Corolla gt-s >to Levin Gtz - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Somewhere down the line after the body work and Intake and exhaust mods, I want to convert my GT-S to a levin gtz. I'm wondering what I'm looking at for the price, I'm thinking that getting a front clip of a Levin Gtz would be the best choice, how much would it cost and where could I get the front clip and what type of work would be needed swaping the parts over to my car, thanks.
By the way I will be able to afford this because I finnaly got a new job and quit delivering pizzas I work at a mohawk gas station now and I get a lot of hours for part time.

Front clip, probably about $3000 and up then you're looking at labour cost and stuff like that. You're looking at at least $5000 to put into the car just to convert, unless you do it yourself. As for where to get one.. look around your area at Japanese parts places, they might be able to get them.. they're hard to find though.

^^^ i see them on ebay frequently..... there's a company that imports clips here in my small city and i'm sure they could get one...... and jarco always has them

Well I would be doing the work by myself with my dad, theres no way i'd get a shop to this kinda of work if they can't even do a tune up properly!

$5000 to convert? why not just save another $1000 and buy an authentic JDM AE92 GTZ....

Beautiful car!!! I know cars over in Japan aren't all that much (older ones), but isn't making the car legal in the USA really expensive?

BTW, the GTZ is a Levin, right? Different from the Trueno? I'm so lost when it comes to JDM Corollas lol

there was some guy on here that did an sr5 to gtz conversion IMO though i dont like the levin head lights if it were my choice i would go with the levin bumper conversion and get the trueno gtz hood. still a very beuatiful car but i like this one better :p

Levin and Truenos both come in GTZ models.. GTZ just means is supercharged.

I like both Levin and Truenos myself.

aaron7 · 12-07-2005, 05:45 PM

Ok, so the only difference was the Levin had stationary headlights, whereas the Trueno has pop-up ones?

***REN69*** · 12-07-2005, 07:26 PM

yep, that's basically it.

BTW mikey! that GTZ sold to someone in Calgary a LONG time ago for $6000.
