uh oh its the return of Snapshot, Texas grammar Ranger.

pot and kettle black together smile.gif
am I the only one that is doing a Curren conversion on it's designed platform? I have a coupe, not hating hatches or anything I just like the look of it on a coupe.

If anyone needs info on the Toyota Curren feel free to PM me!
does anyone know where to find clear turnsignal lenses for this clip?

ive searched for them with no luck

any ideas would be helpful
there are no clear turn signals for the curren that i can find...
When I have some spare time I might try to clear them or something, think plexi from Home Depot or something....or ditch them wink.gif

HIRO's curren has them though

I can't see your pic (I'm at work) but if you have the 94-95 zenki front end it has amber blinkers, if you have the facelifted 96-98 kouki front end you'll have the clear blinkers. As far as I know it doesn't look like the blinkers could swap over but I could be wrong since I don't see Currens all the time. The Hiro one and the one on the track are both 96-98.

That one has the TRD package. It has a TRD font bumper with the molded grille, oem side skirts, and a TRD rear wing. Looks like it has the 3S-GE

Good luck dip! I would love to see it all together at the meet.
Got mine back yesterday, had to rattle can the front red for now because the front was silver and the car is red. I put all the lights in, but now need to wire them up will post pics soon.

Can't wait to see the results!

you should've left it silver and red. silver bumper, hood, roof, and trunk.

would look sick.

I don't normally drive fast, but when I do its on a curvy section of this island
I think the Curren front end looks too much like a Honda Accord circa 1994, but I guess anyone that is really into Celica's would recognized the difference.
some say it looks like an s14. SOoooooooo!!!!

I've been getting that a lot i've also heard camry and AE101/111 levin. Also I finally wired the headlights in it looks awesome now I just need to get some 8000K HIDs.

to 808celica, what you're saying would look nice. when it came out of the shop most of under the hood was color matched so there was some over spray on to the fenders making them look red/pink so I had to rattle can it just for now until I can get it all factory red again.
