if you want a nice looking-non rice car- DO NOT get afterburners. get JDMs, or do the oreo supra style rear mod. I have not seen any supra tail light only mods that look good...if you're gonna do the tails go balls out and do the rear bumper too...I mean just look at it. check these links out

dont dump your plans completely because of what other people say. take the suggestions and compromise maybe...its your car do what you want
the front may be too much trouble and not work well but i think you should go for the rear cause you know it can be done well...the supra lights and rear bumper...the oreo way and it would turn more heads being half supra half celica anyway...you could get the old CelicaSupra badges personally, i like the celica the way it is and wouldnt change it but id kill for a supra -------------------- |

yea i agree with steff...don't change your plans because of wat people on this site say...after all we don't know everything
if you like the way it looks personally i think a mini supra would look great! the rear and front have both been done before, just never on the same car....but always always do wat you want and think looks good not wat other people think |

I am glad i asked you guys about the work and what to do. I am going to drop the supra conversion idea whole i would do a varis arising front bumper and sideskirts...if u REALLY want that supra look...do an Oreo Supra rear conversion with some kinda rear extension. get some projectors. thats what id do -------------------- Note to new members.

just remember this. it's your car, you're doing the work and you're the one that has to live with the direction you go with it. Personally I am going to do the Oreo supra rear, CF hatch, CF roof(yes ROOF), CF hood, zyclone front modified a tad, and maybe some TRD OEM sides.and of couse projectors with black or hyper black wheels to set it all off

this is my friends car, he is currently away at boot camp but he just painted it from the green to this blue:
![]() here is the green ![]() i like the oreo way better, but the tilt is kinda cool on my friends lights, but i dont like how he tilted his license plate. PS: he bought it like this i agree with the others above^ its your car, do what you want, but its nice to get ideas from everyone else's opinions. Just take all the things you like from every other car and make your car how you want it This post has been edited by jcbass7: Jun 23, 2006 - 5:44 PM |

yikes, i guess everyones entitled to do what they want with their cars, but im not a fan of the tilted look... They look out of place, and almost upside down or something. Im just not a fan of the supra tails even on the supra, to me the JDM tails option just looks way better. Even doing some circular LEDs at the most extreme. I would like to see a supra-ish conversion though.... i say go for it, worst comes to worst , it doesnt work!

I would say in this order:
Go Supra Tails Go JDM Celica Tails (really don't understand what the hype is with these. They don't look all that much different, but to each his own.) Stay Stock Afterburners I put afterburners last just because I think they look nasty. It's not even that they're "rice" more, they just break up the lines of the rear end. A good Supra conversion looks SHARP if done well. |

take this into consideration as well....your cars downtime. factor in ho9w long it will take you do do the whole supra rear. If your celica is your daily driver you might want to put it on hold and do the LED rings. these are my plans(im not telling you to do this but just giving ideas) get a can of transparent red paint, paint the tails all red(i have a red car do it hsould look nice), and do the LED mod and leave that in until i get enough cash flow/ parts/time to fo the supra rear. and I agree with zac on this one too...afterburners are ....the suck to be honest
