It's been a while but since I got the car, I installed JDM tails (still need to take some pics of it) and custom JDM projectors and high beams!

I bought the projectors from whatthe (thanks!) but the chrome surfaces were flaking...so I decided to make the best of it and customize them. Basically I took the lights apart, and gave the chrome few coats of gloss black

I left the back chrome on the highs alone, and only painted the front chrome part, figuring that painting the back black will probably affect how the high beam works..but I'm tempted to open them up again to paint them....

tell me what you think...I'm open to criticism

thanks, what do u think about the highs?...paint it all black or ok the way it is?...looks a bit better in person though

[Mstoochn]

Sir i think it is only fair that we meet up, I live in whistler. 5s-gte vs 3s-gte

[windowlicker]

i would leave them as they are now. like you were touching on, the chrome part in the back of the highs is actually designed to direct the light. they are what are reffered to free form. my vote is to leave them as is. i think you'd be irritated at the reduced brightness of the highbeams.

speaking of which, we should organize a BC meet...I know of a few people who are interested...just need a time and place

ya that's true...it's easy to say you rarely use it..but when you do..it's better that they work properly lol

If your interested, I know the guys from the Ok valley do the annual run of the ogopogo meet. Last year they had something like 15 people, and about 3 or 4 ST205s and a few ST185s too. I know they do one end of summer, but they might do one in the spring too.

ya..i think it'd be easier to organize a lower mainland event...meet more local 6gc owners..but if the Ok valley guys want to come over to the west coast then that'd be great too

Annual Run of the Ogopogo Celica meet in August, held in Vernon/Kelowna. Should be a good one this year again.

[delusionz]

Just noticed you're missing the foglight plastics!

[delusionz]

Oh, Your GT4 Looks awesome!!!!! I love how the rear lip flows with the sideskirts, I don't know of any matching front lips other than the eurou which I think is big and hideous, perhaps try TRD front splitters for ST205? They will flow with the sideskirts and rear lip.

Nice projectors too

[Prometheus]

we should have the meet more towards spring! more sun =D

hmm interesting...i didn't notice until you pointed that out lol!...hmmm now it looks a bit bare...but at the same time looks ok haha

thanks! ya i have to agree with you, the eurou front lip seems to stick out to the front a tad too much...I could have sworn I saw someone on here with ss-iii like front splitters on their gt4...or is it just the regular thin gt4 splitters?

we should have the meet more towards spring! more sun =D

yes that sounds good...or maybe during the olympics lol!

[nammer]

newest update: painted the rims black and gave the calipers a few coats of red...some pics of the progress...

[nammer]

Finally, an update

molded Type-Z front lip added =D just got it back from the body shop
