    you just have to make a new front glass as the original one won't work. otherwise they fit directly to H4 slots. they cost me $55 as they sell the 'not-so-perfect' (little scratches on the outside) at that price...but then you need the D2S hids + ballasts and that's more money.

    right....ricey stickers.... I'm not a personal fan of any stickers so that's why mine is clean except for oem stickers.. But each his own :).

    I do like what you done to the car since you picked it up and it definately needs the front lip !

    Just picked them up to give it a "cool" look? I'm just waiting for the JDM OEM Tom's Stickers And TRD and then they're going out! :)

    Thank you, iv'e been working very hard, today, i got him inspected, (Passed :D), insurance and tomorrow register him under my name ($145 :$)

    Yeah i'm trying to find a local Junked Celica or something! :/ tomorrow i'm heading to one close to my house, that a friend told me they had a Celica, he din't know what year -_-

    -And i'm very very very happy with him today, $23 of gas almost give me a FULL thank, and on my way home, me and dad were messing around (he in he's BMW) and, out of nowhere a Matrix XRS started messing around too, and when i downshifted to 3rd, he did the same i guess, and when we step on the pedals, he keeped up by my side till' i trowed 4th!! I beat the shit out of him!!!!! :D (obviously dad was WAYYY ahead as he's very fast) but i'm proud of my little Celica! First race in him! And first 106+MPH!!

    I don't think is happening again! I don't like to abuse him!

    the celica is a sportscar...so it's no abuse as long as you warmed it up properly and things are all up in maintenance. :)

    I put a 3s-gte in it so I can use it ! :)

    You have nice big houses there and most important a big garage.

    I wouldn't bother upgrading the FE if you are planning on putting a BEAMS motor in later anyway, but FWIW a set of aftermarket headers and a full 2" or 2.25" exhaust system should net you a small power increase and sound nice too.

    Thanks celica_gt-i Your Celica looks very very good to! You can do it :compress:, it take like a full day, but believe me is worth it! :D I feel like i drive the cleanest car in El Paso! Hahaha!

    Yeah, im really looking for the lip without any results! :/ but i would keep looking! :)

    Thanks, i try to be as original as possible!

    Thanks CelicaSteve, he sleeps sometimes inside, sometimes outside, but, i'm always at the garage doing something to him, doesn't matter what! :D

    Yeah i know, but is not 4 sure so, i can't seem to find the headers! Does the 5SFE one fits without problem? I can find those on ebay tho,

    I want the exhaust, but i have to remove the catalitics and resonators? I don't give a f*ck but what happens when i take him to inspection again?? I have the intake, and the muffler right know, and it sounds amazing! I can't imagine how it would sound without catalitics, full exhaust and a header!! :OO

    So, today he got legal! I took him to the DMV, and register him under my name, payed $140. Also, i raced again, this time with 3 cars counting me, a 350z and a Mazda 6 Newer Version, from the light, the 350z was WAY faster, and very very quickly he got lost! But, the Mazda 6 didn't have a chance! :D I was ahead all the time, till i stop at the other light! :D
    Everyday i get more and more in love with my Celica.

    Then, i was cruising looking for the UPS store, and passed by a old mechanic store (Still open) and i saw, from far far away, a RED 4th gen Celica!!!! I immediately did a u turn, and wet there asking if they are selling it in parts (He had the front lip :D And spoiler). And old guy came, and told me that was hes buddy's Celica, that he been working on that car since 1985!! He's friend is the ONLY OWNER!!! :O I almost passed away! from seeing that very very rarity! He told me, everything works, and he have done valve jobs, brake and other stuff to it. Then, he asked every single detail about my car! I was amazed on how this old guy knew everything about this cars! I think hes going to be my best friend!

    LOL i love to talk to persons that KNOW what they're talking about, he even told me if i was selling it, to let him know. Then, wen i left, i told me to accelerate, so i got out of the parking and did! :D I'm DEFINITIVELY going back there, to fix my a/c and the leak!! :D

    Also, i received today Some JDM Goodies, the Tom's Engineering Sticker, and the Tom's Engineering Seat Belts pads, here the pics,
