Red face Hello From Washington :]

I'm Sarah, living in Washington.
I'm an eighteen year old college student living at home with my parents.

My mother drives a 2000 Toyota Camry (stock).
My father drives a 2003 Toyota Tacoma 4D (stock).
And I drive a 2000 Toyota Echo 4D (modded).

:]

Hi, Sarah, and welcome to Toyota Nation!

Your user name is interesting because I had a girlfriend a few years back who had a Camry with the license plate Lil Pook.

It isn't too heavily modded. But it does have: Magnaflow exhaust, cold air intake, some nicely curbed rims, a cute little TRD brake light cover, and that awkward spoiler. I didn't put any of this on there though. I had bought it this way a few years ago.

I've begun to do some body work though. There were a lot of little dings and such on the doors. So right now, I have them all sanded down, bondo'd, and primered. Ready to be painted. :]

Nice to see a woman who does her own work!
What color are you gonna paint it.

Haha, thanks. I'm just doing the doors and back bumper (looks like the previous owner backed into something). I'm going to be painting the same color gold. I do have a concern though. Since it is a 2000, the new paint won't completely match the rest of the car. Should I just do the whole car?

When you paint it you could ditch the awkward spoiler and fix the body damage it leaves behind at the same time.

Probably. There may have been some fading. If you remove the bumper an paint it 1st, you can eyeball and see if the colors are close enough.

To the comment about ditching the spoiler, I've grown on it and I don't want to give it up. Its what makes my Echo different from the rest. And it would be a weird sight without the spoiler because my car is very loud. Louder than all my guy friends' ricers. It just doesn't make sense to me. I love that thing :]

I've also contemplated just painting the whole car because of the possible fading and there are a few dings on the hood that bug me. But after I finish school, I was planning on selling this and getting a Nissan 240sx and painting it a dark hot pink with flake. :0
