Thread: College tuition is cheaper.

Well, Here's the beginning of a timeline. I'd been looking for a GTP for awhile, when I graduated highschool in May of 2011 I found someone who wanted to trade a 98 for my 91 celica gt plus some cash on my end. I jumped on it. Originally the car had scraped a median barrier and the driver side front fender and door were replaced with dark green panels After I got her she had 122k on the clock, I changed out the quarter panel and repainted the door. From there it has been some slight mods, custom 3" exhaust from the Y back. Some paint. And I just put in a 3" catless DP. Next up is a 3.6" pulley and a PCM.

First week I got her


Painted the rims, originally planned on a blue and black



Front Fascia got painted



Then I decided I liked the red better. So, this is how she sits today.

Looks nice. DC sticker not my style... and get a front plate filler!!!

it looks really good! im not a fan of the blue headlights though...
i like the rims/red grills.

Well don't get one if you will get ticketed lol.

You might like some red pontiac inlays for the rear too.

i like how you did the grills they look nice and differant

What kind of paint/clear did you use? It's really glossy! I need to repaint my spoiler and thats how i want it!

its really all about the clear and how you lay it on what you really should use IMO is DC4000 Clearcoat from PPG, i did my rims with JC630 Shopline witch is a cheaper line of PPG. They came out very glossy but i laid it down real nice, check out my how to paint your rims thread in my signature. But i did my roof rails with the DC4000

Car looks pretty good man

Nice ride, looks great. Although blue is my fav, so I liked it better blue. just sayin...

I agree the red and black look nice.

Keep it up champ.

aww man i liked the red/black combo better, very nice car either way tho

At first I didn't like the car, but cleaned up and the black and red look great together! I bet you could have pulled off the black and blue if the blue had been darker.

Nice job

oh ok, yea the blue n black look good but def better with the red/black, im liking the rims alot

Went the the pull and save yard this weekend. Scored some new front grills, a DIC that works but I need to replace the back lights in it. And I also happened to find an older GTP badge in great shape. $9 for everything out the door. Also got around to putting some 6K HID's in my fogs. Pictures of those later this week. They are sweet!

Get rid of that tiny restrictive intake pipe and just bolt the filter on the end of the TB.

Otherwise...I like it...need to get rid of some of the wheel gap though.

Anything else, try checking out the link in my signature bruthaman.
