I'd say go Curren, it'd fit with no problems and it'd flow with the car better.

I've found front clips before, but expect to pay upwards of $1,000.

The Curren didn't come with a 3S-GTE, but you can't tell me someone in Japan hasn't swapped one into a Curren. It's not like you couldn't custom fabricate something. I'm not sure about you, but I rather fabricate a hood to work versus the entire front end.

Curren front ends with out the lower lip look like a 94-97 Honda Accord. Looks terrible with the shape of the body. They ONLY look good with lips IMO.
   The ST206 is not intended to be on a hatch body and doesn't flow well. If you have a coupe, go for it. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles.

It looks better with the lip, but it's not bad without. Certainly better looking than an Accord. I always wanted to put the Curren front onto my liftback, I think it'd look really snazzy. That and it'd be different and unique, so that's always a plus. To me the GT-Four front is a little much, unless you have the GT-Four engine to back it up.

I've always seen our celicas and integras front end being similar. The 4 eyed and the curren/jdm front end. Lol.

Integras are beady eyed, it makes me want to punch them. The Celica is a much nicer looking car, regardless of which face the Integra has.

Go Caldina if your really that dead set, comitted, and can afford it. Would be worth seeing in IMO and it's something you can call your own and it's different which is always a win. And the Curren front end looks way better on a hatch than a coupe IMO, lol. Still waiting on playr158 to finish his swap
 or anyone else to post a completed swap if done.

The Curren is the same as the Celica coupe and the convertible is the same body as the coupe, would look pretty good I'd imagine.
