Here u go bro, this is a how-to that I made, I hope it helps out. As far as a difference there really itsnt much except that now my interior matches. Instead of all black panels and a grey headliner (factory) now my whole interior is black excpet the visors which I will do a some time down the road.

Just my opinion...your car would be really hot without the wing. The wing is just overkill 2fast2furious...But without it would look sleek and clean.
Oem ftw. Trd wing or the gt-4 wing would look great. But it still a sexy looking celica smile.gif
I agree, deff change that wing

Ive actually been thinking about going for the Gt4 spoiler with carbonfiber risers. I wanna get the cf raisers to compliment the cf splitter. Especially since its the only cf piece outside the car, lol
Plus after I do the motor swap this winter Im gonna get all the body work fixed n get it repained. Thats when I'll change out the spoilers as well.

Thanks for the opinion and thoughts guys. I will post more pics up as soon as I can. But feel free to give me any kind of advise, opinions, or anything thing else. Postive or negative.

Here's the lastest update. Build is going extremly slow due to funds, but still progressing.

I got bored of seeing my center consul without a lighter, felt like something was missing. After installing the fuel pressure and boost gauge last week, I thought Id keep the volt meter gauge for the audio system.







Tomorrow I will have to go back thru and clean up around the gauge and smooth out the wrinkles.

Solved the drive-thru problem yet?? laugh.gif


FORGET ALL YOU GUYS SAYING CHANGE THE WING!!!!

With or without it the car is a step up on what yours is, **** i'd trade my car with ALL my TRD goodies for this car

I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
Thanks 808,

The only solution I have found for the drive thru is to park and eat inside, lol.

Latest update:

To all my friends here on 6gc that have been with me since the beginning, I can finally give u an update that even I am having trouble coming to terms with.

Its been a years since I left Japan and the Marine Corps. do to this and other factors, the build has slowed down quite a bit. But I can now say with the ut most excitement that this winter will mark the offical starting point of the legendary 3sgte swap in my st202. I have been offered a job as a mechanic for a well known oil rigging company known as Schlumberger in Alice Texas which Im excited to begin working for. It will be this job along with my Army Reserves that wil help me to finally achieve my goal of doing this swap.

I will keep u updated as the project takes flight.

Stay tuned.

Update 24/11/2011:
After years of emptiness I finally thought it was time for a small change. Installed new Pilot fogs that I picked up at autozone.




More updates will be coming and at a fast pace so stay tuned.

Car looks great joe! I really like the way the wing looks on the car, it flows well and doesnt look ricey and bad like most big wings like that..Keep it up! Idk about blue fogs though, i would get some that match the projectors.

its not matching, but its doesnt look bad, its look clean !!
but matching the colour would have been great
your car looks soon nice
like the fog lights even if they don't match they seen to fit the bumper well enough

Went ahead and decide to scratch the Hiro spoiler idea, and go with the two post spoiler and cf risers. I will be ordering them in two weeks, car should be up, running, and legally on the streets buy this summer before I vacate to Japan. will keep u updated as soon as I can with pics and more.

UPDATE 4/3/12

Well he build is on hold for the time being, I figured since she is at a good stopping point Id go ahead and help SexciCelicaChikk with her project as much as I can. Once we get hers to a good stopping point its back to the Samurai.
