ok, well i have a friend in Japan that is willing to find some hard to find parts for my celica, now the question is what could i ask him to find for me? and my budget is of about $150...anyone have any ideas of something that is virtually impossible to obtain here and is easily gotten over in Japan for our 6gcs?
let me know any ideas are welcome. Thanks --------------------  1994 GT Hatchback 1994 ST Coupe 1988 Corolla Wagon All-Trac 1999 Corvette 2008 Cobalt SS Turbo |

for $150..i dont think your gonna get too much. If i were you, i would say get a Hiro Curren style spoiler or some rear splitters for the coupe.

hmmm...well i was wondering if JDM tails for a hatch are cheaper over there since they are so readily available?
i guess i could always save up a bit more...so say i had like 250 to play with, what do you guys and gals suggest then?

lol wow hardcore. life savings on some taillights. buy some food with that money
 haha j/pok hmm...maybe a nice glowing shift knob and a set of seat belt pads? 150 isn't gonna get much. but if you can get tail lights for 150 that'd be awesome! |

Personally, since you said you don't have a job, I wouldn't be spending money on car stuff, but that's me and I don't know your situation so....

i think u shoudl offer your services to your fellow 6gcers and see what they need have your buddy grab em they pay u with a little extra so u can slowly work up the money for parts and then every one wins and our cars get even cooler
