So the taillights and bumper on my convertible are the coupe style, what is there that I can do aesthetically to make it look better? I know I can change the tails out to Curren tails, and I also know that the GTFour spoiler doesn't fit on the coupe-style trunk that is on the convertibles, at least I don't think it does. So what is there that I can do? I remember reading a LONG time ago that a guy put an S2000 rear bumper on his celica, but I don't remember specifics (hatchback or coupe), or if that was on this forum or one of the other forums. Do you guys know about this mod? What all needs to be done? I have to do body work to both of the lower rear quarter panels anyway, so it's the perfect time for me to change the look of the rear end.

I've also read about s2k tails being used on a 6th gen, but I have never seen any pictures of it. Does anyone know if this is for the coupe or hatchback?

Check out SoundSlut_dotcom. He has S2K tails on his car. Of course, he also has a Porsche front end and no telling how much insane custom fabrication...

Lol nice... That's embarrassing. There's actually a funny, innocent story behind that link, but that's neither here nor there. I've edited the post and put the correct link now.

It looks like he has a wide body kit on the rear, so I doubt it is something that could be done with a little fiberglass and paint. Wow..by far the nicest celica I've seen though. -------------------- -Jay
