Ummm...yea!

Also you have two post btw.

[CelicaST94]

[95st-celica]

certin angles they do look alike..but if your not to fimular with cars im sure you could get them mixed up espically if your badgless...the supra is a much bigger car....but other then the headlights and tail lights...yea they look alike

[Shink]

From that angle, yeah, they're similar.

From every other angle, they're a lot less similar, IMHO. Same 'shape' I guess, but the composition and relative size of the sections is very different.

You'd be suprised how many amateurs come up to me when they look at my car from the rear from a distance and ask me "is that a supra?" or "ohh ****, look--a supra!" Anyway, remember that member ore0, who lived in Hawaii, and did the supra tail light conversion, I've noticed that a lot of people think that he has a supra rear, as a matter of fact everybody--HE DOESN'T! it is a celica hatch rear, and I've already figured out every detail exterior-wise how he did it and what he had to do, i had to compare and stare every little detail and improvise the measurements. i took a picture of the same angle as he did and did the comparisons, and have a basic concept/idea of what to do to do the same crazy mod as he did.

In my perspective, he:
- Took his celica tail lights out and pushed out the metal frame that housed the lights and bondo'd the holes.
- He shaved the emblems and badges off and raised the supra tails a bit higher than where the celica tails went and positioned them closer into the center so it rear quarter panels woul flare out more giving it a more "supra" look thus having to cut the trunk a bit.
- He shaved the license plate area or possibly removed it completely
- He must've cut the frame and either custom did his rear bumper or got a supra rear bumper and cut it short to be able to fit the celica's width and made new holes and a way to cut the frame/sauder the frame to hold and reinforce the bumeper and molded it with the rear quarter panels.

There is much, much more than what i just listed out, those are just a couple of the most obvious features of the mod but i actually made the designs on paper and ideas of things to apply, but i'm quite determined to do this mod as ore0 had attempted, it's too bad that he crashed his car and doesn't sign on 6gc no more atleast i'm not aware of. But I won't be attempting this mod until perhaps summer or longer if any financial issues arise because this won't be a cheap thing to do.

I'm actually afraid to attempt this mod becaues whether i do it myself or bring it to a shop or my mechanic friends, its the cutting-the-frame part that scares me because i'll have one chance and one chance only to not mess up, because having to fix the frame can be quite dangerous and unstable as well. Hence, the reason why many people don't tend to keep their car after a severe car accident involving frame damage.

If i ever do attempt it, i'll make a personal thread for it and keep everyone posted with pictures ofcourse. =]

p.s. If any of you have the same idea, you CAN get the trd wing and still be able to do it because it won't affect the top part of the trunk--giving you once again, a more "supra-ish" look.

when i always cruised around with my buddy, when we stopped he would say "when you got a bit of distance from me, it looks like a sweet supra driving around" lol


so i guess at a distance, it does lol

[808celica]

he never said your car looked bad, so why attack how his car looks?

BACK TO THE TOPIC.
i think to the untrained eye our cars kinda look like supra's.
but to us 6gcr's we know better

[x_itchy_b_x]

when I went to a Mc Dona Lds, the drive thru guy was all " hows the supra treating ya" Response "great"

haha too funny. Sometimes its best to say yea and walk away.!!

[GriffGirl]

I can see how one body style was inspired by the other perhaps, but yeah, they're similar but really they are different. (so I voted "indifferent" because that was the closest to "sorta" )

I got the same thing at a gas station a while back; the guy was like Woah! Is that a SUPRA!? I don't know if he was excited that he thought it was a Supra or that a chick was driving it. When I told him it was a Celica, he was like Wow, that's a really nice car! And I'm thinking of everyone's car on here and how mine really pales in comparison and if he could only see the potential of our LOVELY SEXY ASS CARS!

[Celicam8]

I prefer Celica... if I remember Celica is Sister car to Supra...

[Rusty]

one of the easier ways to tell the difference is the location of the muffler (FWD is on the right RWD is on the left...AWD/4WD I get confused)

could you fit a stock supra(mid 90's) spoiler onto our 6gen's? because that would complete the look :L

what if you have a dual

[CelicaSTX02]

Celica = mini Supra

[GER-CELI]

[playr158]

combine the two...

[cjh4l22]

yea i think so. and some ppl have stopped me and said 'nice supra' ha! it was great...

[ImportChick95]

No, I don't think so.

[bslik]

i never thought of it myslef but people tell me my car looks like a supra. when i first got my celica my neighbor came over, examined it and said very nicely "hmmmm, looks very similar to a supra" then the other day i was driving through an unfamiliar neighborhood and out of a group of kids playing on the side of the road i hear "woahh! a supra!" even in the crappy condition my car was in at the time

[Rusty]

what if you have a dual

...easy you have a MR. nahh I don't know about that

I'm starting to get a head ache with those pics ^^

[illneversellmyce...]

i just tell everyone look at the headlights. even tho player158 is the exception.

i personally like our 4 headlights so much better then the enclosed ones of a supra

if they were a little more enlarged so they could look mean!!
damn that would be nice!!!!!

[supra12big]

supras bodys are just flat out amazing for the year, they are my fav cars, and i would do nothing but lower them as for body, and build the motor to my 1000+hp limits, would be a nice dream

Supras got the better tails but we got better Headlights [especially if you count the projectors]. Supras IMO are too long but I dig the wideness. My dream shape I guess:
6gc projectors, Supra Tails, Supra Width and Celica length - now that would be a beautiful car

[st18]

yea i think they are a like both beautiful cars and even know the celica came first they discribe the 6gc as a supra esk body style i think from the door handle up i could see it

[tin_foil]

The interiors are quite similar as well.

[ZEROCOOL]

everybody gets my car confused wit a supra all da time.

[Shigexile]

if you know cars then the celica won't look too much like the supra

[crismillencolin]

I just sold my GT for a TT and my neighbour (Old guy) thought i had just had my celica re-sprayed !

[Turbotone]

I cant wait to become an " old guy "
at the end of the day, the celica does look like a baby supra
from certain angles, and covering parts with your hand. they look identical.
i cant remember what forum it was on but, a few years ago, i found some photos
of my " 4 " at Bolney, with the title "Supra" ........so i guess it must be so

and to be fair, im not 100% on my headlights, i think they would look better if they had a
clear cover over them, (like on an E-Type) following the lines .
and the supra is the only car that comes close to its looks, if i didnt have my "4" id defo have a
Phat Supra
