and on a side note, i found this on the Ultimate Celica Forum... it's like 6gc.net but in japanese, it's bigger and with a lot of content.. i still have to visit all the sub-forums and look at more celicas! 3/4 of the cars are gt-fours and are tastefully modded... oh man. soo cool!


oh and i found this handy How-To page, read it and you'll learn a lot of misc things.. (translated)

How-To Articles am i allowed to steal info like this? biggrin.gif

i think it has potential. the thing i hated about the 7gc exterior is the rear anyways. but i still prefer the 4-eyed look.
ss-iii splitters and 404 skirts areon. which means i need to update my sig.

Thats actually pretty cool, someone did a nice job with the 6gc-7gc front conversion. back needs a little work though.

Unique. I usually hate these frankencars but that actually doesn't look too bad.

not too bad. i would kinda like to see it from the side though to see it the lines and curves of the front flow well with the back.
nice find
Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)

I hate to say it but I actually thing it's HIDEOUS! I think those tail light masks are SUPER gay in a plastic spinning-rim wheel cover Wal-Mart kinda way, and lambo doors are ostentatious and played out! The muffler sticks out and totally works against the lines of the rear, and what is that, duct tape above it? I'm sure it's not, but it looks like it a little in the pic.

I can totally appreciate the work and time that went into it, but for my own taste I think it's butt-ass ugly. IMO 7th Gs have their place and 6Gs have their place, but I think this car detracts from the design elements of both and bastardizes the Celica as a whole.

The car looks horrible. The front doesn't belong on the 6g body. The front is obviously too short for the cars body. The rear ligths look like crap. WOW. They should've just let the 7th gen be a 7th gen. Wow.

I think most of us were talking about the conversion - not the various rice-like mods present. On that count, you would have few people that would disagree with you. Now, take a lude woman.

Ya left that part out, which addresses the conversion part. No one actually asked for specific responses regarding technical stuff vs. aesthetic stuff. I just chose to address the aesthetic aspect is all.

Like I said, I appreciate the time and energy and creative thinking that went into it. IMO a conversion involves more than just mechanical knowledge to be successful, it should be fluid and seamless in both looks and functionality. Being that I'm not standing in front of the car, I can only go by how it looks. To me it looks kind of "choppy" and unrefined.

It's just my opinion though, and since I'm still really new at this, I certainly don't tout myself as any kind of authority!

mmm, 'ludes....

i read a couple of the how to's (badly translated btw) but not that one. most of them seem to be fairly simple mods (as far as i could tell)

Hate to say it but the 6GC and 7GC should not be combined like this..

everyone knows that the 6GC is about its smooth curves and grace..
As the 7GC is to its sharp edges and aggressive corners..
ALSO Lambo doors are for Lambos lol.. [Flame Suit ON!]

Back to the vehicle, the conversion is clean, not tacky with panels misaligned and by inches.
