I'm about to purchase a set of JDM fenders for my car, since I no longer want to spend ~$800 to repair my US fender.

My first question is, there's no difference in the styling to these due to being on a GT-Four, correct?

Secondly, they'll bolt up the same way? I can't really tell from the pictures.

Also, am I going to have to change the wiring for the sidemarker? It's supposed to blink with your turn signals, correct?

GT4 ones? JDM liftbacks, ST20# are all be the same.

yes, haven't heard of anyone running into problems swapping them.

you might have to extent the wiring though, and you'll need new sidemarkers. Yes, doesn't yours blink along with the front turns?? - if not you might need to rewire them.

USDM sidemarkers will not blink with the turns, Rusty. We're not that cool.

The wiring will have to be extended, but as long as you know how to splice wires, it's no big deal. All the Celicas use the same bolt patterns for the fenders/bumpers, so you're all set on that front. No difference in styling between the USDM/GT4 fenders, with the exception of the sidemarkers.

Awesome. Thanks to both of you, I got the two fenders for about $284 after shipping. One's missing a sidemarker but I'm gonna put clear ones in anyway so it's no big deal. And yes I can splice wires, so it shouldn't be an issue. Excellent.

Unless you're crafty and you pull the bulbs out Looks 1,000x better in my opinion. No inspections where I live so I can get away with it.

Hey I had an afterthought here - if the fenders came off a GT-Four, wouldn't the front of them where they meet the bumper possibly bolt up differently? My stock has three holes with three studs, and I know a GT-Four bumper bolts up differently - I just don't know where.

Either way, I'll get them on. Shipping from Malaysia will take forever though...

Didn't look like there were any dents on these, just a missing sidemarker. Primed black, maybe a few scratches as mentioned in the description. I got them for $80, shipping was what killed me though lol

No the GT-Four bumper are the same regarding to bolting your JDM fenders to the USDM front bumper. My car has the GT-4 front bumper and I have USDM fenders. Except I shaved off the front markers and cut into the US fenders to install my JDM amber side markers. All the bolts lined up perfectly.
