Hey guys, I'm new here.
 I'm in the market for a sixth gen Celica soon, and since I'm just one ferry-ride away from the UK (I'm from Holland), I'm thinking about importing a GT4. There's just one thing I really can't seem to adapt to; the GT4's front bumper. I just don't like the hole in the middle. I know it has its purpose, but what I wanna know is this: Does a normal bumper from any 6th gen N/A Celica (facelift or pre facelift) fit on a GT4 without too much hassle, and does it have a significant impact on performance (like airflow)? I hope you guys can help me out! Regards, Michael |

I'm just not sure how you would go out of your way, to do this besides the looks you want, I think it just wouldn't be worth the money or time to do that. Are you willing to spend somewhere around 2 thousand to do this? It doesn't make sense to spend this kind of money to make it a non-gt4 looking celica. besides sourcing all the right parts, labor, paint, money, time, i just don't understand and at the end of it all, you are reducing air flow. its a lose lose situation. You would be spending to downgrade looks, functionality, and efforts. I mean you may have your preference but it is not economically or logical to do it.
