i want a gt4 bumperr

Just a little update, I just bought something cool, and in the beginning of January, I will be getting something of equal or greater coolness as the cool thing I just bought.

Holy **** guy, a GT-4 bumper for under 200 with fogs AND a TRD license plate? Deal of the century there. Get that sucker painted.

>
I will get it painted when I have my car painted, i wanted to install it when it came, but then it snowed... and my work space at the moment is my driveway. so I have it sitting up high in my bedroom for all (me) to see

I like the colour of your car :3

>
thank you

>

lemme take a guess, GT4 hood?

>
psh I wish. I bought a GT-4 rear strut bar, and I will be buying the 3 post steering wheel off of sanders81 99' celica

isnt he selling that thing for $250? i thought it said that on his photobucket lmao

>
$350

'98-'99 steering wheel for $350? Er.... You can get a very nice leather wrapped steering wheel from a newer Celica or Rav4 for that. And even then, you're still overpaying. I'd advise you to keep searching if you want a better steering wheel. You can get one for much cheaper.

>
but isn't the 98-99 a direct bolt on and plug in? (for cruise and airbag) I'm paying more for the convenience factor.

i found custom steering wheel today volanti whit great leather and all the hub for 100$ cad

>
id rather stay oem

im gonna buy the kouki jdm tail light next week, do you know how much i should pay?

>
I would say for used, anything around $170-$180 shipped would be a fair price. im not sure though.

he have one pair here in mtl, i just have to go get it, i will offer 100$ max and let u know

that's bullsh!t just for a steering wheel, seriously. I paid about $105 shipped for my non-airbag JDM 3 spoke steering wheel which came from Cyprus.
you could use most of that money towards something else.

and btw, the steering wheel i got was newly wrapped with leather.

>
sure without airbag. that is something that i would feel better having with my driving style. i know its a bit much for it. but i dont see oem 98'-99' that look this nice too often. so i think paying a little extra isn't much of a big deal.

>
I found one for $90 on Ebay. Who needs cruise control and airbags when you have a sweet looking JDM steering wheel? It's JDM, you know.

screw airbags! haha they just mess up your windshield when you get into an accident
as for the cruise control, i took my switch apart, learned what connections went where and how they worked, and wired up my own set of buttons on the dash plastic

again, I would like to stay as OEM looking as possible which is why im sticking with the 99' wheel over the JDM one, and having a broken windshield is a small price to pay for saving my life. I know the pros and cons people bring up about them, but then I look at my dads accident 6ish years back, and he wouldn't have lived without it. (no fault of his own, dump truck ran a red and plowed into him)

EDIT: I would also like to add that I have no problem with the look of them, nor do I not want you to get them for your cars. Its just not "me" in my opinion. ^not trying to sound like a jerk or anything.

I can understand your concern about that, but there are JDM steering wheels with airbags that are cheaper, JDM is still OEM. it might not be to us in the US, but it is to everyone over there haha
hell, you could find a 7th gen, rav4, mr2, etc wheel that will go right on. if you get a 7th gen wheel with the clock spring there shouldnt be any mods to do on it.

IMO $350 for a steering wheel is not worth it, I would just stick to the one I had.

If you really think about it, is it really worth $350 just for a steering wheel that has one less spoke and looks a little better?

yes

lmao

lol , i think its a jdm he got , im not sure, but its llook great, i will ask him for 80 $ lol

ok, screw my list on page one.. here is a new rout to go with my car that I want to follow.

-first, install all the stuff I already bought (GT-4 bumper, hood struts, GT-4 rear strut bar, etc)
------stuff to buy--------
-3-post steering wheel
-GT-4 hood
-DCW duckbill spoiler (molded on, also have my stock side skirts molded as well)
-DCW SSIII rear splitters
-DCW gauge pods
-volt, oil pressure, oil temp gauges
-new speakers all around
-Megan Coilovers
-Vincent's seat covers
-Vincent's leather arm rest cover
-Vincent's door card insert thing
-change all lighting in the car to blue (gauge cluster, dash)
-new carpeting (mine is worn out and has holes in it..)
-PAINT after I get the hood and have the engine work done. (don't want to run the risk of it getting scratched while the swap takes place)

-----ENGINE/TRANS-----
This is where it gets good. I am going to have a 1MZFE or a 3MZFE v6 engine and the E-153 5-speed trans swapped into my celica, after having the engine rebuilt of course, replacing all the gaskets and seals, putting forged internals in(pistons and connecting rods), maybe have the head ported. then add in about a 100 shot of nitrous for when I take it to the track, I would turbo it, and I may down the road, but for now id like to be able to keep somewhat decent gas mileage, and a little traction. (since its front wheel drive and I live in snow.. and don't fear the nitrous! having your engine properly tuned will make it 100% safe. reading some of the other forums makes it sound like a taboo or something... "NITROUS IS BAD! BOOSTING THE $#@* OUT OF YOUR ENGINE IS GOOD!" ) luckily I live at least in the same state as the shop that did snapshotgt's V6 swap, so id probably use them, since they seem to know what they were doing.

If I have any luck, the company that I have been working for as a temp for the last 9 months will hire me. if they do, I will then get a rather large pay increase (go from 8.50/hr to 14-20/hr), and be able to work overtime (time and a half). so i would be making at minimum $800 dollars a week of spending money. (after taxes and gas) so everything on this list, if I get this job, will be DONE by early to mid summer of 2011.
