Make my '95 look "newer?", '98+ and GT4 stylings on my '95 ST? Options

[supaneko]

Amazingly enough, I saw another Celica in a parking lot last night. I took a look at it and it obviously was newer than mine. My stylings and year factoids are likely a little weaker compared to some of you pro's out there. SOOO... I was looking for some assistance on what I can do to "upgrade" the appearance of my '95 ST.

I love the look of the GT4 and am a little bit of a fan at how the newer 6gen Celicas look. Now, what differences are there between say a '95 and a '99? It looks like the sideskirts are bit stylish with their bends and "stripes" and what not. Can these be applied to a '95? Are there any other noticeable changes in the '99 when compared to a '95?

This leads me to my next wonder, and it may be a bit broad, but I figure I'd shoot for it anyway: what upgrades have been made on the '94 and '95 to make it look more modern and just more "cool?" I've seen the GT4 hood, which is great but is it really worth the $2000+ for just the front end? What "reasonable" bodykits/ground effects kits look great with these cars (you know, ones that allow the Celica to still look like a Celica but at the same time helps to make it a 'car of your own')?

Ground effects? Body kits? Hoods? Lighting? ...Other? ....Pictures?

I actually got it from a mr2 guy who didn't care about his celica he had for a month or so....had some chips but I repaired them. You're looking at about $80 to $200 for them (depends on the person who sells them).

I did my installations myself. Remove the bottom bolts that are holding the front bumper and align the splitter to your liking. If they came pre-drilled like mine check the holes and where the bolts go in to see if they match. If not, like myself, you gotta mark the spot and drill it, you may have to widen the holes to where the bolts go. Once in place step back and enjoy the new look. Applies to all 94-95 and 96-99.

My old 94 had all wheel abs it's available on all models.

But in reference, I like the facelift with splitters or front lip kit.

I was gonna do an update too, but these were on craigslist and over many hours of contemplating I bought them.

Hey ZGear - very much like what you've done.
Just one thing - surprised you didn't go for/do the clear indicators?

I have yet to decide on that.....maybe 2009
