Hey guys I came across this site and its pretty informative and stuff. Im looking to get my first car soon and I was looking into a 6th gen celica preferably a stick gt. Hopefully I can get one and then become a regular poster on here and you guys are really knowledgeable.

My name is June and I live in torrance I go to a community college so it sucks not having a car haha. I like the whole look of the 6th gen esp. the front its like a supra. I was looking at this one and I was wondering what some of you guys thought about it. Seems to have gotten its front bumper replaced which means it might have been in an accident which couldve messed with the engine area? even though it says clean title.. I might check it out with a friend but I dont really want to waste his time driving over there to find a piece of junk. Thanks for the help guys

thats a gt-four front bumper, the bonnet is stock.

the bonnet will be very hard to open because the bumper is raised in the middle so when the stock bonnet pops up there wont be much space to stick ur fingers under.

if you get a gt-four bonnet to match you'll have a problem again with the latch being too low and needing to be extended otherwise it could fly up when driving.

dont let these things deter you, this would have been a project the last owner didn't get around to completing. Just use your DIY skills.

But look at the first pic, the bumper seems to be flush with the hood...then again, it looks a bit faded so he might've done some work to it to make it flush?
