New parts are as follows: Billet style grill from mr. grille, stealth bulbs from matrix racing, and new rims and tires courtesy of The Johnny (sp?). Not in that particular order of course. I still have to install the springs and the new tail lights that should be coming tomorrow. I love how the new tires look. Even though they are stock from another p5 they still really look sharp. The difference being they are the polished version. The tires are yoks in a 205/50/16 size. They look kinda taller to me.
P.S. The johnny is a great seller and the tires and rims were in great shape for being used. Thanks Johnny!

I may play with the lower grill a little more. I'm thinking I might be able to lower it a bit to close up the gap. I like the grill because it's different and all you do see it on it those damn high dollar suv's or big trucks. Well around where I live anyway.

And I would have had my tails today but my jerkoff husband decides to go to the video store when they aren't even due until another 4 days!. UPS showed up around 5 or 5:30 pm and he knew they were going to come too. I was and am still at work. Of course when no on was around yesterday they showed up at almost 11 am. Arrgghh!! Okay anyway when I do get them installed I will post a couple pics.

Thanks for the comments guys good and bad.
 
New tails!

Here are the long awaited tail lights. Got them monday but we had rain so I didn't actually get them installed until yesterday. I bought them on ebay and they came tinted already. There seems to be a bit of a gap on the drivers side but otherwise I really like how they look on the car. I bought some sylvania bulbs for the turn signals but I'm going to wait and order some leds for the rest of the bulbs then just do them all at once.

They're the euro style bumper lenses for the 2002 celica. I ordered them from streetbeatcustoms.com. I think they were around 35 before s/h charges.
 
I can't believe I missed this thread when you posted it.... glad to see that you like the wheels and tires... always good when the person your selling to likes the product... :)
 
Will be posting more pics after I washed and waxed yesterday. The rims are so shiny :D And damn Johnny, I almost forget I even posted this thread lol.
