>Are all of the logos on the car adhesive? Even the Toyota emblem?
I might head down to Kragen tomorrow and get some adhesive remover and some black spraypaint for the rims.
The "TOYOTA", "CELICA", and "GT" emblems are stuck on, and can be removed by using a blow dryer to heat them up for a couple minutes and then running some fishing line or dental floss behind them. After doing this a few times they'll pop off. Heat up the leftover adhiesive and rub it off, or wipe down with some Goo Gone. The large Toyota logo that is center on the hatch lid and front bumper cannot be removed, as they will leave two holes from where they were mounted. Be aware that the paint behind them will be better than the paint on the car, so you'll want to wax it as well, or else you'll still see where the emblems were.
For painting your wheels, buy some sand paper and lightly go over the wheels (take the wheels off of the car). Then after they have been cleaned well and sanded you can spray on a couple coats of primer. Once it dries you can spray them black by spraying several light coats, letting them dry fully between each coat. Pick up some note cards as well and line the rim with them so you don't get overspray on your tires.
