Calling all avid car fans

skoreanime · April 26th, 2008, 22:20

I recently traded my '06 Matrix for a '03 Celica. It was a swap among family due to various reasons, but short story short, someone needed a bigger car for a new job and I was the only other person who could drive stick.

Now, it's pretty banged up after giving it a look over with a friend. I've already got new tires coming in but the body is what I'm wondering about. There are various scratches here and there and the body kit is pretty much scrap. I'm looking around for a kit and I think I've decided on one but I was wondering about how much it would cost to install it and repaint the car.

It all depends on what type of kit it is. And it depends on what kind of paint your wanting. And who you go to and etc.

I suppose so. I think I've found a decent place for the kit. The money sinker is going to be the paint job of course

I know what I'm saving up for next year

Yeah. Celicas are decent cars. And can be quite speedy if you know what to do to them. But im more of a performance guy than a looks guy.

I like it 'cause it saves me a heck of a lot on gas

Though I prefer the older generation headlights. The round ones just look plain better IMO.

Speed isn't really a factor for me. The roads in my city are horrendous (PCXL can vouch for me on that). I don't need a turbo or super in there
