Can anyone give me a pic of a 'face lift' and/or grill upgrade for my car that is simple to do??
Face Lift - 6G Celicas Forums
Still don't know what a face lift is for our generation celica? I hear about it here and there. Pre-face lift, after face lift...what does this mean? Does it look good?
The face lift deals with our cars getting lipo suction, plastic surgery, boob enhancements, etc....lol I'm kidding.
94-95 front bumpers Mainly STs and some GTs "The Smiley Ones" are pre-face lift
96-99 front bumpers Mainly GTs and some STs "The Fanged Bucked Tooth Ones" are the face lift
You sir have a face lift 96 GT. Look at your front bumper and then look at mine in my profile. That should give you a clue. Majority of the time adding some Home Depot or Menards grills to them gives them "some" if any bling factor to them.
Here's a link of SS-III stuff that includes the grill.

Facelift cars (96-99) also have a 3-post spoiler, the 94-95 had a two-post. I personally like the facelift front bumper with the 2-post (pre-facelift) spoiler.
I totally agree with the OP. It took me several weeks to figure out the difference between pre/post facelift, there's no sticky or definite thread on it. Despite how obvious it is once you know it, it's a hassle to find threads on it.

Thanks Guys, that was easy to learn!
It is easy, I'm surprised you didn't know.
Personally, I'd recommend some splitters, or you could also do the aforementioned SS-III grill.

That's the thing. It's such a simple thing, but the lack of a definite post/thread while searching makes it difficult to learn at first. It took me a while to get a comparison in my head about the difference in the front bumpers. I also had no clue at first that the 3-post spoiler was a facelift change, I'd always thought it was an optional thing on all 6GCs.
Which would beg the question of why anyone would want to pick it, I think it looks terrible compared to the 2-post (though it's not too bad, just relatively bad).

I don't mind the three post but I would like to get that duck bill looking spoiler as I have been told it is called.
I do have front splitters.
