It's at the shop again right now getting a fiberglass box installed. For the interior, he has all alpine speakers. Two type r 10" subs, two sets of threeway components (I believe they're also type r, but whatever), an amp for the components, and an amp for each sub. Should sound pretty good

It's going to be great when he flips it and gets trapped inside.

Well, if you knew anything about lambo door kits, you'd know that the door has to swing out first and then up so it clears the fender...

Not to mention rolling your car would probably break the windows anyways.

Forget this Celica.........you 323 is better.
Seriously, the car is really nice. Very clean color and I love the doors. The only thing that I don't like is the front bumper. The rest of the bodykit is awesome, but for some reason it seems like the front bumper is 'out of place'.

I believe they are Nakayama (spelling) 18"s. They are 'hyper black', and they look real, real, nice

Actually, my friend is in a huge dispute with the guy who did all the work. To make a REAL long story short, the guy was supposed to have it for 3-4 weeks to get everything done. He FINALLY got his car back after 3 months and ENDLESS bitching. The guy was supposed to have it done WAAYYYYY before Carlisle, and DID get it done, but on the opening day. My friend needed to do the stereo install, so he'd need it for about 2 days prior to Carlisle. Needless to say, he never went down.

The guy does excellent work, but not when he's 'rushed'. There are a lot of flaws in the paint, dirt under the clearcoat, overspray in the interior, a few paints chips on places, some runny paint around the seams, so my friend was LIVID. He only paid the guy half of what he was originially supposed to, so it's a huge debate between the two for a few weeks now.

The guy was also supposed to do the Fiberglass enclosure, but my friend told him to forget it hoping he'd get it done sooner. So now it's getting done (I think it's finished today) at a local audio-shop. I think the plan then is to take it to another body/paint shop and get it fixed there, and bill the guy for the work he screwed up. Ultimately, the original guy who did it is going to have done all the work for free, because I'm sure the solution won't be a cheap one.

There is no excuse for the way he got treated. The guy was doing a lot of the work for cheap because he was going to 'sponsor' him, but that's way out of the question now. It's bad, bad business, but he brought it on himself.
