Supra tailed 6gc spotted, Alhambra area 56k beware. Options

[urbandork]

While driving in Alhambra area (near LA california). I past by a parked 94-94 white 6gc with a supra rear bumer, supra tails and custom celica trunk lid. It looked pretty nice. The back fender was cut away and folded to make room for the supra bumper. I would figure the supra bumper was cut and resized. There was a small gap between the trunklid and the bumper between the lights but it wasnt to bad and probably could be fixed easily.

I took some pix with a friends camera and i should have them up asap.

I left a a 6gc invite on the cars window.

Where's it!??!?! I want to see! Have you ever been to JJ Cafe in Alhambra? It's on Garvey between Garfield and Atlantic. There, you could ALWAYS find 2 white 6gen GTs parked there. They're prolly owned by some waiters in that cafe.

[Jen]

[urbandork]

If u live in alhambra its on Chapel between valley and mission. just a few blocks south of the ymca by the golf course and almansor park. Both times i saw it it was like 1 am and it was parked on the west side of the street. (right side if ur going down chapel down from mission to valley)

tomazws are u in the area.

[celicaracer18]

[tomazws]

[aznxrussel]

[Jaws4God]

[dustin15brown]

yeah i wanna see too

[tomazws]

I went there bout 3 in the morning after leavin my girl's apt but didn't see it... I had a camera with me too!

[urbandork]

Sorry for the wait lol. Also sorry for the night pix. As u can c there still is a gap between the trunk lid, bumper and tails, But if done correctly this can small problem can be solved. Also take note of the fender area that has also had some work done to it.

[Drocay]

wow person didn't do a bad job at all.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

oooooooooooo


and btw those pics are HUGE

[shid]

Person did a nice job- but I dont think it looks that great a on 6gc..

[urbandork]

lol yeah big pix can someone resize them for me? haha

[tomazws]

lol..... it looks ugly, but that's a pretty good job on the converting

[Ryu3x16]

I saw that same car a while back on the 710S! looks pretty good i guess

[lagos]

dont know what pics everyone is looking at, but the ones i see are a horrible job! you can see uneven cuts and it dosnt look like the trunk closes right.

same thing i was thinking....

[LewFX]

lagos, where in el monte, i work in south el monte, off of santa anita, and elliot.

[Ryu3x16]

uhhhh....he's in philly,bro

[Jaws4God]

I think it is a start... figured if they took all the time to mount those, you think they'd finish it to look good... but I am still not sure why spend so much time on the back conversions yet do nothing for the front or side...

[Blakout16]

could be a working progress - duh.

[dustin15brown]

ehh it'll look nice when it's done

[Consynx]

the sly-guy put the reflectors on the rear like a supra has...
smart thinking

[MonsterBOX]

ugly car dented up trashy wheels and paint and uneven rear end but if it was dont properly it wuld look badass

[celicaracer18]

yeah i've seen worse but thats not convincing me to do it, i think i'm just gonna black out my stockers and leave it be.

[tomazws]

I don't get why they tried so hard to convert their car into another.... Why not just sell the Celica, use that money plus the money that person's gonna waste on converting, and buy himself a Supra!?!??

The worst I've seen is converting a Honda Accord into a Toyota Camry...



But then, we try so hard trying to convert our lovely American STs and GTs into SS-III and GT-4s...

i converted to supra headlights....doesn't mean i want a supra
0re0 converted to supra tails.......doesn't mean he wasnts a supra

we just want sumthing different.....my god i sick of people saying why do that when you can buy a supra?

coverting = 427$ for headlights and 30$ in materials
supra = (98 TT) 60,000$

tell me does that add up no thanks shut up now

[lagos]

i want a supra

[JoKeRkId613]

supra's dont sell for that much here. nowhere near 60gs. more like 15-35k. even the 98 tt. i agree with plyr tho. i hate when ppl say that too. it looks kinda cool because you think it's a supra, but then you get closer and see the front or back(dependeing on what part they converted), and you're like "oh s h i t! thats cool!" lol. it's happened to me before. ive got curren tails. my conversion wasnt that expensive haha. unique is cool but in my opinion, i think the pic of that white car is ugly. i dont like it.

[celicaracer18]

yeah for real, people don't do conversions becasue they want the car they are getting parts off of, a stock supra is not going to get any points at a show, but nice conversion of supra tails or headlights on a celica is going to get alot of points. the ones int the pic might not get a whole lot but hey he tried, which is more than i can say for like over 70% of the people on this site. and no offense was intened by that comment so don't be a dick and act like it was.

[playr158]

i think his conversion was a little sloppy looking because

when he cut his hatch he missed his template and the curve was just slightly higher then he anticipated...novice mistake
other wise i think he did it just right....

placement is in the correct place if you base it from 0re0

he didn't sit them too low, he didn't use a celica rear bumper, he didn't angle

he just has 1 mistake

edit: i don't think is hatch was closed all the way either

i get ur pt. but i donno, to me it's kinda weird lookin at a celica that looks like a supra

[Consynx]

Lagos wants the speed factor of the Supra

[BlackCelicaGT94]

A decent supra will run u 40,000 mainly cuz of the demand for them..

I would never buy a supra at 15 - 20k...itd be a POS!

I think if u do the conversions in good taste then go for it!

Thats not true. You can find decent Supra's for around $20,000. A lot them sell around $25,000. Some I've seen has gone as low as $15,000. Sure, a lot of those might be automatics, but still. If you ask me, there aren't a lot of Supra's out there that are a POS.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

well we must live in different spots. but thats what nice TT stick supras do run!


I searched for Supras 75 miles away from me with no price range and found only 1 under 30,000 dollars


The most expensive was near 70,000 dollars
