My Celica over the years(PAINTED!!!), some pix Options

[Phat_99CeliGT]

Well, i figured i would post what my car started out as, and then thru the years to now.

I bought My 99 Celica GT back in May of 01 for close to $20k fully loaded w/o leather with only 20k miles.
After a couple weeks i added tint, eye browl, and a muffler.


After that i got my rims and some Weapon R coilovers. also while the car was in the shop getting a dent removed, i had the antenna and wing shaved.


A while after that it was time for something new, so i got some vinyal from Modern Image.


The vinyal got to be too much, so i took it off and got an aluminum wing and made my first set of clear taillights.



A while later it was time for some new vinyal.
Back to Modern Image i go. this time for something not as big.


getting to last year, i finally got the money to get a lip kit, wing and a custom hood.


Closer to the end of last year, i got an air ride kit from blowJax.



NOW!!!
New body kit and rims.
New paint is comming REAL soon
these r the last pics of what my Celica looked like.

As soon as i get the car back, ill bring this back to the top with the new pics.

it's scary when you start to think of how much money u've put into your car. I just hit 4k

[Phat_99CeliGT]

after i added eveything up, im getting close to $17k

i hate adding it up cause afterwards u find out u could have gotten an Evo instead.

i think your should have stayed with this look....

[Akimbo]

you have two days.

[Phat_Boi]

You need NAWZ Phat

Love the way your ride is coming along, looks very nice, hopefully if I can find a decent GT 5 speed around here I can have another Celica to mod along with my GS-T.

[Defgeph]

this was also my favorite version of the car ^

[tim86]

are you going wingless with your new setup? cant wait to see the pics

[Magic]

OHHH MAN!!!
Your car went through HELL!!!!!So many changes!!!!
I agree with the other guys,you should stay with the style that you just install the custom hood i like very much that look,not so extreme and WILD:)
Any thoughts getting back to that style again?

[macavely]

damn.. nice pic time line...

[jojobombiest]

You would have saved a lot of money if you had just knew what you were going for in the very beginning and stuck with it, instead of getting 3 different wings and different body kits and the 2 vinyal things...but it all seemed to turn out good in the end

[Phat_99CeliGT]

I kept the hood and wing. I really didn't want to, but everyone loves how they look on the car so ill prolly keep them.


if i were to add up all the different stuff over the years:
5 different CD players (paid no less then $200 for each of them)
4 different sets of rims
3 different lowering setups
3 system setups
2 paint jobs (going into 3 paint jobs)
2 body kits
1 wing
1 hood
JDM headlights and tails(all know is alot of money)


i went thru all the changes cause i didn't really know what i wanted.
i liked the lip kit cause it made the car. looked almost stock.
now i got a job im wanting to go all out and wild for this year.
next year ill prolly change something.
i can't stop modding.

You've gone through all those changes in 3 years? Are you bi-polar? Looks good though, I'd like to see it with the new paint on it. I'm lovin the air shocks. What did that run you?

[Hanyo]

performance mods?

[Phat_99CeliGT]

the air ride ran me close to $3k installed.

performance is just a header, 2.5" catback and a CAI.
later i might just bolt on a turbo or get a 65 shot of Zex.

[tysO]

i like that look the best too especially with the JDM tails and projectors in! your car would've been so sweet! but im sure it'll look just fine in a few weeks!

[KAMiX]

How the hell did you manage to pay for all that before you got a job? I am struggling to get mine to where I want it and I've worked my ass off for the last year!

I think you have got it right now with the final version though. Are you gonna go that same candy apple red?

[Phat_99CeliGT]

i worked b4 i got my new job.
in my off time i buy cheap cars, fix them up and sell for under book value.

to get the lip kit, wing, hood and paint work, i bought a car for $800 installed a new turbo and added some aftermarket and turned around and sold it for $2800.

its gonan be a new color.
no more red
gonna be my other favorite color.
