"Skooters Picture Thread"

[Skooter]

I've owned my car for a little under a year now and this weekend finished up the last touches on my makeover. I have a couple mods I still want to do down the road but those can wait. For now I got my car looking the exact way I wanted it.

Before:



After:














I know white Kaminari's are nothing new, but this is the setup I've always dreamed of and regardless of how many people think its played out I absolutely love it.

Any of you Vancouver locals want to meet hit me up and we'll organize a little photoshoot.

Cheers.

lol yeah the pics were a rushed 5-10min job, didn't have the time I wanted for some proper pictures.
I personally love my rims and I do have some 20mm and 25mm spacers, just haven't gotten them installed yet.

haha yeah man finished up the sideskirts and was running short on time so I went to my mechanic to get the exhaust on, gotta say I'm really enjoying it.

[Speck102]

It looks nice. Even though silver is my personal favorite color for the Celica because of the way it brings out all the lines, I think white is the nicest looking color on our cars. Your car looks clean. Can't really tell about the wheels though, it's hard to see what they would really look like in daylight.

[Gootz311]

Hey look, another white kam. Im just playing lol

It looks good mayn. Whats that thing next to your license plate ?

[Thomas]

Nice makeover! Like to see some shots in daytime, though.

The only thing I would add are spacers at the rear.

[AsianSurprize]

Nice ride skooter! The new white kami is sick even if it's played out.. <3 it.
We gotta meet up soon man..

[AsianSurprize]

that's an n sign lol, "New Driver in BC"

[Ddragon]

Wow Skooter! That's a huge make over man! It looks clean as hell! How long have you been at it because you were silver at first and then all of a sudden BAM! lol Keep up the awesome work man!

[GunGTS]

Welcome to the club lol. Looks good!

Thanks man, one thing I've noticed with all the pictures I've taken is that the wheels seem to just fade into the tires and are hard to notice. They look way better in person I assure you.

lol yeah I wasn't really in a rush to learn how to drive... Until it became clear that I could save up enough for a Celica. Then I got my **** together haha.

Thanks Ryan, yeah white kami's always been my dream setup.
And unless we decide to meet up earlier I'll most likely see you at the Revscene Meet.

Yeah I'll be sure to get some daytime pictures when I have the time. And the spacers are sitting in my room, just got to figure out when to install them.

Thanks Ddragon! Yeah the mods went into full swing around late May early June. This has been my summer project and I went into overdrive with getting everything prepped ready and installed around the same time. There were a couple of delays but better late then never.

haha thanks bud, I love the way the 03+ tails look on your white kami. I'm a little jealous.


Thanks for all the feedback guys! I'll try to get some decent daytime shots soon.

[Skooter]

Alright had to run some errands after work and just so happened to have my point and shoot in my backpack so I decided to take some daytime pics.











And a close up of the wheels. 18x7.5 Kyowa KR210's.



I love my life lol.

[taryon]

Nice and clean in Daylight! I'm really digging the black wheels

[ateens4]

love the setup. its a classic and im really happy everything worked out for you

[gts_02]

Why is the kaminari kit getting so common? Haha, good choice on the kit tho.

You're 8 years too late to make that comment.

[GunGTS]

Is that the stock toyota white? I'm starting feel like I should have went with that instead of the pearl I have lol. I'm half tempted looking at your pictures to black out my roof and put my stock hood back on too.

[Gootz311]

Nice, you have 311 on your license plate.

lol It's always been my favorite kit and even if its one of the most common ones, I still think its one of the best.

Yup it's 040 Super White, really pleased with how it turned out. I've also thought about vinyl wrapping my hood black. Funny thing is I use to think the CELICA sunroof was really tacky but now with the white paint I actually kind of like it haha.

lol sure do. Why do you have 311 in your screen name anyway, same reason?


Thanks again for all the feedback, I'll probably be uploading some more pictures eventually so stay tuned.

[Skooter]

Decided to kill some time and do a photo shoot while waiting for the traffic to clear up. I had to stay late at work so I pretty much got the parkade to myself. Really pleased with how some of these shots came out. I always saved pictures of certain Celicas that were so awesome I would just stare and admire them for hours. The fact that the car in those photos is now mine is a pretty awesome feeling.

Sorry about the changes in lighting lol my settings were all over the place.



































Oh and Marc this is for you. (If you even visit this section)




Cheers.

Thanks for the offer man but I'm not a big fan of cf, not really my taste.
Cheers.

Thanks for all the feedback guys!

Anybody wanna help me decide which image to submit for the 2011 New Celica Calendar?
I originally did that photo shoot to get a good "calendar worthy" shot but there's so many pictures I can't decide which is my favorite.

[Cookie]

Keeping it clean, nice job.

[Bluboy]

Clean and looks good! Nice Celica!

[chillan420]

looks like a 1995 -1998 Porsche 911 Carrera

[Zero]

^that's a nice porsche!

[Geist]

Very nice white looking kam bro. Nice to see more beautiful white celicas

[Geist]

With all these amazing picture threads popping up I figured it was about time I got my baby featured in a professional looking photo shoot.

The photographer was really nice and understanding considering it was so last minute. He was able to get them to me before the deadline so now I need to figure out what pic will overwrite my current calendar picture.

Amazing!

[mrluilou]

skooter that's some good stuff !! you should've numbered them
i think for the calendar i would choose #28 counting from the bottom up

[Skooter]

lol my bad, its fixed. So you recommend #21?
Not a bad idea actually, I could just crop it into a more calendar friendly size.

[celicayounggun]

i love 23,24, and 27

actually 27 the most, its very sharp

[mrluilou]

skooter i meant 22

[narly charley]

I don't think your sig has the right picture... The pictures in the woods with all the leaves and trees are beautiful. Makes the car POP.

[Gootz311]

I agree w/Luis. #22

Those pics came out great.

[sniperworks]

Really nice shoot!

lovely pics overall.... hard to choose the best.

[InsolentMinx]

stunning photos from the pro set.... too hard to choose less than 5 that i really like!
