I visited this site a while back, and I thought I saw a Celica topic to convert it to a Supra. I do not intend on having the same body... engine.. or interior features as the Supra, but I want to have a look a like. I own a 1994 Toyota Celica ST, sadly the AT200 frame.

My plans intend to (and if someone with an idea they believe is better, please tell me.) I want this to replicate a supra. Money is of no problem.

Supra Tail Lights (Afterburners)
Body Kit (one that is made for Supras also
3S-GTE Engine Swap
Supra Designed Rims?
Spoiler
Headlight Conversion

I tried and tried going through the forums looking for a topic like this one because I hate to repeat someone, so if I can be redirected to save time, that would be great. If anything I don't want to get flamed... i just need some help or advice to get started. I checked the site on the Engine Swap, saw its not going to be perfect, but I believe I got the garage and tools needed, just any kind of help or link would be great. Ty

Go with the engine swap, leave the exterior mods to be -- let a supra be a supra, and a celica be a celica. Converting tails/head lights will look really, really riced out if you do not do it right, and chances are you won't do it right. EDIT: Don't take this post as flaming --> just laying it out for you in a direct way.

i agree.

but if you do the supra taillight conversion, plz put it up more where the "supra" curve is. ton of people put it where the celica taillights are and it looks silly. imho, supra headlights are too big. stick with the stock celica and get projectors. GL
