Been working on this alongside of the mustang. This got the R32 Rims and a custom exhaust and muffler. Im struggling with the interior color. Its TS-50 Mica Blue. Any suggestions??

The tires are all the way on, the celica body has some wide fenders to cover those wheels.

What he means about fixing the tires is their direction. These tires are directional- they are not the same rolling one way as the other. On tires with a directional pattern, the "arrow" pattern on the tire should always point forward (towards the front of the car) when viewed from the top. So this arrow should point down when you look at the tires from the front of the car, like this-

A tire set up this way will push water out away from the center of the wheel when rolling on wet pavement. If put on backwards, they will actually trap water in towards the center- not healthy if you're looking to avoid hydroplaning.
On the engine, you might consider using a wash (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=441493) to bring out some of the detail.

One of my fav. cars of the 90s. I'm definately going to follow this thread. As for the interior - I'd try some simple colours like white or black, possibly with some aluminium adds. I wouldn't add any blue arnamentation tho (i.e. parts of the steering wheel, dahsboard, etc.), couse it'll most likely make it look silly:D
If i could say sth about the tyres - maybe it'd be worth sanding them a bit.

i fixed the tires after i took the pics and broke one of the pegs off the rims.....oops. I was looking at the interior styling of an impreza, the grey and blue with alum accents. Thanks for all the comments.

Looks good, IMO using BMF on the head and tail light buckets will make them look more realistic once the lenses are on. Nice progress.
