Beautiful car Rusty, although I like more with the OEM SS-III spolier.
Good job with the air box -------------------- |

On your celica whatthe, your running 404/TRD side skirts and they flow nicely with the SS-III pieces.
I'll do my best to prove to you, I might even convince you to go for a TRD spoiler in the future. who knows  Thanks mate. The SS-III wing looks tidy, but in some angles can look too big or odd aswell & I dont want to completely look like an SS-III. If I wanted an SS-III I could just go and buy one, since NZ imported most of them. Yeah the Airbox should look great... once its finally finished  haha. well today I thought I'd test fit it to get a better understanding/opinion on how its going to look (I can say right now I wont be going wingless, as I feel the back looks too empty without some sort of wing there) Very simple to remove the old wing.        -------------------- |

Wingless will grow on you when you completely drop the rear on its ass..
The spoiler I like the most (for NA celica) is the 94-95 2post with the euro halfsize blocks The TRD is still good though, beats the hell of out a 3 post any day. 3 post is only better than veilside invader lol -------------------- Mike W

Totes' agree with delusions. IMO i think you should go wingless, or the 2post with euro risers (Y)

yup yup you definitely need a rear spoiler, especially with that huge hks exhaust hanging down really low like that. I think it looks great so far. I do agree with you rusty that the stock height of the SS-III raiser blocks are too high. That's why I'm going to cut my current replica riser blocks in half while still keeping the angle on the riser block forward.
I see that you bought you clear side indicators from here, they look good http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksi...-All-Categories whats the update on your intake box???

thanks Bonzai
I bought mine here in NZ, but they could be the same ones. the rubber seal around the housing is cracking and the clear part is turning back to amber so I'm going to buy some clear Toyota ones to replace.Not a lot really, just trying to find some aluminium pipe, so I can put on the lathe to make fittings for my vacuum lines. -------------------- |

I dislike spoilerless as well, makes the Celica look like a hamburger. I think your car looks really good with the TRD wing.

I think YOU do look like a hamburger! But yeah, to each is own. I think it depends on the setup actually. I think this one is just sweet: Anyways, just wanted to gongrats Rusty for his great job.
