

It's all good.We can talk about his paint and his car.....We used primer,duplicolor car paint and clear coat...and lots of unprinted newspaper with painter's tape.


The key is 10 minutes between a few light coats followed by 1-2 medium coats separated by 30 minutes and then clear coating. We started with the sideskirts which kinda look like caca,then we did the fender...while it was on the car...which was a mistake,but,we took our time with the bumper and it looks the best.

The key is sweeping and overlap. that's where the unprinted newspaper comes in...you pretend it's part of the car and continue spraying on it and don't stop spraying.Then you start spraying on the newspaper and continue to paint like you'd spray anything.

[97LIMITED]

THANKS. i think both of us sent you something....ooopppppssss
