We met Selwyn and his Celica while traveling in New York and after looking at the car and talking about some of the details; it’s very easy to see that details are what he cares about. This car has been meticulously put together from top to bottom. Starting at the top, some of the things on the exterior that stood out for us were the Varis Arising II front bumper cover followed by the TRD sides and rear valence. Carbon fiber accents on the car from front to back thanks to Seibon, Kaminari and some personalized custom work. This black beauty needed some hot wheels so Selwyn chose Work Emotion’s XD9 in 18’s wrapped in Nitto Rubber. Going down the list of Selwyn’s other modifications we find ourselves looking at his Rotora big brake kit which peeks out nicely behind the rims. The interior has a lot of customization and attention to detail as well with many custom LED’s installed in all the dials and switches and 2 Corbeau racing seats which keep Selwyn comfortable when driving down the highway. We were lucky enough to see this Celica on a lift for some additional pictures where we saw first hand the Hotchkis sway bars and a very cool Beatrush (Laile) under panel cooling plate. This Celica captures a lot of attention everywhere it goes and it definitely deserves the attention from top to bottom.
