All right, it's over been a year since I've had my 94 STX coupe. Not even two months after I drove it... I damaged my baby. It look like something punched it in the eye... my headlamp lens completely shattered and my right fender damaged along with the front bumper. By now, after rain and what not, rust has covered what was exposed beneathe the fiber glass. Somehow there is damage on my left fender, a nice dent, and my rear bumber has nice scrathes on it from poor parking experiances, all not from my driving.

Ok so soon I'll be able to fix all the damage and repaint my car and drop a system. Then MUCH later, as a hobby cuz the 6th gen celica is just so awsome, I wanna tune up performance...

With that said, I have like a thousand questions... hopefully all you members here can help me out.

Question #1
Getting a body kit and a fender kit for my car would obviously replace all the damamge at once, cuz I already bought (but haven't installed) a new headlamp assembly. But the more I research kits for my car, the more i realize there aren't any really FOR my car, each kit requires xtra work or something. All the kits, almost, in the Body kit guide specify that its for hatch backs... or that the front bumpers that would fit my car are just "lip attacthments". Where do i find (or is there) any exclusive coupe kits? Or at least a custom rear bumper that i wouldn't need to modify, i wouldn't mind mix-match...

I saw some HIRO merchandise from member ChrisC, and kick myself for not being able to cop some of his awsome JDM coupe stuff he was selling. I saw a pic of a coupe with a kewl rear bumper tho in his posts (is that a lip?)... is there more like that?

i have so many questions...

Any kits front bumper will fit your car. As will the sides. There should be no problems fitting any of the kits fronts you see int eh body kit guide to your car beside the normal fittment issues.

The only difference you need to worry about is the rear bumper. THe coupes rear is slightly longer than the hatchabcks, so if you want a rear bumper, youll need to have it modified.

I think ChrisC still sells all of his Hiro stuff. But for the coupes he doesnt keep a ton of stock sitting around, so when you order something for the coupe he makes them for you. This just means it takes longer for you to get them.

Kewl... i will definately hit up some Hiro merchandise...

Question #2

Okay, no one talks about it much, but the signal lights from coupe to hatchback differ. The coupe signal lights are larger. So are they the same as Curren signal lights? Those diamond euro signal lights on eBay are for only for 90-93 models and "only for models with fog lights" (HB's 96-99). If I get a new front bumper, would i need (or could i use) new signal lights? The right signal on my car also doesn't turn on any more when you turn the headlights on. The right signal light only works when you signal right (that's good at least biggrin.gif ). Anyway, clues as why that would be?

For your fender try the lasers. As far as the rear, cyberbestbuy.com might have a rear for the coupe. The coupes came with foglights also. I think 97 and up. You can very easily change the front end to the newer style. I have no ideal what you mean about the larger turn signals. Every ??? can be answered if you use the search forum

re: the turn signals. coupes and hatches have the same fronts so the signals/bumper/fenders are all the same. what you are probably noticing is that they don't make clear turn signals for 94-95 celicas. there are several ways to remedy this 1) buy a 96-99 bumper or invader kit where you can fit other signals 2) make your own custom clears via the guide in the how-to section 3) fit 90-93 signals and live with the small gap. any other questions feel free to ask, I'm not around much this week but the regulars here all know their stuff smile.gif

I don't think they made coupes in '97+

Someone want to assure this?
