question about splitter/skirt matching, What goes with what? Options

[enderswift]

Hey 6GC,

its been a while since I've posted anything, but I guess that's true about most people on this here. Maybe things will pick up in the spring and we'll revive some awesome threads... Anyway I have a question about what splitters go with what skirts and what trim of the celica do they correspond to. Here is what I know/think I know:

I understand that the original 1994 gt4 had no skirts or splitters on it from factory as those didn't show up until later.

I know that ss II and ss III's have their own matching skirt/splitter/rear valence combo (that alot of people seem to just mix and match for some reason)

From what I can tell, there is also a trd set or splitters and skirts (which is super mega positron rare)

Finally, and of most interest to me, I understand that later model GT4's came with factory splitters and side skirts

Can someone please elaborate on the above? specifically the splitters and skirts that would appear on say a 1999 gt4?

I have a 99gt, are the skirts I have the same ones that would come with a gt4? if yes, which front and rear splitters should I be looking at in order to get a matching set?

If you cant tell, I'm trying to avoid buying usdm gt side-skirts with ssIII front splitters and gt4 rear valence skirt. oh and by the way, lets keep this in terms of factory parts. so no c-one or body kits as that would get really confusing

So, I think this is the perfect opportunity for someone who is bored to create a nice pictorial breakdown of all the dress up bits that various 6g's came with. I would step up to the plate but ME is a damn time consuming (but awesome) major.

Hey now, what's wrong with OEM skirts and SS-III splitters? Some people might want to add said splitters to their car that's already equipped with OEM skirts.

Anyway, I don't believe GT-4's did come with splitters.

never said there was anything wrong with it. just makes me go then again my idea of modifying the celica is to make it as factory gt4 as possible... when i graduate -_-

Anyway, I don't believe GT-4's did come with splitters.

Thats what I'm trying to clear up, theres a million places selling all these different bits that say they are kouki gt4 st205 and such.

Rear splitters were an option on the GT4, as far as I can tell. It doesn't seem like the were standard. I see a lot of GT4's without them. From what I've seen, SS-III's have the regular OEM skirts that all the USDM Celica's ('96+) had, paired with their own front and rear splitters, seemingly as standard options. Those are just my observations, not based in fact.
