Hi everyone,
Has anyone tried use a 98 es300 front end conversion for our cars? It seems like it would look good. Similar to the curren front end and possibly easier to get parts for, assuming that it even fits on the celica. |

show us some really good pics of an es300. I think its a waste of money. Get some nice projectors, a toms lip or SS-III splitters, and you'll be set. Or a gt4 front end conversion for that matter. It'll look better than es300 front end??

Similar to a Curren, yes. But park next to an ES and you'll see how much bigger they are than Celicas. It would definitely be easier to get your hands on but you'll negate any savings with all the custom work necessary. Possible? Yes, but not for the faint of heart.
If you can make it work and make it resemble a Curren, I'm all for it

Thanks you guys, I was just curious about this since my cousin has an es300 i thought maybe it would look good with his front end. I'm going to take some measurements and see if it is possible then. If it is, you guys will be the first to hear about it.

Money wise the es300 might burn a hole in my wallet.
