Ok, I just did these up real quick. All I played with was the color curve and contrast/brightness using Photoshop CS. I'm happy with them:

Haha nice indeed. Almost makes me want to get back into Celicas, almost.
PS, the pics looked better before you shopped them. Your contrast changes seem to have degraded the quality and 'pop' of the originals. Just a comment. -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.

Looking really good! I'm actually in St. Louis all weekend. If I could find some free time, I'd head over to Collinsville and track you down and see this thing in person.

You have GOT to be kidding me. Took a small boulder on the freeway today. Got lucky, only nicked the underside/outside edge at the back of the front right splitter. It's not bad, but noticeable. Gotta call the paint guy and see if he has some pre-mix left to touch it up with.
And..... Got a bird bomb etching on the dang hood already today. I can't win. -------------------- |

I'm just having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the car is in reality, a driver still. It's not perfect and never will be but this is about as close as it gets and I hate to see ANYTHING ruin it.
On a positive note, I just ordered a 10 pack of 5LED Matrix bulbs off of the auction site. Going to do the gauges, and see if I can't fit them in the side marker housings in the Projector Lows. Ordering new brake pads this week which means that hopefully I'll be stripping the calipers down soon for a custom matching powdercoating with the rotor hats done in flat black to keep them looking better. Next after that will be shocks for sure. Probably just some cheapies (ST, Monroe) for the time being until the budget will allow Coil Overs. -------------------- |

Yeah, It sounds like you have just put as much money into that car than it is worth retail, and prolly nervous about driving it almost daily. Could you just make it a weekend driver, or "show car"? Since you are trying to make it magazine worthy, seems like you are almost there.
