i like that youre really enthusiastic about your car. but in my opinion i think you should go for a stock front bumper and stock fenders. itll totally clean up the look of your car and make it look A LOT better..your car right now just reminds me of a snake cause the fenders look like scales and the front bumper looks like it has fangs..lol but that's just my opinion. not like it matters. lol

ok, it been awhile sence i have posted on here, i have done a few little things here and there to the car, nothing major. but over all.....im frustrated., beyand belief. i have been now trying to find a stock bumper and fenders, and its impossible. i have searched all the junk yards, online, pritty much everywhere, and nothing!(orelse they want way to much for it) its gotten to the point where i want to just take my front end off say heck with the police and drive the car with no front end. i have a friend with a stock front end but he wont come through and make the deal i asked him, so its been about 2 months now and no luck..... F#@$%K!!!

went home, change to my summer rims and tires. got to the pas. side front, and noticed a sh**t ton of greese everywhere. boot was ripped to shreds. hub was shot for a while now. and labor at the dealership is crazy! i would have done it myself but when you a mechanic you sometimes just dont want to work on your own car lol.

WOW!?!?! I thought you were going to UTI or something? How come you didn't repair? I just did my bearing and hub and got those for about the same price as you but $0 labor, the work is really easy...

One of the biggest problems with paying for labor is that they go by a manual. If the manual says a job will take 5 hours, you're going to pay for 5 hours of labor even if they get the job done in 1 hour. But if the job takes one second more than 5 hours, they won't hesitate to charge you for it. Replacing all of those things is pretty easy, but I don't blame you for taking it to the dealership. I'm at the point where I don't care to work on my project Celica but if it's my DD, I just take it to somebody and let them fix it just to get it over with.

i have been waiting to post this for awhile now.. MY CAR NO LONGER LOOKS LIKE A FISH/SNAKE/WEIRD ANIMAL. its finally a celica again!!!!
woooo!!
i went on a shopping spree with no money and actually got alot of stuff.

new parts.
*jdm tails!!
*yellow jdm fogs
*oem bumper
*oem fenders
*headlight rubbers
*new painted metalic black strut bar
*painted the rear under side of car gloss black
*drilled and slotted rotors+pads ( in the mail, should be here within the week)
*painted the wing raisers gloss black with a gloss clear coat.

note.. the bumper and fenders where painted by me in a hotel bathroom, so yes i know they dont match in some angles of the daylight but lets just say i think i took a few years off my life by painting them in a bathroom in my place. (oh well looks alot better than the weird front end that was on it!)
(pics of the parts i had replaced when my cv boot blew)
