Im sorry forgot to take the caps off hahahhahahha but im not shouting sorry about that ill fix it.
The headlights will not fit on the celica without the curren core support. It is drastically different than the relics core support. Also I don't know of any aftermarket curren hoods that are commercially available.

Is there currently a sticky referencing this conversion? If not any information regarding your conversion playr158?

Best bet is to start looking for a whole front clip.
Search for a local importer an they might be able to find you one

I've looked for one. Your best bet is just to contact a company to have one imported, if you do get one with a beams.to make it worthwhile. You can get all parts from yahoo japan but it adds up in shipping. Here in the us it is rare to find a clip.
Fenders and hood are needed, doubt you'll fins aftermarket . And u need to be careful not to wreck, lol.
The core support is a must.

I'm having a tuff time finding the core aswell. There is a front clip for sale on ebay but no bumpers,hood,fenders,lights.. I did contact my local importer and they are searching. Might try that yahoo route.. Thanks for the info

@floordauto
Without hood and fenders or the core support its really worthless to have the headlights. It will cost massive amounts in body work to have someone fabricate it all.
My conversion. Has been done for ~4-5 years and I had an entire from clip to work from.
Just search current on here and there are several threads talking about the conversion and what's needed.
Don't forget fenders and grille as we'll.
And bumper

, so im trying to see if out here they can make it fit or make a new support, and that would be the downside to my project that thers no hoods available. i see you done a swap too did you finish it?
