I meant the stock front bumper. It looks like it's smiling, I want an aggressive look like nobody can touch me kinda look.

I love the front bumper.... but get a invador kit if you wana look like you will eat people
no offense to EVERYONE that has the invader/veilside kit but dont get that kit IMO indeed it looks as if ure gonna eat someone i say you get the gt4 front and the gt4 lip ::priceless:
If you feel the need for speed I would definatley suggest you get the mr-2 turbo.
You wont need any money for an engine swap, and instead you can put that $4000 or so into the engine, upgrade the turbos, make the mr-2 super fast.

In my opinion nothing beats a mid engine rwd car. Superb handling and acceleration, a FWD celica wouldn't be able to touch that performance wise

As far as looks go I like the way both cars look, but if you get a mr-2 know that you wont be lugging stuff around and that the interior is kinda small. I'm 6'4 and i can jsut bearly fit!

I would go for the mr-2 if I were you, t-top, turbo, mid engine, rwd, its just awesome! >biggrin.gif>
I say go for an MR2 Turbo with T-Tops. Those are awsome little cars and if I could find a decent one with good miles down here I woulda probably got it instead of the Celica.

custom making a GT-4 look alike bumper from a stock one will be more expensive than just buying the real thing if you cant do it yourself, basically its going to just be a custom kit because the only thing the 2 bumpers really have in common are just around the headlights, even inbetween the headlights is different

yup gotta agree with k2 on this one...youd be better off just going to your local dealer and having them order the bumper cover for you its about 225 or so

sell your car and find a 93 all-trac. Swap in a 3rd gen 3sgte and give everygody on the road hell! (yea, too expensive, but hella fun I would think.)

Mr-2. Gotta love RWD burn outs.

MR2s arent good for RWD burn outs... gotta get a FR for good burnouts.

The MR2 wouldn't neciasarily be cheaper.... has anyone seen the prices on decent MR2's? THEY ARE OUTRAGEOUS! And with the MR2 you lose the back seat.... I'd say go with the 185 swap, you get 25 more HP right there and vitually every engine part for the MR2 is the same on the 185 3S.

Also I hear that MR2's are really hard to work on with the way the engine hood opens and where the engine is located, harder then the celica atleast.

MR takes alot of skill and practice to get down and drive well. i am not near that point yet lol whats cool about AWD is you just point and shoot and it will do it, they are very easy cars to control, and control under speed and hard driving. great setup for beginning drivers, out of all the drivetrain layouts, AWD takes the least driver skill to make it go fast in and out of corners.
