It's like driving a photoshopped Ferrari with splits and 6" lips...

  • I still think it needs more tire, but I can't believe the quality of body work. If I saw it in passing I probably wouldn't second guess it.

    • I love the car, but I feel the stripe takes away from the otherwise clean look to it.

      Still pretty cool though.

      • damn, as typical my mind was blown for the first couple of minutes...

        I personally like it, and must get so much interest at meets and shows, but kudos for doing something so custom man! Not really feeling the stripe because as mentioned *^ it takes away a clean look from the car.

        • The stripe grows on you. It's brushed aluminum and matches the split spoke theme of the wheels. Here are a couple more pics.

            • Thread resurrection - new wheels.




              Rennen CSL 3 20x9 225/30 ET20 + 65mm spacers and 20x11 285/25 ET23 + 85mm spacers

              It could be the only Celica with 285/25/20s mounted. Will post a rear shot if the weather ever improves in the PNW.

              Edit: Oh, and stripe is long gone.

                  • My buddy spotted your car a couple weeks ago + posted a pic on his facebook. It sparked a mini discussion on his facebook wall about exactly what your car was :P Half the comments *****, the other half admired :P

                            Here are better pics of the wheels. Working on a couple more.





                            Edit: thought this was a decent shot depicting the 285/25/20 rear versus the 225/30/20 front tires...

                            • This thing looks cool.
                              Only thing that bugs me is the fact that it's FWD

                              Cheap ain't badass, badass ain't cheap.

                              • Are these just a second pair or did you get rid of the other set ? These new ones are nice, but the other set is sick !
