molded supra taillights, is it even possible? Options

[boosted95]

has anyone tried to mold the celica to accept supra tails? i love the look of the supra, but quite frankly i just cant afford to buy or even maintain a supra. and secondly, what are the dementions of a supra?

could a supra bumper be heavily modified with fiberglass to fit a celica

Yup, a few people have. Try a search on this board and you'll find them. It is quite difficult to get it to look right on the Celica and needs quite a lot of custom fab. work so won't be cheap. The existing taillight recesses have to be changed in shape and depth, the numberplate holder needs to be modified. If you want to get the look right, you also need to modify your bootlid (hatch) and the interior boot trim.

could a supra bumper be heavily modified with fiberglass to fit a celica

Yes, but it does require heavy modification. It is too wide, so you have to chop a bit out of the middle and rejoin as well as fibreglass the sides to tie in with the Celica rear quarters. Oreo's car also has the Supra rear bumper IIRC.

oh yeah its been done! there are different ways people have done it some of which i dont like anyway...my favorite is oreo

[playr158]

Man i really think if my rear looked like that it would sooooooooo add to a very very sick flow of a curren front end

[goferris]

dang that looks good. all the others i have seen i wasn't a big fan of but that looks awesome. good job oreo

[KaJuN]

for a second, i thought you just posted a picture of a supra, lol. Man that looks clean

[goferris]

for a second, i thought you just posted a picture of a supra, lol. Man that looks clean

i know, that's what i thought at first. it is one of my favorite celi pics now

[daazndood]

thats the only picture of 0reo's car i have ever seen. why doesnt he take more pictures for us? did something happen? if i ever did something as beautiful as that i would show many pictures to everyone

[DSToyo]

im pretty sure it got totalled a while ago... it is to bad cause that is realy the only pic ive seen of his car and its a pretty crappy pic. but that conversion is by far the best imo

[forkee]

man this is totally deja vu. i remember this thread, with someone asking bout the lights, then oreo's pic, then someone saying how they thought it was a supra, then asking for more pics, then someone saying it was totalled.....then i looked at the date and its all recently posted.....scary....

[daazndood]

its totalled? so its gone now? forever?!?!??! all we got was one picture?!?!? wat the heck

[neKronos]

Back in 06 i think.

shazzamm...


im pretty sure he never got around to finishing it. the reason it looks good is cause the lights are up higher than most people put them and he molded a supra bumper on there to...by far the best looking conversion and i wish i could have seen it done

[j0e_p3t]

^ i remember those pics. sucks it got totalled. that was the sexiest supra taillight/rear bumper conversion ever. he also had the uber rare trd front bumper, but luckily it wasn't on the car when it got totalled.

[Shocker]

dang that looks good. all the others i have seen i wasn't a big fan of but that looks awesome. good job oreo

thats also a very good photoshop.. I love how they made the wheels look like their actually on the car

[Hanyo]

oreo's if it ever got finished was one of the best looking celica's i've ever seen.

He also had the RARE trd front bumper with projectors.

I sure he gets another celica.

[Daftboy]

have not seen him on in forever....

[boosted95]

anybody dare me to do it?

[DSToyo]

^are you skilled enough???

[playr158]

psh i'll do it...just because i'm bored

sooo tempting

i could also get hdlight + tails for 200 and make a mini supra.....i know someone has a spare celica laying around......evil evil evil

[95CelicaST]

Maybe on another Celica, Dan. Yours has gone through enough swaps.. lets focus on getting it up and running

[playr158]

yea but i have a feeling supra tails + rear would flow better with curren front ?

[DSToyo]

itd be like 3 cars in one i think it would be pretty cool if its done right

[95CelicaST]

Maybe, but how much modification needs to be done to the Supra rear end to fit? I am sure it is a whole lot wider than ours. It would need to have a large portion cut from the middle and FG'd back together.

[playr158]

psh FAWK u and your stock width.....widebody FTW

come on now why would i build a sick car and NOT put a widebody on it? thats like....a sin in my book

[95CelicaST]

a good reason is money, or the lack thereof.

If you have the time to develop it, then do so. I noticed the M3 front end is a little too wide for the front, so if you have the time and money the please do. I would like to see it.

widebody RHD curren-supra conversion with lambo doors and engine swap.... thats a good name.

lol he said noob.

that's pretty funny, kettle. or are you the tea pot?

[devilsden97]

whoa. idk if people are joking or serious, but cool it. because playr has made some pretty nice things,(aka CF wrapped trunk for coupe) and some pretty scary things. (aka the suprica) but its people like him who think "outside the box" that keep the tuner culture moving forward and developing new ideas. Some of the ideas ur like "WTF?!" but after there done, and u see them its like, "wow..." thats when u insert foot into own mouth.


as for the actual topic, oreo was the only one that had a good conversion. Ive seen a few others but Oreo, by far was the best. The conversion is alot of time, and money. If your looking for something different, and have the time, and the money to devote to it, go for it, just if your going to, dont do a half ass job, be paitient and make something nice.

