    well today i felt like checking my fluids under the hood (which everything was fine except for the clutch master cylinder...me thinks a new one is needed soon), but there was just a big eye sore in my engine bay:

    Good job. Looks sweet in this nature metal color, doesn't even needed to be painted imo :)

    sunroof cover to help prevent rust hopefully
    new "celica" part of the grille to replace the one i broke
    FRONT VALANCE AIR REDIRECT THINGS :D (powered by jdm zipties of course)

    That's the first one I'v seen on a 4th Gen and I don't like it....... Where did you get it and what did you use to stick it on there......... it looks like it has a decent 'aero' rubber seal.

    As far as rust is concerned, a decent sunroof seal and regualar inspection/clean/lube keeps things under control :cheers

    BTW...... Why are those zip ties there ????

    sunroof cover: i got it from a GT-S that was being parted out. unfortunately i park outside, no parking garage, so whatever helps i'll take.

    zipties: they're there to hold up the bottom of the wind deflectors, i've yet to know how to attach them to the front lip.

    id buy black tie straps if i was you.... they wouldnt look as DIY as the white, just my opinion!

  15. eNtraxGT88

    eNtraxGT88 Well-Known Member Donated!

    yup! i decided not to get the rest of the kit. if you want it, he'll sell it to me for $50 more

    rick, i sure wish i could've, but cash is balls right now and the thing that i've been wanting to have the most is the front bumper so i had to make an exception :/

    let me know when you're going there so i can go too and see if he'll give you a cheaper price since i already went to buy some stuff. i really want the short shifter so if he can do a combo deal for whatever stuff you want, maybe that'll work

    the rest of the car is rotten beyond belief. you tap the kit just in front of the rear wheel and a mound of rot just fell off the car. pretty much the leather seats + kit is what's worth it on that car.
