I have recently bought a jalopy of a celica. I have a 93 rx7 but i needed a daily driver and something that could fit more than 2 people. I found a really cheap celica for $900 but it needs alot of tlc. Originally i was only going to keep it for a year or so until i found a better car, but i've grown to love my little bucket. In search of a new bumber, the one i had was held on by zip ties, i found a gt4 bumper w/lip and hood for $450 local pick up and same color! I have a couple questions regarding the coupe. It seems no one but me has a 6th gen with a trunk that isn't a convertible. I've been looking into the trd spoilers and rear side skirts and i wanted to to know if they would fit the trunk? also would the riser blocks fit the same?

I love my coupe just like Kurt said, its different. They say that coupes are more rigid then hatches because of body design which in return can make, a better track car. but not everyone is out to do that and people tend to like the hatches more because its the same body style as the beloved GT4.

all the mechanical parts are the same as the hatch, just different body types.

The difference is in the rear deck. That creates stability between the two struts. If you put the ST205 bar across, you've remedied the issue and it's just as stiff as a coupe.
