So I have been on these forums a little while, but have never really posted that much. I always come here and check out the pictures that people post in this section, and I must say there is some really clean stuff on here. I know my car does not compare at all to some of these rides, but here is my car and what little mods have been done to it since I have gotten the car.

I know that not everyone will like it, but hey you can't please everyone. If I could go back and re-do some mods it would definitely include lowering the car lower than what it is now, and not putting on the headlight vinyls and just painting the inside of the assembly mself. But as for now it is my college beater while I am at Mercer finishing up my Engineering degree so not too much will be done to it over the next year or two.

But enough of that and I doubt that half of you will even read what is above this line... here are some pictures of my Celica. Try not to hate on my poor photo skills too much.

Ha that is funny that everyone on here says that the car looks weird without the factory wing or spoiler. Because the general census on Celica forums is wingless or bust without a kit, which I really am not into getting a kit more of a stock body guy. But I like the stock spoiler that came on this car. I am not a big fan of the TRD wing especially on a stock body like mine. At first I was a little worried about the way the car looked wingless, but pretty much all of the 7th gen Celicas have some type of spoiler from the factory so I kind of like the different look.

And yes the car is a GT-S and a manual, couldn't have it any other way IMO. I am not a fan of the pins either, but when I picked up the c/f hood (used) there were already pins in it so it didn't leave me with too much of a choice on that one. :/ But there is a c/f hatch handle for these cars, and that will be the next thing done to the car. Just in the process of getting one and getting school work done and not falling behind. It can be quite the task!

Thanks for the positive comment

This is only the second celica of this body style that I like, so prop. And i think the red celica badge on trunk looks sick in contrast to the black, but I would go ahead and paint the roof black, oh and black out the tail lights it would be so sick, IMO. But it's still one of the sickest celicas I've seen! :goodjob:

Yep it is dropped on Tein drop which is maybe 1.5"" IMO it is one of the worst mods that I did to the car because since the day I have put the springs on I have wanted to be lower. I hate being told all the time that I should lower the car when I already spent the money to be nice and low, but picked the wrong combo of springs. :(


nice i also had a gts a while back... dont put a b&m short shift kit in it lol. i bought mine with one and the gates were tight as fawk

Lol, and yep I have a Ralco short shifter kit which is a replica of the B&M. It seriously tightened up the shifting now. It pretty much blew up whatever was left of my synchros in 4th and 3rd.


looks nice, it would be nice with a drop tho..

Thanks, and yep on a Tein S-Tech drop which is for sure not low wnough for an import. Should have went balls to the wall and slammed it.


I like the car ! But I dont like the rims ! ! !

Hey it is all good, I know that not everyone will like the rims, because they are for sure not baller status or anything like that. I was in the need of some tires for my GT-S wheels, and it was pretty much just as cheap to pick up these wheels used from a Scion guy with pretty brand new tires than it was to get a good set of tires for the car, so I picked them up. I just wanted to stay simple with the 5-spoke since I don't really know wheels to well. I am not much of a wheel connoisseur like alot of people on the boards here.

Yeah I am definitely all over the middle Ga area with living and going to school in Macon, and going to Wartown pretty much every weekend. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks! Yeah I get that I need to paint the roof black alot, and I could see me falling into the temptation of doing that. I think it would connect the c/f hood and hatch pretty well. There is also a c/f roof overlay for these cars that would be very nice as well. ^_^

Ha, now that would be quite the feat! Maybe we could get one on the roof or something, but I doubt that we could ever get two of them on there!

Yeah I have never had any pictures taken of the car before besides by me, and that is not saying much since my camera always makes my car look orange. Still have never figured out how that always happens when I take pictures. :???:

Check your white balance, but they look fine those pics. NOt too orangey.

It is like I have to take pictures at a certain time of the day not to get the car to look all orange, but thanks for the info on how to take some pictures!

I need to rep you if I only knew how! lol

BlueBatmodile has all the overlays for the Celica. He has some good ones on his site here.
