I need some ideas - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #42136 65 posts Started by CelicaChick95
Ok so my car is going to be disbled for a few days while it gets some body work done and I am thinking about doing a little more than just fixing what needs to be fixed wink.gif and changing the color, but I'm not so sure what would look good. I would just like some oppinions on if i should add like a body kit or just leave it stock. Or what looks good and doesn't look good. And what color or any other suggestion you think would be something good to do. Here are some pictures of my car as of 10 minutes ago.

those bbs rim in my opinion are fudgin ugly..i have never liked them and i dont think many people do...
so yeah get some new rims..some that you like..and springs are your personal option too..but rims and lower look super hot on our cars.. i dont know you budget.. but if you dont get rims still get some lowering springs.. i wish i would have done that before i got my rims..cuz now my car looks like a truck with my 18s

I was planning on lowering it, not sure how much i should though. As for my budget; it's pretty good, I'm about to graduate high school; so i'll have a ton of money coming in and my 18th bday is right around the corner biggrin.gif so, i'm in the mood to fix my car up and make it quick. wink.gif
want to make it quick??? turbo it screw all other things i said untill you have a turbo on it...

I plan on it, it's deff like number 2 on my list. I have to get my tail light and some body work done before that beast can go in. I keep getting pulled over because white light shows out of my tail.

curren tails!

I just bought stock tails that I was thinking about tinting from 6th_celi_vert
if it were i, i'd put the body at first priority so i'd get curren tails (seeing that you'd need to replace yours anyway),
then get curren rear lip with oem sides and oem front splitters and get the entire car fixed and painted afterwards so you only pay once to get the things painted. leave the car emblem-less.

springs can be added later since they're cheap and only take a few of hours to install.
rims are ok i guess, but should be upgraded later when funds are sufficient. then i'd leave it at that until i save enough for a swap.

Curren tails, Black 18's keep the car white. And drop it with some Tein's then turbo it.

I was thinking about going green. But not sure, yet.
white makes the car stand out more IMO. I Think curren tails or tint them out. And everything else like AzianAdvanced said biggrin.gif tongue.gif Good luck!

White's not working for me, I live down a dirt road and no matter how often I wash it, it still turns black in .42865834 seconds frown.gif tongue.gif

i think a lip kit and drop, with a set of wheels. That would be clean, simple, and hot like fire.

Cuz Thats How Us Country Boyz RollGrowing up racing motocross, i learned one thing..."Always wear clean underwear, you never know when the Paramedics are gonna have to cut your pants off of you"
>>>>>>As you gonna repaint it anyway...

I suggest to throw a 96+ bumper with whatever front lips, magic lips or ssIII front splitters.>

I'm sure you know, but first fix the damage and replace the tail light. Maybe sell the stock set and have that money go towards a set of Curren lights. Next, I would lower it. Most people go with TEIN S-Tech's and a new set of KYB GR-2 shocks and struts. Go pick out a nice muffler that you like and bring it to an exhaust shop and have them fab up some piping.. or buy the Greddy SP2 system. Extensions in front and back and a set of OEM skirts.

Ok....
So here's the plan, Tinting my tails, also I am thinking of putting some sort of body kit (sides for sure and maybe a rear lip and front splitters) on it. And either keeping it white or going silver. tongue.gif then adding some springs, then new rims, hopefully the some exhaust, then I want to do some sort of swap and turbo charge it.
Hopefully my celi can go in to the shop either this coming week or next to get the tail light replaced. And then I will go from there biggrin.gif

Sides choices are down to these two (I think):
Glydez

or Invader

enjoy ticketless cruises now. biggrin.gif

yeah first thing is fix that tail and the color is your choice whatever color u like, bodykit will look nice and drop it

IT DON'T PLAY!
Springs then body kit, or body kit then springs, that is the question.

I think I am going to get some springs this week and lower my beast!
Springs before kit, You got the good idea of your mods. Just drop it then kit it. Get some black rims with polished lip.
those sides (blue ones) are stock for 96+ i believe.

Of course the year after my car came out laugh.gif just my luck. I'm still debating if i should get them or not.
Just remember she has a vert, so she has those different skirts... If i were you, i would seriously go with Curren tails, the stock tails are ugly. These tails look amazing with white cars, and would add alot. Secondly if you reallly wanna paint your car, i would go ahead and "upgrade" to the 96+ bumper... I would get some nice rims, pending the color you paint it, a black rim will look sick with your black top and currens. I would go search under members section and look at some different convertibles to see diff colors and diff bodykits... you will see some pretty cool stuff.

I am now a part of the ihavemorethen16gc club!
i think you need some currens, i jsut got some, and they really do make the car look a heck of a lot nicer

any ideas on what body kit would look the best, maybe ordering on this week
