I own a 95 GT Convertible. Little did I know when I opened the door panel, it had a sticker saying top was installed in california. I then found out all the celica's came oversees with hardtops- then chopped off in the states and made into a convertible. This sounds very shady. I have a tough time believing toyota actually reinforced the structure as well. Ive has so many problems with the "aftermarket" convertible. If I knew toyota outsourced this to some company, I would have never bought this convertible. The fact is was a hard top transformed into convertible makes me wonder how safe the car really is..
Can anyone confirm celica was reinforced?? |

ok- here is a pic of my car that has the best view of that bar you are talking about...
if you look where my arrows are, you can see a strip of grayish color that runs the bottom of the car, most pronounced just in front of the rear wheel where it starts. Anybody who has changed a flat knows you have to mount your jack on the proper spot on this strip and i do apologize for the blurry image conversion... -------------------- Car #3: 98 Accord LX- purchased 5/06, totaled 8/06
