Celica & MarkII Updates

Here's a small update on my Celica and MarkII.
I was debating on what type of lip spoiler to use, it was either a mild chin type spoiler, a FOHA style or step it up a notch and slap a Jay Leno style chin spoiler...haha, Jay Leno it is...check it out.

It needs a bit of cleaning up along the outer edeges, but so far I'm loving the way it looks.
The MarkII got some bumper work done. I had to fill in some gaps and add a bit of missing details of how the bumpers actuall mount up. The side skirts also gome some putty and styrene treatment to add a bit of flare. The wheel choice was changed as well. The Work Miesters needed too much work to get them the way I want them. So I opted on a set of Aoshima 18" VIP Gartmier wheels with a bit of a change. I used the stretched tires from the work wheels and added extra lip for some more depth.

Thats about it for now. You can see my Impala in the back there, it's primered and ready for some paint...That will be the next update as I have made some goodies for it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Jakubs' V.I.P. Celsior: Black Cherry

When you hear the term VIP, you probably think of a celebrity like Donald Trump or P. Diddy..but when it comes to the automotive world, VIP has a whole different definition. Slammed to the ground on coilovers, dark tinted windows, plush interiors and some deeeep offset wheels are the way they role. Originaly these big 4 door sedans were the means of transport for Yakuza in Japan. It was meant to keep the cops from pulling them over and when one saw them pull up, they automatically knew Yakuza was around. Now a days its a very popular trend in just about every continent and you don't have be a gangster to roll in luxury.

I'm calling Jakubs' Toyota Celsior "Black Cherry". The black paint job has a bit of red flakes so it gives it a black cherry color. Its a mix of old and new school VIP. The subtle spoiler kit, some 18" with semi-deep wheels, stretched rubber and a bit of camber bring it all together just nice. The interior is a tan color and looks comfy enough to enjoy some long trips on the express lane to Tokyo.

Here are the pics. Enjoy.
