Hey guys, I'm new here.
 I'm in the market for a sixth gen Celica soon, and since I'm just one ferry-ride away from the UK (I'm from Holland), I'm thinking about importing a GT4. There's just one thing I really can't seem to adapt to; the GT4's front bumper. I just don't like the hole in the middle. I know it has its purpose, but what I wanna know is this: Does a normal bumper from any 6th gen N/A Celica (facelift or pre facelift) fit on a GT4 without too much hassle, and does it have a significant impact on performance (like airflow)? I hope you guys can help me out! Regards, Michael |

yea, the intercooler won't clear as well on stock hood, so the idea is more hassle than fix.
Even if you wanted to, the hood can cost up to 500, the front bumper 150-300 depends on condition, crash bar, frame rails, fogs (if needed), turn signals, time, paint, labor, and shipping will be more money. bumper foam, fasteners, radiator support (regular is lower), (latch adjustment if necessary), i mean to do it legitimately, is a lot of work and money for pretty much no gain from it all.
