Replacement Stock Fenders/Front Bumper Options

[MyFirstCar]

I have just bought this 94 GT liftback Celica for cheap and the previous owner had dented the passenger side fender. They got a replacement, but it looks terrible, but it wasn't bad enough for me not to buy the car. Also, the front bumper (original) doesn't look properly seated. I'm thinking that they had to take the bumper off in order to put the replacement fender on, and then didn't put the bumper back correctly. Can I get new replacements from Toyota and how would I do that? I will try to post a picture of the bumper/fender tomorrow.

Toyota stocks pretty much every part still for the sixth-gen; your best bet is 1sttoyotaparts.com, using their body parts catalogue.

maybe they just didn't put all the bolts back in when putting the bumper back on (yes it does need to come off when replacing a fender). here's a wrire-up on how to remove a front bumper which may help you"

EDIT: you can also get OEM parts off ebay for pretty cheap. fenders are around $180 with shipping, I don't remember how much bumpers are, but I know they have them (the 94-95 style at least, if you're planning future body modifications, you might want to look into getting a GT-four bumper and hood, or a 96-99 bumper, just look around this site for pictures.

I'd take this opportunity to check out the available front bumpers from Toyota. There are 3 of them that I can think of:
-GT4 [will require a hood too but it's def the way to go looks wise]
-JDM SSIII/'96-'99 USDM
-USDM '94-'95
Or check out the thread in the exterior styling stickies about available body kits. Make sure you plan ahead and get your combination worked out in your head before you buy anything [some bodykits don't look right with some skirts etc.].
Above all, don't do like some others on here and buy a replacement OEM front end and then turn right around and get something different - that's just money wasted. You have a functional bumper now so take your time

And is that the hood that goes with it?

yes, that picture shows the GT-four hood and bumper, along with JDM fenders (different sidemarker location), GT-four spoiler blocks, and JDM projector headlights all this stuff is pretty pricy but is, IMO, one of the best looks for the celica.

Are the eBay fenders fiberglass?
