I hate your face. The splitters I want, the steering wheel I want, the tail lights, and the headlights I want. I wouldn't mind that engine either.

Great pickup, looks amazingly clean as well. biggrin.gif If you don't take care of that thing, I'm gonna have to make a side trip to the UK next time I go to Europe and shank someone in the face.

Is there a single ding on the body? The paint looks flawless. Is it original?

I only see one thing wrong with it. Yer dash is backwards.

Just kidding. Love the car. Both of your cars, actually.

Nice car, How come all the badges are moved from their normal place?

The front grille badge is lower than oem, and the spoiler badges are higher than oem lol

it also looks bizarre with a 7th gen style steering wheel (1998 wheels are slightly different to 2000 wheels) and the strut brace in the engine bay is black and the license plate garnish is full size euro... most bizarre looking ss-iii ive ever seen lol,

no1 else would really pick up on these things tho, kewl car anyways...

is it as fast as the gt4 like everyone says?

Previous owner de-badged the boot (will be buying a replacement from Toyota)
Front grill badge is in normal position (just camera angle)
Spoiler badges I think were replaced and new ones added at a later stage (looks fine IMHO)
I have a late spec original SSIII steering wheel to replace the Gen 7 one (again, think it looks fine as is, but will be replacing it tomorrow)
Don't know why strut brace is black, but does its job!
License plate surround was replaced by previous owner as a style preference, looks better IMHO

GT4 wins at speed hands down, no doubt about that!

But the SSIII is as much fun to drive as the GT4

ya I noticed the ss-III stickers on the spoiler blocks where a bit high, and I dont like the look of the 7th gen celica wheel, the red stitched steering wheel that comes with the ss-III looks much better.
