    After replacing the windshield, I left the car on the street with a plastic cover, which left sands marks on the painting. :banghead

    So, to repair the damage done by its cover, I polish him and then i put the stickers.

    Meantime I removed the white rims because I did not like the performance of the car with 16 rim, he was more slower than it already was ... :hehe

    I also put the original gas pipe with the original cover.

    Here are also some pictures of the polishing process and the placement of the stickers:

    What are the wheels that look better?

    Yes "Car Mats" is the correct term :cool: Celica is looking beautiful with the stickers on and I like the original 10 spoke alloy wheels.

    What are you going to do about the wheels, are you leaving the 16s off completely ?

    Thanks CelicaSteve :cool:

    Yes, I'm thinking of selling the white wheels 16''.

    I put the original wheels just to see how it looked, because I'm not planning on staying with them too.

    I'm looking for some wheels like Minilite 15'', but I can not find anything in europe in 5x100...

    Thanks shaun4vert

    I agree, Those wheels look very good on gen 4, but I'm been looking for a style more "old school".

    like this in 5x100:

    Yes, you won't be happy till you find those type of wheels you want, so in the meantime you'll just have to run it with the originals till you find them, or something very similar.

    There are some similar wheels but none in 5x100.

    For now, he will get the same wheels.

    The direction was aligned and the wheels were calibrated and installed tyres:

    Yokohama parada spec 2 - 195/50 R15 in front
    Toyo PROXES T1-R - 195/50 R15 Rear

    Here are the photos of the process:

    the car looks as new after polishing, should polish mine next summer !

    I like the look of the 15" wheels, so when mine is ready I'll find me some 15" with semi-slicks for trackdays but install 17" for daily use.

    Your car really looks stunning!!

    Thanks Lone Wolf :thumbsup:

    The 17 wheels look good on your car, but in mine I will not install because they are too heavy for a 3S-GE Stock. :hehe

    Great job with your car, your are fortunate to live in portugal. I live in Sweden, here it is winter and very wet. Keep up the good work!
    One question, what does "GT-R" stand for? Mine says "GT-I 16"
