    oh and words of advice, do not remove the whole sunroof assembly to remove the lid. removing all the interior, heating up the roof of the car so the tar will soften, and dropping the pan

    Yes, I'd like to see more pics too; in the prep phase or finished, doesn't matter, nice work. I like the white stripes, looks good.

    2 question for you:
    1) are your tires 205's or 195's?
    2) what type or brand of body filler did you use?
    Wondering what that yellow primer is...

    my tires are 195/65/14 i think there too small, i want something wider but im in the process of buying 245/40/18 and hopefully they will fit. oh and i lowered my car in august not in any of these pictures it was olny 2 inches but looks cool, and bonus it wont look like a peurtorican SUV with bigger wheels on it like most celis, maybe ill put some 245/30/18's on next year with some TOYO Proxes since i work for a toyo tire dealer:)

    lol the stripes were kind of a random decision i made a couple months before i painted the car, i originally wanted block stripes, but my painter talked me out of it, i think there a bit godly sometimes. i just took tape and kind of put them on the hood to see what it looked like i really should have done them wider i kind of regret it. i think my celica is cursed or somethign everthing goes wrong with it and it always leaves me stranded lol, i love it too much to part with right now though. right now the car is dead lol of corse its been sitting 2 since sept, i live right on the ocean and everthing in the engine bay is oxodizing or something it dosnt look as good as it used to. im going to pull the head off tomorow. oh and for the bondo its 3M im pretty sure.
