What Front Bumper is This? - 6G Celicas Forums

I am interested in knowing what front bumper this is and who makes it.
If it cant be bought where can I find the piece that goes between the high beams? How hard would it be to graft onto my current bumper?
Also what side skirts are those?

I think they would both look good on my 95 Celica

That is a custom bumper. The upper half is a GT-4 bumper and the lower half is a pre-facelift bumper. Shig did a great job making that bumper. Check out Malpaso's Celica to see the hybrid bumper with a facelift lower bumper.

To add to that though, those front splitters are the standard splitters found on 'GT' models sold in the UK and some parts of Europe. They come in black Toyota plastic, but people often choose to colour code them.

The side skirts are just the standard OEM skirts. These are the same as the SSIII skirts, and are also found stock in many countries (I'm not sure, but may have been an optional thing in the states?) - here in AUS they were standard on facelift model top spec ZR's (Like mine ^.^).

- sarintr "facelifted" on 1995 ST204 http://www.6gc.net/celicas/ss-4-8225
- vidmav has on JDM SS-III (1998 ST202) also "facelifted" http://www.6gc.net/celicas/1998-ss-iii-hatchback-10789
- and palooke used it on 1996 ST204 convertible with slightly more from GT4 bumper... http://www.6gc.net/celicas/ss-four-c-4594

The same idea but always bit different results in the end. AT200 one is missing in the list smile.gif


and the side skirts are the 96+ sideskirts.

Thanks for the responses guys. I would love to do this conversion but seem you have to find a gt4 bumper to cut up and have to use a gt4 hood as well is that correct?
Thanks Shig for the list they are all really good looking cars but yours has to be the one I like the best being its the pre facelift bumper. And I like the subtle look of the side skirts with the splitters.
It would be really cool to get a fiberglass copy of this or something similar to original material if a gt4 donor bumper couldn't be found

That is indeed correct - You can get the bumpers out of Japan though for about $100.... Shipping usually kills the deal but if you get an agent to just cut out that middle grill it should only cost you $150 + shipping for the grill (Maybe $30-60). Then you need to hood too.

With the above option in place, it is not worth the hassle of going to inferior aftermarket solutions for the grill (I am yet to see one that I have liked).
