This dynamat kit I used is supposed to be used in that way. They also have a kit that you need to stick everywhere which is a bit cheaper.
For the time being the difference is road/exhaust noise you feel, and less vibration when subwoofer turns on.
Definitely worth money... but sure I wouldn't recommend to dismount all the car just because of this

Also, I like the widebodies where you can easily tell how it's flared out. Check out my readers' rides threads... The latest one is 'Al... Most.. Done..' That's how I like widebodies

Nice choice on the paint. I like that color. Also, I like the polished valve cover and intake manifold.

My PERSONAL Suggestions:
Get different wing (Kam, WW, TRD) or even a lip spoiler like Brashboy.
Paint your headlight inserts the same color as the car, or maybe some eyelids
Different tails. I used to have those tails on. They look better on black celicas.

Nice job though. That color is nice.

Absolutely gorgeous color :bowdown:; I think the tails work well with the whole set-up. My only humble suggestion is to consider going wingless -- otherwise, that is pretty much flawless! Great work! Beautiful!

Curious, what's up with that metal plate over the intake? Is it meant to be a heat shield or simply to keep the intake from denting the underside of the hood?

One other suggestion: Paint the grill on the front bumper black

It's all the question of taste, I wanted it looks smooth that's why we modified front and rear bumpers as well. In my opinion in 'Al... Most.. Done..' you need to make some changes to bumpers as well, especially the rear one. Althoug it is already looks impressive, respect.

There no special use of that plate other than cosmetic, there was too much empty space after removing stock filter, so imo I had to cover it.

About the grill is a good suggestion, and I actually thought about black grill

I left silver it to have a bit of silver on all sides, otherwise I have to get black rims.

I'm not on the continent bro, this is not just the paint with code, this is silver metallic with flakes and then orange ink (yes.. ink!)

Only the paint works cost me about 4000. everything alltogether around 15K
there lot of things big and small that you can't see on pics, like suspension, HID etc...

IMO, a different set of wheels would set it off. also a lower stance. but sick color!
