Why - that's the nicest spoiler our car gets stock. The two post one is just ugly.

You're right - it's an opinion and you know what they are like?

Sorry guys - I too own a 2 poster. In fact 2 of the three 6th gens I've owned were 2 posters. As I said - it's just my opinion that the 3 poster is much nicer

I was gonna say the same thing, but saw this on Wikipedia:

"The 1996 Celica received optional side skirts to improve its aerodynamic efficiency, as well as a redesigned rear spoiler. Also available were optional driving lights in the redesigned grille area (standard on GT models). To celebrate 25 years of Celica, the SS-I and SS-III Special Edition were released in Japan, and the 25th Anniversary ST Limited and GT Convertible marked this occasion in the USA."

BTW: Nice car, looks like its in MINT CONDITION!

thanks everyone for your positive feedback! it really makes me feel even better about getting a 6gc.

I was originally gonna get an acura legend coupe (type II woot!) but they arent too reliable, maintenance is expensive, and blown head gaskets seemed to be a common problem for them. And although the legend would've been faster, after sitting in the driver's seat of a celica, I knew it was the right car for me!
