Front Ends - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #72693 17 posts Started by Tihsho
Hey guys and gals,

I've been looking into a sixth gen celica for a while but I wanted to plan out some mods before going through and purchasing one. I just wanted to know if there are after market front ends (made for other style head lamps) available. I personally love supra lights and would love to find a front end that would accommodate them. I just can't seem to find any on the net.

Thanks!
Yeah, to my knowledge, not much out there. Probly gunna have to go custom. Or do the curren front end swap.
curren front end swap? I guess I need to check that out. Someone on here had a digitized image of a car in their signature with a different front end that looked pretty damn good.

Edit/Update:

So I did some searching in the forum and saw a few mods done to turn the exterior into a supra. Obviously there are certain parts that need to be custom in order to mount the lights, I'm just curious for anyone that has done this if they had to mod the brackets to fit in the bumpers.

the supra front bumper is almost half a foot wider than the celica's body. Custom bodywork like that is extremely expensive and you'll have to put a lot of work into it btw, unless you can do it yourself lol and just cuz it looks good on one car dun mean it will on another. I like the supra's styling, but Im trying to imagine supra headlights on the celica... cant see it coming out looking good o.0 anyone have a photoshop to help my imagination?
Look up playr158, he still has an old pic up from when he had Supra headlights.

That, I like. A lot actually.

@OP: Curren front end conversion would be best IMO. Supra headlights are just too big for a Celica (Again, IMO), although a rear end conversion wouldn't be so bad. Lots of custom body work to be done though.


That looks awesome.

Thats what the 7th gen should have looked like, I hate the "OH NO!!! we are out of time lets just leave the back as is" look that they gave it.
