6G Celicas Forums

um yeah.. i was thinking is it possible to swap the flip ups from a 5 gen to a 6gen celica?
i'd look beautiful! the sexy ass of a 6gen with the the 5gen flip ups! hmmm or would that requre alot of fabrication?

has anyone even heard of this swap?

Wow talk about some custom work.....
I dont think it would be cheap at all.

It would need alot of fabrication/bodywork.

You could (maybe) get the full front from a 5 and swap it for the 6 including all the light mounts/harnesses/relays etc.
But you'd also need to modify the wings, the bonnet and the bumper.

Not sure if they'd line up properly anyway as I doubt the angle of the 6 bonnet is the same as the 5 bonnet. without seeing them both next to each other and seeing where/how everything is fastend in, its difficult to say just how much work would be involved. I am guessing alot though.

End of the day it is upto you and depends how much time/money you have. Anything is possible with the right amount of money.

ya'll know wat will be cool.. flip up 6th gen headlights. when low beams on.. flips up 2 round headlights... turn on high beam as well all 4 flips up.. so it'll still have alil 6th gen flava in it

it would be sweet if like they didnt flip up, but there would be these covers over them and you hit a button and the covers would slide up real fast like those sci-fi doors in Star-trek. Then same thing for close. And make the sweet sound also. THAT would be cool!

that reminds me of one of the old mid 80's porches.. one of them had flip up round lights that were always visible, but popped up when in use... kinda neat
