Hood Question, Hood fitment Options

[StylnPlane]

Hey, im looking into buying the ST205 hood...
I own a 95 2.2 Celica GT-S
Will it fit..? What do I have to do if it doesnt?
Also, do i HAVE to buy the st205 front bumper for it to fit seemless?
Thx, Zac

The gt4 hood will fit however this version has a 'bump' between the lights.
seen here:


The regular gt does not have a bump.
seen here:


without the bumper there will be a gap between the hood and bumper. and i believe youll need the gt4 hood latch as well.
you can modify the hood like another member here has done (cant remember who)

or just buy the bumper too.

also i feel obligated to say what most people will say and 'try the search function.'

The "another member here" is me

But I have to say that it's not easy and cheap to modify the hood. The problem is, that the edge of the hood after moulding is not the same as the edge of the ST hood. The gap between the bumper and the hood is different on two spots. I was told you can't cut the edge to the shape of the ST hood as the hood has two aluminum plies and you will never fit it together again.

So the result depends on the skills of the bodyman.
