Proficience's White GTS AT
 
Good morning guys

So I've had my baby for a week now and I finally got Frank from Bright Shine Mobile to come over and Opticoat her. She looks unbelievably amazing now.

He has done countless other 86s and I simply cannot recommend him enough after seeing him at work yesterday. Oh, and he's over 10 feet tall and breathes fire! Just kidding, he made me say that lol

But honestly his attention to detail and the passion that he shows towards detailing my car was unreal. The word 'lazy' is the last thing that comes to mind with Frank. He mentioned that my paint was in almost perfect condition and it definitely showed after he was done. It looks just astoundingly sharp, with reflections that are unexpected of a white car...

I've uploaded quite a few (70+) 'arty' shots over here for all your viewing pleasure. (couldn't be bothered cuttting down but hey your win right).
Oh yeah excuse the shitty backgrounds lol (Sydneysiders may know where it is :P)

Cheers!

davey90 07-29-2012 05:32 AM

So that white 86 everyone I know near my area is mentioning about, was you all along! :confused0068:

I'll be the next white 86 in the area soon.;)

JiB 07-29-2012 05:42 AM

So that when someone steals your photos (google) they don't know everything about you...

Awesome pics! So would you highly recommend getting an opti-guard slapped on then? it's just the nearest place to me that does it is nearly a 1000 Kms away...although it'll make the break in process a lot quicker :thumbup:

Haha the amount of people who stop, turn their heads and stare is just ridiculous. Drive through Canley Vale/Heights area and its pretty much every 2nd person LOL (but hey i'd be doing the same if I was them :))

But I'm sure it will wear off after a while (hopefully)... IMO most people look because of the 'unusual' shape that they can't put a name to - a guy stopped me once in the car park and asked me if it was the new Celica lol :bonk:

I'm not the type to jump on the bandwagon so quickly and I'm looking forward to see how it performs in the next few months for sure, but from what I've seen/heard on the interwebs + my very little exposure to it so far, I'd certainly recommend it - Good excuse for you to go for a long cruise too! :P

sho 07-29-2012 06:25 AM

oh whut??? your in the same area too lol

cool cheers for the opinion...aaand I'm sold lol, i'm getting it done...when my car arrives. by the way mind if I ask how much your opti-guard set you back? I've been quoted round the $700 mark in QLD.

Frank in NSW is doing for under $500 - the guys in the other states are overcharging IMO.

I happen to find this description the easiest one when someone asks what it is: "Yeah mate, it's Toyota's current rear-wheel drive Celica. They've just happened to name it 86".

Thanks in advance mate!!

Nardi330 07-29-2012 08:38 AM

Who did u get the quote from lokvo?

I certainly didn't pay $700. Is that quote only for exterior or interior as well??

FT86_Zero 07-29-2012 08:57 AM

So far I've only driven 2km with it on to fill up and did not notice anything peculiar about the satnav signal. It should be fine (theres a whole thread dedicated to it in the global GBs subforum if you're interested for other opinions)
