No way! How far away were you, don't really remember the lineup haha. Got any pics?
 Poking my wheels out, as far as I can. Extended studs are just pricey though

Oh I get it now. I had poke on my last car. Turns out M3 rear wheels don't fit on a '00 318 coupe. I did everything I could cutting and filing etc., short of flaring the wheel arches. Still the wheels wouldn't fit. It was a very dispiriting experience. Looked great though.

Dude that car looks awesome. You've convinced me to change a few things on mine ie the front fogs removed and the projectors with the chrome indicators.
Looks absolutely amazing  It's been a pleasure reading this thread and some epic pics too |

No carbon fibre hatch
or laser beam. I was going to mount a yoshi on the and have him rotate but that's not it. Haha. Te celica light, there's a tutorial on here somewhere, you just open up the housing and slip a bit I printed paper in there. That's white text on a black background cut out to fit inside

I second that method, it works well. Just annoying to get it perfectly aligned.

Yeah takes quite a while. I might look into it again and make a printable template to use for everyone.

So:
 Buckled my rim. Doing about 80km/h hit a hammer on the road. Think it's fixable, or be safe and buy a new one. Or be safer and buy 2 new 9" for the front

Turned out my rim had a 20cm or so crack in it. So its getting repaired, but i'll keep it as a spare. Feel uneasy using it as a daily.
So, a new wheel has been bought. Stuck with 18x8 though. i didnt have the spare $700 to put 9's up there. -------------------- |

Regarding my thread on wheel spacer bolts, turned out that I had a good 10mm or so of neg camber. Fixed that up
