i had the same idea. i love the look of the gt-four hood, but i love my splitters at the same time. looks even more awesome than i had imagined. nice work.

lol... I would never cut new GT-four bumper . Thanks to bodhi I had that upper grille part from his crashed GT-four... but my problem is I just do not like that lower part of OEM GT-four bumper... dunno why but I just do not like it . I like that 96+ lower part with splitters ... however... honestly Rom and Gerald are right as well... that TOM'S lip would be nice .

and agree... this mod is only for enthusiasts... common folks would not notice any difference at all

>no way you cut up a gt4 bumper wow i wouldnt have the ballz to cut up a gt4 bumper.......great job once again. so when are the rims going on with a nice photo shoot??

As said, the GT4 bumper was busted up.
I was going to take it to the rubbish tip but Martin asked if I would cut the middle out and send it over.

It sounded like a great celica project, so I couldn't refuse




Martin, the finished bumper looks stunning, you must be grinning constantly!
Excellent work and dare I say, I think it does look better than the GT4 bumper!... although I don't think I can take a saw to my black one lol.
Absolutely love the colour too, can't wait to see it with the new rims fitted too!

Oh man - you beat me to it! I've always said the GT4 bumper just looks to square-ish to be on such a completely rounded car. I was hoping to do the same but I didn't know how yet and I don't have the $ to throw at it like that. Now I won't do it cause that's not right to do to you. I was gonna use the OEM splitters tho.
That looks 100% better than any Celica I've ever seen - almost exactly what I want my car to look like except the color [which is beautiful BTW - I just have a thing for black] and the splitters. Mega fcuking props man
You even have a cool name for it too

I'm with you Martin. I don't like the bottom half of the gt4 bumper. I might copy you now haha...

a few times it has crossed my mind to put the gt4 hood on my carand have the grill vent thingy on my pre-96 bumper butthat would just look really ugly. after i realized how much i like the 96+ bumper i thought of how it would look and if it was worth doing... but i didnt have any money so i just forgot about it.
anyway very nice malpaso. best looking front end on a celica hands down

If somebody else want to do this, I have a front bumper skin sat in my back yard gathering errrr.....rain, I dont mind chopping it up the same as above and sending it to where ever.......It was promised to someone else but after over a year they have never tried to claim it.........I will try one more time to contact them to see if they still want it.....if not its up for grabs (offers) + postage

My project goal is simple... no more replicas... unique look only... this is evolution... this is SS-four!






As you can see it's not fully finished (hood spoiler is not installed, lower grille is missing, foglights are missing and of course still ugly winter tires on...)

Isn't it amazing how the Celica doesn't look old or aged at all compared to that obviously brand new truck? It looks like a current model car just like the truck.

Looks great! I'm looking forward to see it on alu wheels. After words that I've heard about repairing celica bumpers or joining two parts of it together is nearly impossible I have to say, that guys from toyota made an excelent work.

Congratulations to your "new" celica!

I have so more pics to share now. This may help also anyone who can make GT-four frontend conversion:

safety hook solution (prolonged by welding)


bumper support brackets (in the picture is not that noticeable but there is whole supporting plate not just two brackets)


bumper retainer (IMHO is better using original GT-four bumper retainer not just bending non GT-four one...


...mainly because of another "cheat message" I can have on my car )