[purplegt4]

ok yea. i'm only joking. i admit it. its a no-va thing!

ok back to the topic.

[SoundSlut_dotcom]

did someone say wide? :X

thanks for the insult very mature dude, you should be more receptible toward critics, especially when you post stuff like that front end conversion, you're the one looking like a "n00b" with bodywork, looks like you have pretty big shoe to fill-in after your comments.

gt4 bandwagon??? theres probably under 10 cars looking like mine in Canada, and I've seen more people modling supra tailights behing their car than gt4 conversions fyi.

If you want to joke around do it respectfully, I was kidding, but you took it the wrong way.

[celi_gt_racer]

gawd ... havent heard from soundslut in a long min - hope his bodywork ends soon, and we get 2 see his final product

[boosted95]

does anyone know the width of the supra bumper? how much needs cut out of the middle to come close to the celica body?

[playr158]

supra bumpers are
THIIIIS MUCH WIDER....


in the front so expect something similar in the rear



damn i hate it when i buy noob OEM toyota bodywork
i should smack the dealer!
Canada u need a tissue?

if i bought the supra tailights would their be ne1 in jersey pa area willing to do the install and will do nice clean work?

[Daftboy]

Good luck with that.... Its not even worth trying...

[2slow2nervous]

anything is worth trieng one time. I dont kno if i would like it or if it can be done unless i try. Plus u will most likly not see it on another celica around us. I like to be diff.

[G3D45]

One more 6gen Celica-Supra

[doGGy]

^One of the ugliest rear end on 6gc... Sorry i had to say this...

OreO style - or dont do it at all

[daazndood]

if you wanna do a supra tailight conversion, you must use a supra bumper becuase the back is more flat. celica bumpers have the bulge in the botton and the conversion will not look right no matter where you put the lights.

[DSToyo]

i think this one was pretty well done, but nothing compares to oreos....if you dont do the supra bumper with it, youd be better off not doing the conversion at all.

[jcaron9gt4]

^^^ reminds me of an alien for some odd reason

[boosted95]

what sections need cut out of the supra bumper to fit? i was guessing the middle, but then you would have liscense plate issues*

[j0e_p3t]

i remember seeing that. i don't like the angled lights and plate.

One more 6gen Celica-Supra

hate it.



supra tails only work with the bumper. the only other non-celica tail lights that seem to flow with a celi rear are the s2k tails.

i have mixed feelings but man if you're going to mold new lights, good god go for the s2k's those are wicked nice looking. i hate our tails

[snapshotgt]

A Supra is a Supra, a Celica is a Celica. They need to be left this way.

THat has to be the most riceyest 6gc on this site!!!!!

[Akira_g4]

i think if the owner didnt angle it and it was straight, it wouldnt look too bad

[DSToyo]

^ x2, its obviously a show car, if he hadn't angled it those lights would look tremendously better. i was just saying that it looks like he did good work all, the molding and fitting looks like it was well done. also x2 on the s2000 tails, i remember that car, those look sick.

how bout these?

i think thats jesterwr217 car...

quick were did i put my sledge hammer......

[Negative]

^ ^
Oreo's and the S2K one's are the only ones I like out of all of those. I especially hate the angled liscense plate.

[Daftboy]

jesterwr217 car is ummm.....different. I don't like it at all...but I mean beauty is in the eye of the beholder....*hurl*......

PS does he have a shot of it with the lift closed...also maybe would have been better if the car was not red.

[phokur]

A good comparison between the two:


I have a 6gc and a mkiv. Honestly, I like parts of the celica more than the supra. I mean hands down, supra ftmfw. But I love the celica's interior, weight, handling, awd capability, and 3sgte possibility; but the sleek style of the supra is still unsurpassed. I think an Oreo tail conversion with a mkiv trd widebody fabricated (to widen up the front end so the headlights don't look huge) and supra headlights would be the ultimate street machine.

[NaderG]

Thoose s2k lights actually look great ! so how hard it is to mold new lights ? how much would they cost if done at a shop ?

[devilsden97]

lmao this pic makes me think the supra wants to get away from its slower younger brother!
lol why dont you park them right next to each other?

[jcbass7]

HAHA the angled plate one is my friend from high school he bought it from the member that posted with her before...

I personally don't like it nor do i like the angled plate!!! too rice for me (the plate)

[Sinyk]

how bout these?

i think thats jesterwr217 car...

Reminds me too much of the 4 round lights on a Chevy Impala. Not exact of course, but close enough that it was the first thing I thought of when I saw them.




The S2000 ones look alright, but I still think the JDM Celica tails look just fine on our cars.

haha, that's before I got mine. I was terrified if I got too close the owner would come out and kill me. He parked as far away from the other cars as possible.
