Not a 4th gen 3S-GTE and that front does indeed have to go. The wheels almost look like bronze tC?

Wheels are definitely Subaru.

That car is located in Quebec.
States shipping to US will be at buyers expense.
As well as that company is located in Quebec.
Since its a law in Quebec that RHD vehicles cannot be registered I`m sure they are just trying everything to get rid of the cars they have.

Every single person has a different perspective on what is perceived as beautiful. Whether its looking at cars, art, people, animals, movies, cartoons, literature and other forms of media... we all have different opinions.

With our cars I have seen a natural transformation between when our community first started to what it is now. In early years most members were pushing radical and creative in forms of various body kits, including invader. As time progressed, 6gc celica has become a car of the past especially since introduction of 7gc model. Part suppliers have pulled out and so did many people who used those parts.

I know I know late generation (aka people in their 16-20's) have mostly steered themselves into gt-4 lookalikes but invader kit was popular for a reason. If it looked like crap then veilside (the real one) would never have created their veilside celica body kit in the first place. They cater to high end cars and have pretty good taste in their selection of cars and kits.

Car modifications in general are subject to eye of the beholder. But lets not get into that.

veilside.... all the curves and aerodynamic makes the car looks too complicated. the red celica is looks simple and its pretty daymm nice! but then again, like you said, its all about personal taste.

i'll go with the crowd ^_^

:facepalm:

Yes the invader may be one of the most over the top that we are offered. (comming from a blitz fan )

BUT dear gentlemen... It could be worse...

Thinking that economy cars have anything in common with exotics is the basis of the whole "rice" thing.

rice... ftw

While I can agree that the (USDM models, at least) 6GC is basically a damn awesome body on an economy car chassis, I can't quite call it an economy car...I would never EVER think to dump the money I'm planning to dump into my baby into something like...a Kia.

I am fairly certain the base price for a 94 celi was 22 grand (its been too long so cant remember for sure). In comparison to Kia, Geo, Suzuki, Hunday etc I would have to say that celi was priced substantially more. But it was also not offered as a watered down gt-4 with option of buying gt-4 (kind of like mitsubishi lancer evo vs mitsubishi lancer or subaru impreza wrx vs subaru impreza). If toyota had any common sense (which we know they don't) and if toyota did not pull out of major racing sports... we would all be driving a gt-4 right now and not having this conversation.

I will agree on one thing. Invader kit (and any other kit for that matter) does not belong on a rally car that will get scratched, dinged or dented. On the other hand if you never go offroad in a awd rally car..... that's kind of sad but I guess for city dwellers body kits seem to work best as means to an end.

I have never liked the vader kit on any car (as it is the whore of body kits) and the fact it is available for every single car known to man, I pass on it. It robs the look of any car and the main focus is that funky kit, which seems to stand out the most and could never be mistaken. You cannot be original on that kit, since they made it for every single car since early or mid 90's and are still continuing to build it for every single car that comes out. If people like it, then that's cool, just don't show it to me and expect good things to be said. That's all.
