The more I look at them the more I like those mirrors. Celica is looking good Satoshi.

Oh no!! SOmeone ELSE with 5+HP Splash Guards!!!!

I am no longer unique!!! :cry:

Seriously though. Your ride looks FANTASTIC!!!

I do not think that I would paint it red. The dark colours blend with the tires, the runners, and the undercarrage of the car. It looks pretty much PERFECT.

satoshi continues to deliver more surprises from across the globe to our humble site!!!!!!!

WOW! I saw those lights...I dunno...they remind me of a civic or integra now....bleh...but I"ve always wanted them too...I'm thinking for your car you should mabee go white instead of yellow turns...illegal tho huh? even red prolly illegal...

your car is so nice man...keep up the great work

in japanese law, turn signal must be yellow, and
my mods on celica are all legal because of my policy.

looks good .. I don't know if I'd paint or not .. if I had a red celica I would paint it a glossy black and go with a red/black scheme

actually one question with the stock mirrors you have the controls inside the car to move them and such. Can you still do all that ??

Hey Satoshi, are those new mirrors heated?
Also are the stock mirrors in Japan heated?
I hear they were and wish are mirrors were heated for our nasty climate in Canada.

satoshi

video camera is working 24hrs in my parking lot

HA! aSK pETE how safe it is in Toronto..

Unfortunately.....tho...automobile theft & crime is getting worse year after year...Toyota Canada was having real problems when the TRD kit first came out on the celica...people were stealing parts from teh dealership overnight..right off the cars...

but yeah...your camera idea is great..but you prolly can't do too much...here as long as your covered properly by your insurance it's not too bad..

Sorry to hear things are bad there..but honestly I think every locale in the world has it's "crime" ridden neighborhoods..New York is pretty tough I hear...

as for specific attacks on celicas here in toronto, its nothing to worry about i find. there are times that our celicas are attacked, but not b/c its a celica (i.e. suv accident, brent having someone jump on his car --> supposedly he does that quite often). drivers with hondas and hyundais have their cars stolen quite often, sometimes even robbed at gunpoint for them.
