Post a picture of your TOM`S racing pedals. Ps, I can rig up a blue ignition ring for you if you want, I have 2 spare clear rings, Toyota stopped putting them in Celicas after 1995, What I did was take a splice from the cigarette lighter power and run some wire through the dash plastics.

[Rusty]

notice all 4 (clutch brake accelerator & foot rest)

I dunno I might just put a new bulb in (since its not working at the moment)

[delusionz]

I think your ignition ring plastic might be black with no transparent bit....

Here's the difference, 1996 on the left, 1995 on the right:


PS. When I looked at my pedals closer it had some stupid chinese on the top and levin(???????) on the bottom, definitely not TOM`S ... Eww.

[delusionz]

[Rusty]

yup rear splitters and side skirts

[gt_driFFter]

Did you order those splitters pre-painted or something? Projectors are the best exterior mod someone can do!
