You're lucky, making me thinking about doing the same thing. I've got rust up the whozaa. Where are you going to get painted? I'd do a gt four conversion though.

[slvr_celica_GT_8...]

If you plan to keep the car forever than go ahead with the mods, but if your just gonna do it to make it look cool than take my word for it and use the money on something else.

I would think really hard at least twice before you go out and dish it on chrome rims or body kits. In the long run you might actually need the money to make the car run better and not look better.

If I could go back in time I would have just bought an IS300 vs modding my cars and having them all crap out on me.

Now where's the fun in that? There's nothing better than breaking down at 2am! Then having to push your car a couple miles! Lol.

Go for it dude, but definitely take heed to what soulshadow says, as great as our cars can look, they're no good if they don't run well! Good luck man, it'll be sweet when it's done! I wish I knew someone in the paint business, I'm really leary about getting mine done b/c of all the horror stories that I've heard! Don't forget to post up pics!

don't take loans do do stuff on your car...with interest you end up paying more than you would when you buy stuff on the spot, cash in hand.

You'll still be paying in month and months from now for the nice rims and tires you had, and when the need for new tires come, you'll still be paying for the bald ones.

I did my GT-FOUR conversion/paint/all audio stuff with my master card and paying 40$ a month of interest on the whole thing..all that stuff been made 6 months ago, do a quick math and realize how many of my money is going to the bank lol... The big difference is I work and don't need a co-signer, I made the decision.. if you need a co-signer, it just means you should't do it.
