Awesome! Great to see you're starting a thread.

Hey guys, just a quick update on my car currently since I had my crash. The front left panel has been replaced and the left rear panel has been pulled out (still needs to be painted). A new left low beam headlight has been installed, as well as some new clear side indicators! I have also picked up the spoiler and side skirts and should be doing the side skirts at left in the next month or so and the spoiler when i have rear splitters on etc. (It's a bigger job due to my car being post facelift, therefore 3 post spoiler). Anyway guys here are so before and after pictures, I think its a really good job

You did a pretty good job on that guard rail
![]() See if you can get a package deal for the left rear paint, hatch paint, side skirts and splitters and then all the new paint will match itself. If its too expensive white isn't too hard to spray yourself on smaller pieces. The courier just picked up your SSIII rear splitters, delivery in 2-3 business days. I paid for the additional redelivery too in case you miss the truck. Also, the invoice came through from Japan last night for the TRD strut bar - you should have it by next Wednesday ![]() Thought about a certain white TOMS front lip? ![]() -------------------- ![]() SOLD :( 1997 ST204 Celica ZR -----> See it here on 6GC! 2013 October Celica of the Month XD Now: '00 NB8B Mazda MX5 -----> See it here in off topic! |

Yeah I think it was a really good job, the left front guard was from the wreckers and was already white!

It takes less than 5 min to install... go do it now!
