not sure about the blue emblem, or the toyota logo on the gas lid, but it is a clean looking car. nice taste of mods overall!

[nics]

nice clean car bud!!

but, vvti sticker has to go..

[cheela]

yes, vvti sticker must go

[D-Man]

vvti

2.2? Thanks for specifying. We wouldn't have known the GT had that displacement. Flex Fuel and VVTi? Get the **** outta here.

Remove the stupid emblems, and that hideous Toyota sticker on the gas tank and your car will look awesome.

[enderswift]

^ I agree with what they said. those stickers might impress someone who doesn't know anything about cars but everyone else will just roll their eyes. I dont think you want to be on the receiving end of that exchange.

Other than that its a very nice looking car! silver is one of the best colors on a celica imho.

just please restrain yourself from slamming it, hella-flushing it, or any other of those gimmicky things people do with their cars.

YEA ITS WEIRD AND STUPID BUT ITS ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE IT IS SO BORING AND U JUST WANT TO DO SOMETHING...SO WHY NOT MESS AROUND WITH YOUR CAR....PAINT VALVE COVER, TOYOTA SIGNS,DO WEIRD STUFF..OR MAKE PEOPLE GET CONFUSE BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THIS IS A CELICA IF NOT FOR THE EMBLEMS AND STUFF...ETC.....Y NOT GUYS..LOL

[Spider77]

Here is where I would comment about how slapping a vvti/flexfuel sticker on the cover is well....whatever. Its your Celica so do whatever makes you happy I guess. And who cares that they dont know its a Celica, let the ones that dont know guess and the ones that do know appreciate it.

[manphibian]

You guys can be such dicks, the guy is proud of his car and all you do is rip on him.

few people are close to disappearing for a while

I think it looks great man, better than 90% of the cars on here!

[nics]

^^i agree, his car is 100x cleaner than mine, but vvti sticker takes away the integrity

That paint job looks good people always tell me to stay away from maaco but I guess it just depends on where you go did you prep it yourself or had them do it ??

yea alot of people told me not to go to Macco because they do a ****ty job, but u never know before you try it. So I prep the car and sanded my car as much as I can with just my hands(no power tools were used), i think i did a bomb as job(Macco says it too during the estimate). I wanted to stick with silver color, but a much more darker silver of the OEM Silver. So I went with the 1 year warranty paint job($250). It cost me $390 out the door because my car was pretty much dent free.(I also had a discount too that's why). They took only 3 days to finish my car. It was nice and smooth with no over spray and only minor orange peels. I was satisfied.

[cheela]

can't tell the difference if it was maaco or not. nice job.

[ILoveMySilly97]

HEY! That's my car! Lol. Finally found the previous owner on here. I guess we both had different plans for the car. Haha.

[richee3]

I forgot about the Flex Fuel emblem. I remember this thread and I remember intentionally staying out of it. You know the old adage, if you don't have anything nice to say.... Glad to see this car is in better hands now.

[ILoveMySilly97]

True that. First thing on my head when I bought the car was to remove all the pointless decals. Especially that flex fuel. LOL!
