GT4 Front End Options

[bojangles_8686]

What do you guys think? Now that I have a job I can actually save up money for this. I went to my Toyota dealership a while ago and they said for all the parts they can get it would be around $1100 shipped.

[Andason]

i say go for it. though i personally would not do this, you sound interested in it so i say do it.

[bojangles_8686]

[celicarocker]

cuz he's po prolly....

who in their right mind would say "no" to a thread like this...

if i could save up the money (living on your own sucks down too much money to do something like this) id be all about it.... its better than any bodykit we can get.....

Since you want US to make the decision for YOU... I say... keep your car stock... then you won't have such a hard time deciding on what to do to your car... Just my $0.02...

[bojangles_8686]

Im going to do it regardless of what everybody on here wants i was just asking how many of you think it would look good

[Pvc99gT]

dude. asking if the GT-4 front end looks good or if people like it are perhaps the most trite of questions. a vast majority of us like it and think it looks good.
dont get me wrong bojangles, im behind ya all the way and i think ur a pretty cool guy, but a better post would've been "**** YEA! GETTIN THE GT-4 FRONT END!" i dunno, i think that has a better ring to it.

and that po comment is just stupid. i know a few cops and some of them have the meanest cars you've ever seen. they were actually incorporating them into their work, drivin around in their cars while on duty and trying to race ppl then flipping on lights. then they got ****ed for entrapment, so they dont do that anymore. either way, **** the police.

[Digndoug]

I say do it.. only because i would like to se on in person.. an your in MD.. I personally dont want to.. I like the the way the car looks with out anything.. maybe just a front lip for me.. concidering i have to repaint my front anyways... I can mold it.. but DO IT!!

[presure2]

well if thats what you WANNA do....then do it, man...dont ask me tho, i'm biased..
manny

[BlackCelicaGT94]

yes and be sure to go thru someone other than toysport

;-)

[orvillescelica]

if the only options are GT4 look or stock, everyone is going to say GT4... What are the other options? Are you interested in any other kit?

[celicarocker]

[bojangles_8686]

[lagos]

the gt4 look is the hot ****...just look at my, pressure2, BlackCelicaGT94 profiles and make your decision.

i think the best part about getting the gt4 look, is that its not a cheap fiberglass kit...its oem, so its a good investment.

[bojangles_8686]

Where did all you with the gt4 look done where did you get your missing parts?

[celicarocker]

i want to get a hatch and do this... i dont think its worth it doing it to a coupe

[bojangles_8686]

damn now that I look at it..... I want to paint my car black too it looks so damn sleek with the gt4 front end


can somebody photoshop the gt4 front onto my car with some stock sideskirts? and then make my car black with the same stuff?

[celicarocker]

man... look at mannys (presure2) car.... white is a billion times better than black... sorry art, yours kicks ass though too..... but i LOVE white cars...

[presure2]

what i would do is take the pt# list down to your local toyota dealer...see what parts he can get for ya..(they can get most of them, except the vents.)the get the vents and turns ect from toyotaworld...and like nat said...anyone but toysport!!

[bojangles_8686]

Thats what I am going to do today, actually i got my dad to call but i havent heard from him yet. I did a parts search on toyotaworld and they dont have the hood bulge on their parts database, I am waiting for an email from them for everything else.

[presure2]

dont worry they can get the bulge... ...if your not getting the fogs, i suggest getting the little grills that go in the fog light holes, it looks much better with them in. here are the pt #s
53112-20240 lower radiator grill RH
53113-20180 lower radiator grill LH

manny

[bojangles_8686]

How much do those cost? And can I get them at the dealership?

[presure2]

i think theyre about 20-30 ea...toyotaworld can get them..

[BlackCelicaGT94]

[bojangles_8686]

My dad called the dealership.. they quoted him 1121.05 for everything but the 3 hood vents and the turn signals... so with those fog light grilles it will be around 1180... how much would it be for the turn signals and vents? Someone told me last night that it would be around $200 or $300 for the vents, but how about the turn signals?

