need your opinion

[po9i]

im thinking bout taking off my pin stripes and de-badging my car...then gonna add bat's headlight and tail light kits...and a vvt-i badge...what do you guys think?

[Acilec]

It's about time you made some mods :) I say go for it.

[po9i]

mods..more like details...i just want my car to stand out a little more with all the celicas driving around here

[CelicaPrincess]

take the pin stripes off!!!!

[po9i]

the stripes have grown on me tho...i can't imagine my celi without them

[Jusone36]

pin stripes off...

[Cubador]

do it

[JDM SiR]

Lose the pin stripes and the emblems. The VVT-I badge would look awesome as well. I say go for it. You need to catch the modding bug that has bitten all of us already. :D

[Stress]

yeah pinstripes need to go... the day i got my car i had the dealership's shop take them off when they detailed my car

as far as bat's mods.... well i dunno, i actually bought 2 sets from him and didn't even bother to put them on. One set is for the headlights, and I'm not gonna put those on. The other was to cover up the silver trim on my TYC tails, but just after I got his kit I got some konig absolute graphite rims with a silver lip and they actually go together pretty well with the TYC silver trim.

Yeah, so if anyone is in the market for either of those I can give em to ya cheap :D

[BAdAzZV8]

do it all, but leave the vvt-i badge off.

[BoyRacer]

see i like the pin stripes it a nice accent. get rid of the gold ****. i was completly debagged for a long ass time, i hate badgeing and advertising. but i like that vvti badge. its not like its a type r badge. it has the vvti motor

[BAdAzZV8]

I know, but a complete debadge looks clean

[BoyRacer]

like a clean shaven woman

[CeliRacer]

Finally! Neil's using the beer money for some mods!

Take the pinstripes off and Contact me for the VVT-i emblem. :D

[po9i]

which version of bat's headlight kit do you have...im interested...and no im not gonna mod my car....i don't want it to be any slower than it already is

[EzRidA]

Don't take the pinstripe off. If you do you're gonna see the paint faded there. Your car has always been outside and you've had it for well over two years. My best advice is leave it there.

[CeliRacer]

Dan, mine was too. but then again, he has spec blue.

[Stress]

i think its like h4 or something... its basically a headlight cover knock-off... spectra blue

Silver generally hides anything. Scratches, dirt, blemishes, and fades. That's the one thing I like about the color. Otherwise its too played out. :wtc: We have like the Silver Celica Club going on.

Ugh...am I the only one here who thinks vinyl is so ricey? C'mon po9i...spend your money on something more worthwhile. If you want to make your car stand out from the rest without spending a lot of money, do something like this...get rid of the pinstripe, debadge the car if you like the look (I don't personally, but it would look better than the gold badges in my opinion), get a set of GT-S 16" rims and put those on the car and then do a drop.

[SexyCelica]

Nothing like some free mods right? Tru it'll look kinda weird if your paint is faded and theres a big line of dark going along your sides. The link in my sig should have a pic of a debaged rear, makes it look alot more plain. The headlight kit is bit*ch to put on and I ended up throwing it away, but the the taillight kit is very easy.

CeliRacer- how much for vvt-i badges?

[The Game]

I have the VVT-i badge, its sweet to look at! If you want to stand out more get some rims! BTW Bats kits look good but they are a bitch to put on!

I'll probably sell them for $20.00 because it's a pain in the ass to get them. They are real Toyota emblems too.

Yup! At least we are the founding members of the club. :D

[badboy58]

i think you should do that.

[EzRidA]

Chris OT, but do you still have that gauge pod and gauges?

[CeliRacer]

Gotta find them, but I should still have them.

[EzRidA]

Wanna sell em?

Edit: Well depending on which gauges you have. I'll take the gauge pod for sure though.

[CeliRacer]

Lemme find them first, and then i'll let you know. The gauge is Autometer A/F gauge, the one that has the black background and is a half moon that goes back and forth.

[EzRidA]

Let me know. :thumbup:

[po9i]

umm remember my car was garaged....and we had the covered parking at school.....allan removed the stripes on his car...and his black didn't fade....i think im just gonna keep the car the way it is

[T-Rock]

Look at it this way... most people with Celicas DON'T have the pin stripes. So you would be like an OG Celica owner. heh Think of it like that. :)

[po9i]

yea..the strips have grown on me....anyways im gonna get my bike

[T-Rock]

What kind of bike you plan on getting? Just checking but...bicycle or a motorcycle? I plan on getting a Yamaha R6 when I can scrap up the money to get one. Maybe something better....depends on what comes out down the road.

[Ugly Pete]

[Mr.EcLiPsE]
