is it just me?, or do the body kits kinda ruit it? Options

[Serhey]

I absolutely love the body and style of the celica, but i really hate most bodykits besides the gt4, the only thing i would do to my car is put the rear splitters on and find a really small front lip from a different car. i just think the celica has a really bubbly and round body style which is great but most the kits are too sharp and edgy. again just a personal opinion, i dont want to offend anybody with a body kit

I kinda agree with you - many of the body kits spoil the lines of the Celica and the GT4 look is one of the best looks for the Celica. But I also kinda agree with yarik83.

One example - I hate the look of Celicas without any side skirts. Almost any side skirt is better than none. I also think we are fortunate to have such a range of bodykits with new products still popping up occassionally (10-15 years after the cars rolled off the production line).

Work out what you like and do that. The euro splitters are a simple and subtle addition to the front. You could paint them the same colour as the bodywork as some have done on here, for a more unique look. Or you have the Toms lip or JDM splitters for a slightly more agressive stance.

As an alternative to the rear JDM splitters, there are a couple of different limited edition Toyota option rear one-peice splitters that are quite subtle. One was an euro option, the other was a New Zealand/Australia option.

For the tailgate, take a look at the Celicas without a spoiler at all, those with the (doggy?) duckbill spoiler. Then there is the two-post with no risers, with euro 1/2 height risers or with the GT-4 full-height risers (the later with no graphics, with GT4 graphics or with SS-III graphics - or of course something of your own design). Or the facelift 3-post spoiler.
