My mediocre bodywork!

Someone on here stated I do mediocre work so I thought I'd post my cars. Autobody work is just a hobby of mine and I take great pride in creating.

This is my 2002 widebody celica, front bumper was cut in half and 4" added to the center so it was low like a race car. The side skirt fender flare was molded to the ground effect and was able to be removed from the car just incase any accidents for easy repair on a daily driven car. Front fender flare molded, car fitted with 8.5x18 wheels front and 10.5x 18" wheels rear, hand made custom diffuser made in R&L rear bumper.





This is my 2000 MRS spyder which I traded for my HHR, This had a TRD body kit and TRD suspension, painted with land rover 'autumm leaf red' with HOK marblized hood.




And Finally my 97 Eclipse.. to many mods to list.




this is the real troy lee graphic used in "the fast and the furious" I was very lucky to obtain them for this project.

I love everything about the Eclipse except the park bench wing. Lot of people like those style wings, but I prefer something more subdued.

Looks to me like you do fine work.

At the time that was the thing, I'm in the process of removing the wing and a whole new custom interior. I also got new wheels, big brake kits, and a bigger turbo and fuel system. This car I'm doing very wild. My HHR on the other hand I'm doing mild modifications that compliment the stock appearance.

I paid $907 for the base coat alone for that color to paint the car. It is made up of alot of pearls. It looks much better in person. And I agree the HHR would look killer in that color.

not at all man...none of them are my cup of tea, but i am sure cutlass' on daytons and hydros isnt your cup of tea either. if this is a pissing match of whose [admin edit] is bigger then we should post pics of that. stay clear of pissin on my threads and i will stay clear of yours...cool?

i got money, but since i grew up in an environment where we carry pistols to protect ourselves and our investments it is very hard for me to post pics. we are very careful of what we post on the net. you know that culturally its loooked down upon and for good reason. i dont want people to know what i have in my car that could potentially lead to theft, but i do share with these guys from time to time. i have done plenty of fab work, but i am onto a new stage of my life working for city hall here in san antonio. i still help the blue collar guy, but working nearly FT, FT college, and about 40-50 hours of volunteer work for kids and veterans my time is much more valuable than any car.
