MY CELICA IS A 1996 MODEL !, With pre-face lift and a 3-post spoiler :( Options

[MrAyasli]

I don't know, I think I actually prefer the 94-95 pre-facelift bumper. I think the pre-facelift + JDM foglights is far cooler than the 96-99 bumper.


However the Tom's lip is an option, as well as SS-III splitters.... Well maybe I'll grow to like my new bumper...


OP - You can score a set of tail lights from eBay or the Toyota dealer. As for clear side markers I would send a PM to Wolfie. He makes clear lenses for your pre-facelift turn signals, and I think he also does clear Euro/JDM side indicator lenses.

Can you find out if you can get me clear indicators?
Ship to Australia as well.

Thanks guys!


It's a Celica SX
2.2L 5S-FE

Whats the difference with my engine and American 3S-FE's or whatever.

USDM market didn't get anything but 7A-FE and 5S-FE.

Hey guys, just wanted to confirm with all of you that my car is a 1996 model

BUT it has a pre-face lift bumper and a 3-post spoiler, so yeah. Looks like it may have been damaged or something.

You know, I was actually just thinking about that last night. All of the '96 models were SUPPOSED to have all the updates, but.. I have personally owned a '96 model coupe with the facelift bumper but no skirts and the prefacelift 2 post wing. Both of those could have been because it was a coupe though. One of my brother's friends has a '96 hatch with the facelift bumper and 3 post spoiler, but no skirts like it's supposed to have. 96stgreendemon's car has the prefacelift bumper and spoiler, meaning it's either not a '96 (which the title can't really be wrong about) or else it's just got leftover '94-95 parts. I think Toyota claimed that all the '96 models had updates, but some '96 models got earlier parts. I don't know. Maybe I'm overthinking this.

[GriffGirl]

Maybe just the early 96 models got the preface stuff?