[Magic]

[celicarocker]

[bojangles_8686]

I am gonna start saving up with my next paycheck. I dont make that much so it will take a while to get everything but it will definitley be worth it in the end. I am gonna order all the parts I can get from the dealership then I will worry about the other stuff when I have the money.

I know I just brought this topic back from the dead but I am still planning on doing this and actually have a front end lined up and all I need is a few hundred more dollars, it has everything but the two grills on the front bumper and the metal piece with the rubber that goes in between the hood and bumper, does anyone know where I can get that piece?

[bojangles_8686]

Nevermind... found it

[Einhander]

i got all my pieces but the turn signals through local toyota dealership for under 1000, either i am lucky or i've ordered enough parts through them to get a good discount.

[uzthedentist]

My 2p, put on the c-one or the varis front bumper on, it will make your car a lot more aggressive, without making it look like something it isnt., and not many people will have it so youll have the rarity value. Putting a GT4 front end isnt so bad if you have a 3sgte conversion but if youre doing it for looks only then youre just as bad as those honda 'rice boys' that put a 'type r' sticker on the side of their 1.4litre civic

[bojangles_8686]

I am planning on doing the 3sgte in the future so it will eventually have the power to back up the looks.

And I am getting everything except the two grilles and rubber things for $800 shipped, and I got a $180 quote for those parts shipped

[uzthedentist]

Right but until then which will probably take a while youll have a car that looks like a gt4 which has a 0-60 of 9 and is fwd.

Im not having a go at you but using the cumulative definitions people have made on this board that is pure rice.

Its akin to:
Putting a type r sticker on a 1.4 l civic
Putting an evo front on a lancer so it looks like an evo
Putting an sti bonnet on a subaru impreza sport (na)
Putting GT4 raiser blocks on a non-gt4 so at high speed you create drag and downforce to the rear (non-driving) wheels


Dont do it mate really

[ComaDave]

First of all, go for it man.
Second of all, putting the GT4 front on a USDM Celi isn't rice. The GT4 is the ultimate evolution of the Celica and us poor schmucks in the US never got it. So in order to reach the peak in Celica design we have to go through the trouble of importing the parts and installing them. Ricers just buy parts for models that are already available in the US because they don't want to pony up for the real thing. We can't get the real thing (or it's nearly impossible), so we have to rely on kits and mods to approximate the GT4. For many, including mysef it is the first step toward a swap, or even a full conversion.

ComaDave

[bojangles_8686]

I understand your opinion uz but I agree with comadave. I dont think people will think my car to be rice at all when they see that it has gt4 stuff, I think they will like it a lot and aknowledge that is a rarity in the U.S. And not to mention, it just looks hellagood

[uzthedentist]

Isnt rice doing modifications to your car to make it look faster when its still hella slow?

[bojangles_8686]

Regardless of the definition we all dont have access to real gt4's, just like comadave said, so why not try to make it look just as good?

[SlowCelica94]

People with GSR's put type R front lips, and side skirts, ect. on their car all the time. And 240's put silvia fronts on their cars too. But then again, i think u have the better engine (3s, or sr20) its no biggy.

[Manta5x]

go for it, just be very careful when and where you drive, because if your GT4 hood or bumper gets damaged you'll have to go back to your stock hood and bumper.

[bojangles_8686]

Ive heard some other things that have to be done when you get the gt4 stuff, like extend your hood latch and cut the bar behind the bumper?

This post has been edited by bojangles_8686: Jul 20, 2004 - 11:24 PM

[presure2]

yup you'll need to extend your stock latch about 1/2 inch, and your rebar will basicly need to be cut to half its thickness to fit...

[ComaDave]

Actually you just need to cut the front corners off the bumper. This picture isn't exact but it's close. I just got a metal-cutting blade for my circular saw to cut it.


And this is what my hoodlatch looks like... I don't remember the exact measurement, I found it here on the board though.
