New Member with a couple of questions Options

[Rob_]

Hi everybody!

I'm a new member here from the UK and just got a 98 Gen 6 It came completely stock as it's only an ST with no spoiler or alloys

I've bought a spoiler for it off ebay, but it looks different to most as it has a third brake light and no central support. tbh it reminds me of a MR2 spoiler, but it lines up and no doubt will fit fine.

I'm also thinking about alloys but don't know what to get. Possibly something with dual spokes like this but possiby in a different colour. Any opinions on that? It is a black Celica though, so I'm not sure on colour

Final question. Has anybody fitted 8" subs in the rear speaker pods? The RE8's, JBL GTO804's and Alpine's all fit and would have enough space without modifying the trim. A few pics of how you did it would be nice although I roughly have an idea of what to do.

Obligatory pic of car:

first of all welcome to the site. theres alot of information here and most everyone is willing to answer your questions/help you if they can.

Thanks for the welcome!

I understand that there's lots on the site. I don't really want to be spoon fed either.

I've already seen the walk-through for changing the rear speakers. My plan is to replace the current speaker mounts with some MDF and build a box on to that. For the subs I only need 0.3cu ft so a 6.5" deep box is fine.

yeah i hear yah on that. nobody wants to be spoon fed with their ride lol. we all want to do things ourselves and learn but sometimes being spoon fed saves alot of stress. but then again whats modding a car without stress lol

Welcome!

I especialy love the CELICA printed on the side

As for subs, it's been covered MANY times, lol. I'll spare the details and just inform you of the "search" button on the top right of any page.

There you'll find atleast 5-6 W/ pics.

Enjoy~ and welcome to the family

Hmm... they're nice, but I was thinking of a blue LED/lighting theme on the inside. I could go red though.

Still, not like I can afford those until I graduate

Welcome Rob!

Car looks clean, go for Scion t.c rims they'd look great on your black car!

Nice car! Loving the graphics - did you get that done or was it already applied when you got the car? As far as alloys go, as long as they are black or the same colour as your graphics most will look great. Click on 6g Celicas Home in the top right corner then go into members rides for some ideas. Or just search for the post pics of your wheels thread.

Awesome! I'm not great with FG and wanted to keep the rear looking stock if possible, but it's good to know how much room there is to play with!

It was already there and I'm in two minds whether to pull it off or not. It hides the bottom curve up too much for me

:lol: I'd better start begging my girlfriend for money now!
