Is it possible? Yes. Is it feasible? Not really. It'll be fully custom fabricated and will be a nightmare to do yourself unless you've done similar conversions. A shop will charge you an arm, both legs, and your firstborn child. Playr158 did the conversion once and his advice is to drop the car off at a shop, cut a huge check, and pick it up later.

The Supra is a larger car than a Celica so in my opinion, the conversion doesn't look good anyway.

It can be done but takes alot of custom work
look into a curren front end. Its mostly a straight swap an itll get rid of the the factory lights
But parts are harder to find

curren swap on a cell looks better than a supra swap on one.

I've done both.
Supra parts are much wider (6") and longer.
so its all custom and requires lots of work...take it to a professional, cut a check.

Curren requires rare OEM parts, you have to (like the supra) cut out the radiator core supports and swap them and then it all bolts together, so its much simplier than surpa.


also use the search button.

Do it! If you don't, I will. I'm dead serious.
