A few questions for a Celica 1992 - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

First of all thank you for answering my previous question.
I need to find out if there is a place where I can buy Toyota Celica parts, these particularly are the body parts. A lot of websites that I have visited do not show Toyota Celica parts.

Another question I have is, what are the chances of getting a custom center console for a Celica 1992 model? I want to fit another audio system with a 7 inch screen, but the A/C controls wouldn't allow the screen to pop open. If anyone knows of a website for the same, please do let me know.

Also, a good site for getting custom body parts would help too. I wanted to customize the car since it landed in my lap for free.

I already bought MOMO Course RPM race wheels for it (17") haven't installed it yet but hoping that it would look good. Didn't think the 14" factory wheels did the trick.

Here is a picture of what I would like the car to eventually (hopefully) look like. It's not too great but since the car is for free ... what the heck!
Thank you guys for the support

Go to http://www.1sttoyotaparts.com/ for all factory toyota parts. It's best if have the part numbers first.

In the picture, the celica has a ST185 (Turbo All-Trac/GT-Four) hood and a modify GT-Four RC front bumper. As for the side it's a generic aftermarket bodykit (I think the shogun kit I think, all I know is that it's from the late 90s).

To be honest I don't really like that look. It looks all out of place. THe modify RC bumper looks OK, but with it being modify like that I would use a RC hood to along.

I really like the hood on this car, but i cant find this one anywhere, everywhere I go they are asking 600 ddollars. I guess octane motor sports are the only ones that have the hood advertised.

If you looking for the exact toyota OEM then $600.00 for the whole hood incluidng the little extras then it's a good price. You could trying finding a used hood.

If I was you and having no real need for the scoop (TMIC use only) I would get the RC hood.
check the link for an image of the GT-Four RC.

Thank you, I will try to find myself an RC Hood, that actually doesnt look all too bad.
I dont know if it is worth spending the money on this car without having a a guy take a look at the engine. I fear there is a compression issue and if that is true, i think it will cost me an arm and a leg for the repair.
I just hope its not a failed investment.
