I can dig the kit, the wing needs to go. Wheel spacers would look nice. With wing: B-, without wing, A-.
Oh and:

No-Way. KEEP THE WING!!
it's what you like, that's why you have it, right? I get **** about my wing all day long; but never lissen.  It's your car, and your customizing it to YOUR taste. Thats what makes it Your Car  Personaly, i think it looks really good. Has a sweet flow to it; almost fluid. Keep up the good work. Cant wait to see whats next

The rear is a bit extreme for me(but then I'm 52) LOL.....I'd go for the TRD wing if it was me
With a full body kit like that, I'd recommend you change the rear lights for JDM''s and maybe remove the amber insert for full effect. The large orange a bit doesn't fit with the overall updated look. I'd also suggest changing the front indicators to clear as the orange look a bit out of place....only MHO Otherwise, from the photos, a commendable job I reckon. Here's a couple pics from Kenny in Sweden with my clear fronts, before and after......   -------------------- Has your car ever been on T.V? Mine was used in the opening sequences here - note the clear turns and front LED's

Pretty much what Wolfie said...look into JDM tails and clear turn signals. Other than those, it's looking really clean, nice work!

it took me 6 months from getting the car finishing it. i work 6 days a week so had to squeeze it all in. first time i had every painted a car. wasn't so sure about spoiler when bought it but spent 200 quid on it so it had to go on. couldn't get clear indicators for mine as mine is a pre 96 celica with earlier bumper, but no one in the uk i know sells them so any help would be appreciated. jdm lights are just standard ones but dark in colour aren't they.

PLEASE look at D-Man's car, particularly his wing, before you take his advice on that. D-Man's wing is just about the ugliest POS I have ever seen in my life. (just givin' ya a hard time there, D-Man... whatever floats yer boat. It's your shopping cart handle.
)I fully concur with the JDM tails and clear indicators. I think it would make for a more cohesive look. --------------------  |

Hi there, If you want clear front indicators, the reason you haven't found them is because I'm the only person that makes them for the pre face lift bumper QUOTE I fully concur with the JDM tails and clear indicators. I think it would make for a more cohesive look. Nice one Griffgirl.....cohesive - excellent description. Style - one instinctively knows when something is right This is the first car ever fitted with them....   -------------------- Has your car ever been on T.V?

man, ya'll quit doggin his spoiler, go dogg mine instead. It's easyer.
Dude, Dont lissen to them, take the advice you want, get the parts you want. Customization is about transforming your car into YOUR car. GRIFF; your like my B47 Wing? Your going to love how my tail-lights come out (just think, its not even going to be a toyota's conversion )
