good luck man!

Pandelica 2.0 in progress.
pioneer headunit nice choice...what model?
Good lookin mod! I just got the reverse gages instead, I couldn't ever seem to find any LED's or anything to go behind it, and the gages were pretty cheap so I got those instead.

But around the heat/cold knob , where did you find that silver piece? It looks good! Keep us updated!

i got it from ebay for like 4 bucks. it's just a sticker. the only thing is unless you have LEDs in the climate control unit it's really dark at night.
the blue LEDs are just in there for now. i plan on getting some white face glow gauges from speedhut in a few months. if i were to do it again though i woulda just got super white polarg bulbs cuz mine go out from time to time and i'm not sure why either.

thanks for the positive feedback everyone. any suggestions?

i plan on painting the interior pieces silver soon i just need to take the time to pull it all out and get it done.
my next big thing is some new rims though. i just can't decided which ones to get.
what do you guys think?

edit: i chose E none of the above and got some 7th gen gt-s rims smile.gif

i like d but i would like them more if they were bronze not gold.

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
Id vote for A. Five spokes look super hot on celicas! BTW good to see my turns looking great! keep up the good work.

B or D... nice mods, i just upgraded to type r components too
C or A.
The LEDs may burn out because of insufficient current-limiting resistor (if used any?)
well, I would say a or d.

Used to be a fan of b and c but it was overdone around where I live.


Read your profile and it seems like you got some good ideas heading towards your celi.

My suggestion would be to clean up the engine bay. Don't go ballistic on painting things in there either, just the valve cover wink.gif

And mabey re-upholster the seats/ or buy some aftermarket ones. None of these suggestions are anything you need but just thought i'd...suggest tongue.gif !

Looks good! Get them parts installed!

CLOSED on 25 acres!-shop coming soon....
I think A - personally, I hate gold, I know that's just a matter of taste though. I kinda think gold rims are just too trendy, like those nasty-ass spinning rims you see on hoopdees and Escalades. It just dates the car, IMO. I myself like the clean and classic platinum look.

Plus, platinum is worth more than gold! wink.gif

Just like my wife, hates gold, loves silver...

Hey David lookin' good! A word of advice - make sure that the lip gets primed really well and also an extra thick layer of clear coat on top. Because of where it is it will get hit by a LOT of stones and crap. The guy who painted mine did a dodgy job and now all of the paint is chipping off really badly. mad.gif You get what you pay for!

Personally I'd love wheel D the best if it was silver. So failing that I say wheel B.

Good luck!

oh it's available in silver too. i think it would look really nice in bronze though. i personally don't really like the gold color on that particular rim in the pic. thanks for the tip on the lip. one day my car exterior will be done (i hope frown.gif )
