K so i unfortunately had to sell my MR2 Turbo due to not being able to afford gas, and only getting 17mpg. So after a couple months i stumbled upon this 1997 Celica GT with 155k on the clock. After buyin some wheels and cleanin the ever livin out of it, i took some pics. Let me know what you guys think!! Oh and yeah i know it needs to be lowered... BAD.

Yea, those are Toyota seat covers. My 96 has"disco" type seats. They are not ripped up so I will leave them alone for now. They do say Celica on them that don't look bad.
