Default (non-honda) friend's 2002 Celica GT

i just thought i would post my friend's ride
he's had this car for a little over a year, and its progression is great

his mods are:
-injen CAI
-TRD exhaust
-hotchkis springs
-painted stock rims *license plate frame to match *
-last but not least... s2k antennae

flame away...



wheel's were done by me... thanks to the "how-to's" on this site



EDIT: here's a formal pic of the owner...

I think he should at least get GT-S wheels, I don't like those GT wheels much.

everyone suggested him to get a GT-S
but the deal was... he got to choose a selection of cars through his mom's company classifieds (microsoft)

his first pick was a 2002 eclipse... but the day the owner was driving it to his house, the car was wrecked.
so the 2002 GT was the next choice.

he bought the s2k antennae from a local honda dealer.
and he's been looking for a set of GT-S rims

next mods are R2 front, and boost

Boost sounds good to me

Rims are blah though.

yea, their alright but every time I see one it looks like it was made for people who wanted to be ricers but didn't want to get flamed for it I guess the performance is pretty good though I have never driven one. So I guess my opinion is slightly bios?
