Arsaces, your seats should be compatible with the seat covers. The preface seats have bigger shoulder bolsters, which fit the top part of the covers perfectly. The facelift seats leave a little extra room in the covers. I believe the preface seats have slightly different mounting brackets though, meaning you will need to cut an extra hole in the side of each seat cover. No big deal though.

The seats I have leave a lot of extra room in the "wings" of the seat, also the seat bottom's upholstery mounts differently than the seat covers. I have been scrounging junkyards for the right seats, but sadly there aren't many Celis out here, and the one that I knew had the seats I needed got crushed before I got the money to get them  -Nate |

QUOTE (kurt95gt @ Feb 1, 2012 - 8:58 AM) QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Feb 1, 2012 - 12:49 PM) Did the two-post three-post thing a few days ago. I'm still not sure why Toyota designed the spoiler so oddly, but I do like it for the 90s appeal. The look is much improved with the middle post gone. Still driving on a leaky axle. Idk about on the hatch but on the coupe the spoiler is kinda flimsy without the middle post So i think it was put in to stiffin the wing up I never had an issue with I took mine off? Strange. Today i offered my 6gc up in a trade for a mk4................. |

I think the TC rims are too flat for how round our cars bodies are :\ Too heavy too.

WRC Sparco mudflapped.
   Love them. Nothing like keeping salt from spraying under your door. Highly recommended for those that DD their 6GC and have winter tires that kick up lots of snow.
