Hi guys, I figured there was no harm in making a build thread for my daily. I found this car 3 months ago, 6 hours south of my home town and just couldn't pass it up. The car was just too good to be true. No rust, low miles and in just beautiful condition, with all the comforts needed for a daily. The build will be very slow seeing this is just my daily, my main project is another vehicle. I have a goal of making the car appear as close to a true GT4 WRC as possible, I'm sure I will get some hate because of this but it won't bother me any. Seeing we never got them in the US I thought it would be a nice change, no plans on a 3sgt swap (yet). So let me bring you up too speed.

The '94 ST205 or the '99 wheel would be different and model correct, though the '99 is similar to the wheel used in 7th gens and a lot of the later Toyotas. The Nardi wheel looks good and if removing the airbag isn't a concern then might as well use it since you like it and have it already.

Having a difficult time deciding on what to do with the front of the car. Part of me thinks the Euro splitters is all I need to make the car flow well, then another part of me really wants to order the Eurou Front lip simply because it is my favorite. I am scoring a Euro rear bumper lip this week which I am pretty excited about. Have been looking for one for some time now. Also found the window rain guards I have looked long and hard for, however it's looking like it will be over a month before I receive them

Eurou lip costs about 700-800 shipped and several weeks of waiting just in case you wanted to know. why don't you just use the C-one front lip?

They are actually much more affordable then I originally anticipated. $203.00 for the lip and $308.00 for DHL shipping to my work. But yea 2-4week wait on them (Seems to be that way for anything with this car). In my opinion the lines on the c-one lip just don't look right.

I've always liked the TOM's Magic lip the most, which is was meant for facelifted bumpers but it works on pre-facelifted ones too:
![]() Though it'd look better if the openings in the sides of the GT-Four bumper were filled in and smoothed out, but you've already painted the car so that wouldn't be feasible. Then again the C-ONE lip leaves them exposed as well. I think I like the Euro more than the C-ONE though.

Yea the Toms lip looks good on the face lift bumper, I'm not a huge fan of it on the GT4 front. The sides do seem to flow well with the side skirts however. Eurou lip it is, Hopefully I like it.

I think the Euro lip will look good, would look really good with some clear turn signal indicators. The biggest jump in the bumper to the lip is next to the indicators and the orange draws your attention to it, clear would make those blend in with the rest of the lighting and wouldn't draw in attention to the area. A European member, Wolf or Wolfie? they had a Porsche 944, used to make and sell clear lenses moulded off the factory originals and they looked really good. At least that's what I'd do anyway.

U might be right, they look good in pics not sure about in person. Then again the eurou lip is a half bumper lip and is made to match the height of the eurou or Trd skirts so idk either me and you are in the same dilemma since I bought the cone also, but a replica of the eurou lip is supposedly being produced now. Maybe u should paint and try it on or maybe they look better in black This post has been edited by trdproven: Dec 29, 2016 - 3:50 AM -------------------- 94 Celica GT

Right, lucky the car has the body line going down the door and quarter that seems to match the leading edge of the Eurou Lip (Or at least very close). I wish I could get the Eurou skirts and the Zapt rear bumper. This set up all in all looks the best. But the Version 1 skirts are impossible to find along with the zapt rear cover. Not to mention how much I HATE fiberglass and would prefer to have as little of it as possible on my car.

I got the oem Crystal clear side markers and the auto art clear indicators, much nicer than wolfies.
Wolfies is good if you get the muddy clear side Markers and get his muddy indicators. -------------------- 94 Celica GT

Yea, I'm not sure if I am a big fan of the clear indicators or not yet. Personally the orange looks fine to me. The OEM clear lamps looks good as well, but I'm not a fan of the crystal ones. They remind me of something you would instal on an accord back in the early 2000's. When I installed the front end I purchased all new OEM orange lamps, so I don't think i will be changing them just yet. But we shall see.

wolfie's own is not really oem just reproduced as semi clear similar to the OEM amber ones with the same transaparency just white instead. But sure yea I don't think you could go wrong either way. I also have the amber indicators and side markers as well as spares.
below you can see the difference with placing an amber bulb inside which pretty much makes the whole thing amber and then clear bulbs on clear. really is a preference between preface and facelift concept of amber vs clear. ![]() ![]() oem frosted clear vs oem crystal clear ![]() ![]() Wolfie clear vs Autoart clear ![]() ![]() so you would basically match the OEM frosted clear with Wolfie (Classic JDM), and the OEM crystal clear with the Autoart Clear (Modern) This post has been edited by trdproven: Jan 3, 2017 - 10:07 PM -------------------- 94 Celica GT
