Hey there forum. Well guys to be honest I'm mad jealous of the half the celicas I see here and envy the work and time you guys put into the celicas.
My main concern is what can I do to my celica. I think the gt4 bumber is awesome but I dont know what it would take to put it on my celica.
Well to get straight to my question, What lip or lip extensions can I put on my front, rear, and side skirts to give my car the simple but touch celica jdm look.
I have pics of my ride on my profile to show the base model it is.
Thanks guys

Welcome to the forum man!

You have a choice of a few side skirts. There's the OEM '96+ ones, that I have, and there's also the 404 skirts. Presure2 has the 404 ones if you haven't already seen them. There are other aftermarket side skirts that you can get off of ebay, but they will probably require some fitment.

For the rear, there's the SS-III splitters (I'm selling mine actually) and the TRD splitters. I think there's a full wrap around, but don't quote me on that.

As for the front, there's the SS-III splitters for the 96+ bumper. If you're going with the GT4 bumper, there's a few lips, but I don't know much about them yet. I bet another member will be able to answer that for you

Hope that somewhat helps!

I have the SSIII kit on my car, front and rear can be bought from Dustin15Brown, as far as side skirts go i found mine on car-part.com under rocker panel molding, the fitment of the kit is not bad, but im a perfectionist and had to have no gaps what so ever and molded mine in, all can be bought for somewhere around 500, plus paint etc
here is the car

Get the TRD wing for the coupe, it looks sexy!
As for the front end either upgrade to a 96+ Bumper to use the splitters or get a GT-4 hood and bumper

could that same wing fit the convertible?

mkernz22

@eboz - it should fit the vert as it has the same rear end

@rcdel - just take your old one off and bolt this one on!

There are also TRD splitters for the front bumper. They fit both the '94-95 bumper like you have and the '96+ bumper, but they look better on the earlier model cars. Here is 808celica's car with TRD front splitters.


SS-III rear skirts, SS-III/GT4 rear wing. (whatthe's car.)


TRD rear splitters, TRD side skirts, TRD rear wing. (an02's car)


Two coupes with the TRD rear wing. (anabolik and another random 6gc.)


Also, I notice you are in Naples. There is a member local to you there. He posts quite a bit on this forum. His screen name is SwissFerdi. You might send him a PM.

Richee3, most of that is correct but, the wing that Whatthe has is the same as mine, it is not a GT-Four wing, it is actually off of the 98 and 99 SSIII, just look at the emblems on mine, they were not just stuck on there and mine are authentic risers not replicas

Dont get me wrong but isn't that Orange model a Curren? I can't be 100% but that sidemarker isnt found on Celica's? Just a quick thought good post btw

OP- no problem. You can find the TRD front and rear splitters on Ebay, and some members on here (dustin15brown, vincent_doggy) sell replica splitters. Although, if I'm not mistaken, both members only have SS-III splitters.

Raven- you're right, the orange one is a Curren. I also realized after I made that post that neither car is anabolik's. His is green.

and again were talking about the 94 95 splitters right, those are the ones i can find in ebay or from dustin15brown, vincent_doggy

Yeah, the TRD front splitters will fit both the '94-95 and the '96+ front bumpers. They just tend to look better on the pre-facelift bumper. They even fir the GT4 front bumper, provided that notches are cut in them. Here they are on presure2's (GT4 front end, TRD front splitters) car with the notches cut in them.



I had a set like this on my car. ('96+ front bumper, TRD splitters with GT4 notches cut in them.)




The SS-III rear splitters will fit any year Celica, excluding the coupe and convertible. Those are slightly longer than the hatchback. The SS-III front splitters that the members here sell were designed to work with the '96+ front bumper, but members have fitted them to their '94-'95 front bumper and one member even mounted them to his GT4 front bumper. There will just be a slight gap between the splitter and the bumper if they aren't matched to each other.

The TRD front splitters will be easiest to find on Ebay, but they don't pop up as often as TRD rear splitters.

alright so i pretty much understand my front. but then what about my rear. it seems as like there are no splitters or extensions for my coupe.
and thanks alot for the help. im hoping to bring the site a hot 94 coupe

No problem. The front is easy. Coupes and convertibles have it a little bit harder when it comes to finding rear splitters. The back of the car is just a little bit longer, so you have to find specific splitters. Your best bet is to search for "Curren." A Curren is basically a Celica coupe with a different front end. Toyota made TRD rear splitters to fit it. A few members here have them. They are a little bit harder to find, but you can find them if you are patient enough.





Be sure to post pictures of your coupe up

oh was it difficult to get the front splitters to look right? what did you have to do ? and where can i find a pair of ssIII ?

#27

these splitters were made for 96+ but work great on the earlier years. these install fairly easy. i used some of the stock tabs and drilled into the buper in some spots. they fit snug and flush one thing you may want to do is also have double sided tape to hepl hold it tight against. buth you can get these splitters from these two guys. (dustin15brown, vincent_doggy) good quality stuff and sometimes cheaper than ebay.
